The dancers of NDT 1 and NDT 2 organize a unique programme every year: Switch. An evening entirely composed by the dancers, of which the entire revenue will be donated to a charity fund chosen by them. The performance is filled with new choreographies created by the dancers. In addition to the artistic content, the production, fundraising and marketing efforts are also the dancers’ responsibilities.
Performances cancelled
On November 26, the Dutch government held a press conference in which new measures were announced to combat the spread of the coronavirus. It was announced that all sectors (including the culture sector) must close their doors from 5 PM to 5 AM from November 28 to December 18. This means that we are forced to cancel our performances until December 18.
Mist
Damien Jalet’s debut creation, Mist, for NDT 1 could not take place in the 2019-2020 season due to the corona crisis. In the 2020-2021 season, the performances of Mist in Dutch theaters were canceled again due to the corona measures. Therefore, it was decided to make a beautiful film of Damien Jalet’s creation, filmed by Rahi Rezvani. With the film screenings via ndt.nl, his world premiere will finally become reality in January 2022.
