David Kristof

Dancer in Mannheim, Germany

I was born in 1986 in Hungary. Studied ballet for 10 years at the Hungarian Dance Academy, Budapest.

After i graduated in 2006, i started my official dance career in Hungary at the National Theater Pécs. I spent there 4 years and danced in numerous contemporary ballets. Two of them were very important for my artistic development: the role of Spartacus in the director, Balázs Vincze's piece and the main role in Leo Mujić's Change Back.

I left Pécs to try my abilities as a freelancer and to collect more experiences. After a year of working in Hungary's and Croatia's freelance field for example with Masa Kolar and Cameron McMillan, in 2011 I started to work with Kevin O'Day Ballett Mannheim, in Germany.

I was fortunate enough to work with Kevin O'Day and Dominique Dumais in their company for the last five years. I danced in all their creations for example R. A. W., Pure, I'm with the band, Kammerspiel, Othello, Der kleine Prinz, Chansons and worked with two guest choreographers: Robert Glumbek (Casanova) and Lukas Timulak (Body and Language). This five years was a very intense and artistically stimulating, totally creative experience, where i learnt and grew a lot. All the roles were tailor made and/or adapted to the dancers abilities and personalities.

From 2016 September i stayed and spent two years with Stephan Thoss's new dance company in Mannheim, until now, when i can call myself very fortunate to be able to join Dominique and Kevin in the Mainfranken Theater in Würzburg and keep working together.
