CELEBRATING 30 YEARS OF STEPS — "Steps ist weltweit das einzige Tanzfestival, das in einem ganzen Land stattfindet. Hier verlässt der Tanz sozusagen die Metropolen der Welt und kommt zum Publikum" says Christian Spuck, Artistic Director of Ballett Zürich.
We asked choreographers who have presented their works at the festival over the past years, as well as directors of participating companies, to make a statement about Steps. You find Christian Spuck's complete statement as part of this collection on www.steps.ch under „Specials“ #thankyou #christianspuck  #30yearsofsteps #stepsfestival #migroskulturprozent �� Jos Schmid
