About us
Our history
We, that is the Choreologist Tatjana Thierbach and the OtrinArtManagement GmbH.
Tatjana was Uwe Scholz's choreologist from 1993 until his death. She notated the majority of his works and rehearsed them in major companies around the world.
During her time at the Leipzig Ballet, she worked closely with Uwe Scholz and studied his artistic intentions. On the one hand, this relates to the detailed musicality and execution of his choreographies.
She also witnessed the creation of lighting design, costumes and stage sets. In addition, however, she witnessed how Uwe acted when transferring a choreography to a new cast or ensemble.
It is a challenging and exciting task to understand where Uwe knew how to "attract" a choreography of a new cast with other potentials and other personalities, and where he was uncompromising in his demands on the musical content and his straightforward style.
