Born in Germany in 1986, Dustin Klein began his dance training at his mother’s dance school in Landsberg am Lech before graduating from the Royal Ballet School in London. After starting his professional career in Dusseldorf at the Deutsche Oper am Rhein, Dustin moved to the Bavarian State Ballet in Munich where he is currently a soloist and performs in numerous productions working alongside acclaimed choreographers. Since 2012 Dustin has been choreographing his own work for both international dance and opera companies including the Bavarian State Ballet and Bavarian State Opera in Munich, Stanislavsky & Nemirovich-Danchenko Music Theatre in Moscow, Bundesjugendballett in Hamburg and Origen Festival Cultural in Switzerland. Through continuing to develop his own innovative style of choreography, he has been awarded the ‘Bundesjugendballett Hamburg Production Award’ at the 33rd International Choreography Competition in Hannover, the ‘Audience Award’ at the 34th Bayerische Theatertage in Regensburg, and both the ‘Ellinor Holland Art Prize’ and the ‘Cultural Sponsorship Award’ from his hometown Landsberg am Lech. His style of work is highly collaborative across different mediums, regularly working with composers, graphic designers, film makers and computer animation as well as set and costume designers.
