Weeks ago you took over the position of director of the National Ballet of Kosovo, how does this fact make you feel?

An obligation and professional and moral mission, to be in the service of the tireless work of dancers who sweat every day, as professionals of a noble and very difficult profession, such as ballet.

Also, to guarantee the present and the future of the KCB, humbly respecting all those who over the years have given their contribution to the National Ballet of Kosovo.

Of course, it is an extraordinary honor to follow the professor and former Director of KCB, the now deceased Ahmet Brahimaj, who has made an extraordinary contribution to our ballet.

Telegraph:

How did you describe Ballet in your beginnings, and how will it be now?

What will be different?

Sinan Kajtazi:

I started ballet in 2001. In the second year of ballet studies, I had the good fortune to join my generation of ballet dancers in ballet performances as a student.

At the time, things were pretty different than they are today.

You can even imagine it yourself!

A country just out of war, who would have thought of ballet?

Today, everything is different, certainly in favor of ballet in this case.

Thanks to the colossal work done over the years by the National Ballet of Kosovo, the respect for the KCB but also the ballet in Kosovo, is much greater and at satisfactory levels compared to the period before 20 years.

Telegrafi:

How much importance is given to Ballet in Kosovo and how should it be?

Is there support from the competent bodies?

Sinan Kajtazi:

I said it and I am repeating it.

The work that KCB has done for years, quality performances, festivals and tours in the region and various centers of Europe, have made this profession receive attention.

KCB has attracted attention due to the positive results it has shown.

Of course support has not always been appropriate, but we have never hesitated to seek support.

We are a small country and KCB in a way, is also the epicenter of this beautiful genre of art.

Telegraph:

What are the most important performances by the Ballet Troupe, and what will be in the upcoming preparations?

Sinan Kajtazi:

The National Ballet of Kosovo, has realized performances of classical, neoclassical and contemporary repertoire, in collaboration with well-known names of world choreography.

We will continue to cultivate these collaborations, always in order, in addition to being in trend with the world, to bring quality works to the local public and beyond.

Telegraph:

In addition to getting involved in Ballet, you are also an accomplished musician playing a number of instruments.

Among these professions, where does Sinan see himself most?

Sinan Kajtazi:

From a young age, I live with ballet and music.

Practically, being a musician has also helped me a lot as a dancer.

Ballet is an artistic genre, based on music, so I was lucky in this aspect.

I have said it other times, I feel complete with both together.

In fact, I'm extremely happy that I have cultivated in myself the desire and consistency to deal with both ballet and music.

Telegraph:

What do you think the Ballet lacked, which could be realized now?

Sinan Kajtazi:

Working conditions.

Halls and stages to display all the potential of the talented dancers we have.

Telegraph:

What are your plans to unveil to the public and ballet lovers?

Sinan Kajtazi:

In September of this year, we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the creation of the National Ballet of Kosovo.

This is the event that will get the attention of the upcoming plans.

Of course the plans are numerous, and I have no doubt that everything that depends on us as the KCB, will be realized in the best possible way.
