Mila Schmidt

Career Trajectory

Trained rigorously at Vienna's State Opera Ballet School, Mila Schmidt joined the Wiener Staatsballett in 2010 as a company dancer, bringing classical technique grounded in the Cecchetti tradition. Her artistic identity was shaped by intensive contemporary study—including work with José Agudo and Ismael Ivo at ImPulsTanz—positioning her as a versatile performer equally comfortable in classical and contemporary idioms. Since her professional debut, she has expanded her practice into musical theatre and straight drama, reflecting the polymathic demands of twenty-first-century dance performance.
