Meet the 2024 Springback Academy writers

Our new writers will be mentored by the dream team of dance critics Donald Hutera (The Times), Sanjoy Roy (The Guardian), Kelly Apter (The Scotsman), Emily May (TLS, Frieze et al.) and Laura Cappelle (New York Times) at Spring Forward in Darmstadt, Wiesbaden and Mainz.
Under the direction of Oonagh Duckworth and the guidance of these five dance writers, they will have the chance to write reviews about the festival performances and to develop their critical writing skills for a number of different formats.
