The Long Pathway from Dancer to Agent

61 years old, since 1998 an agent for the Central Stage Agency. Student of the Folkwang School. Worked in Toronto, Gelsenkirchen, and Düsseldorf. Slid into a career as a successful dancer, ballet director, and choreographer, was director of the ballet in Munich's Gärtnerplatz Theater until 1995. Had a smooth transition from ballet soloist to "ballet manager," and in his heart he would much rather have been an actor.
