[UPDATE 19-2-2014: meanwhile, the appointment is final]
This week, French media surfaced messages on that Emio Greco is the only candidate left to become Frédéric Flamand's successor at the CCN Ballet National de Marseille. However, the culture minister has yet to confirm the appointment, ICKamsterdam reported.
There is a real battle going on around Flamand's succession, as described in Le Nouvel Observateur. Other candidates were José Montalvo, Richard Siegal and Marguerite Donlon.
Emio Greco and Pieter Scholten are artistic directors of the Amsterdam-based International Choreographic Arts Centre, ICKamsterdam, whose structure and principles are inspired by the French structure of 'Centres Choreographiques‘.
[Tweet "The Netherlands has long struggled to retain international talent"]If the appointment goes through, it will raise questions in Amsterdam, where Greco and Scholten head the Amsterdam city company. Can two such tough jobs be combined? At the same time, it is clear that Amsterdam and the Netherlands have long struggled to retain choreographers with some track record.

Gabriel Smeets recently left for Sweden, Bettina Masuch returned tiredly to Germany (although she kept something of a programmer job), Anouk van Dijk left for Australia, Nanine Linning for Germany, etc. It is more difficult to point out who all did not come to the Netherlands because of the poor financial situation. Even more difficult is to point out who could have broken through in the Netherlands but is now doing so elsewhere.
"At the same time, it is clear that Amsterdam and the Netherlands have long struggled to retain choreographers with some track record.".....and then the story ended. Explanations, examples?
