After this first experience abroad, from 2010/11, Spota will become part of the Hessisches Staatstheater Wiesbaden under the artistic direction of Stephan Thoss.
Four years of an extensive exchange with Thoss will begin a deep interest in choreography, debuting 2 great works at the Staatstheater Wiesbaden and receiving commissions that will become part of the repertoire of the company.

In 2012, he was awarded as “Emerging Italian Talent abroad”, by a jury composed by reviewers of Dance Magazines like Dance for you (Germany), Dance Europe (England) and Dance Dance (Italia), receiving critics such as:
