Zonder Den Haag, geen Neidâhlans Dans Theijatâh. Vanuit onze thuishaven in Den Haag reizen we al decennialang de hele wereld over met onze dansvoorstellingen. En we nemen ons Haagse hart altijd mee.
RESONANCE viert gedurfde, grensverleggende en iconische werken van gerenommeerde makers die we koesteren bij NDT. Mémoires d’Oubliettes (2009) van Jiří Kylián, The Statement (2016) van Crystal Pite en Woke up Blind (2016) van Marco Goecke.
In onze jaarlijkse NDT Summer Intensive nemen 60 jonge dansers van over de hele wereld deel aan een professionele training. Gedurende twee intensieve weken werken deze (pre-) professionals – van 16 t/m 25 jaar (X/V/M) – samen met onze dansers, repetitoren en choreografen. Zo krijgen ze de kans om als danser te groeien en hun persoonlijke ontwikkeling te verdiepen.

Did you know you can apply for a scholarship?
NDT seeks to reduce inequalities and access in dance education. Therefore, no dancer should feel deterred from applying to NDT Summer Intensive due to lack of financial means.
NDT Summer Intensive offers affordable accommodation at The Social Hub in The Hague, centrally located and just a short distance from our theatre. For more information about this housing option, please use the link below.
The two–week summer intensive is designed to offer (pre-)professional dancers a range of dance approaches and styles that aim to provide a thorough dance experience. Different elements of the course build upon the student’s technical base, as well as upon improvisation. Participants get to apply the learned principles in different components of the course whereby NDT repertoire, and the opportunity to create new work occurs.
Within the context of repertoire and new work, the participant simultaneously trains partnering, solo, group and compositional skills. Extracurricular activities of the course involve panel talks, artist exchanges and other activities designed to bring NDT staff, NDT dancers and the participants in closer contact. These activities also give peers the opportunity to form social and creative bonds that can last well after the intensive ends!
