Kunsthuis Opera Vlaanderen Royal Ballet Flanders has “decided to end its professional relationship with Ms Assis Carreiro” as of July 28, 2014.
Assis Carreiro, the driving force behind DanceEast, has been appointed artistic director of the Royal Ballet of Flanders. She joins the Antwerp-based company at a difficult time. The previous director, Kathryn Bennetts, clashed with the Flemish culture minister, Joke Schauvliege, over plans to amalgamate the Antwerp opera and ballet companies under a single intendant.
