Camille Andriot

After completing her dance training, Camille Androit danced for two seasons at Introdans in Arnhem, the Netherlands, under the artistic direction of Ton Wiggers and Roel Voorintholt. In 2004, she began her almost two-decade-long collaboration with choreographer Martin Schläpfer at the Mainz State Theater Ballet, which she followed to Düsseldorf in 2009 to continue her career at Ballett am Rhein. In addition to numerous roles that Martin Schläpfer created especially for her, including Odile in his version of “Swan Lake” and solos in “Ein Deutsches Requiem”, she has performed in works by George Balanchine, Hans van Manen, Maurice Béjart, Nacho Duato, William Forsythe, Jiří Kylián, Mats Ek, Regina van Berkel, Christopher Bruce, Nils Christe, Martha Graham, Merce Cunningham, Kurt Jooss, Amanda Miller, Jerome Robbins, Twyla Tharp, Marco Goecke, Paul Taylor, Ohad Naharin, Terence Kohler and Natalia Horecna. She had great success with her interpretation of Frederick Ashton's solo in “Five Brahms Waltzes in the Manner of Isadora Duncan”, a choreography that she also staged for the Royal Ballet in London in 2014 in close collaboration with Lynn Seymour. Since the 2023/24 season, she worked as ballet mistress at the Badisches Staatstheater Karlsruhe, where she has worked on the new creation “Der Mädchen & Der Nussknacker” by Bridget Breiner, “Giselle” by David Dawson and works by Hans van Manen and Mthuthuzeli Novemver, among others. Under the direction of Bridget Breiner and Raphaël Coumes-Marquet, she returned to Ballett am Rhein as ballet mistress in 2024/25.
