Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | Nederlands Dans Theater | NDT 1

Wildsong presents a refreshing take on contemporary movement rooted in classical technique while revisiting a recent conceptual work of much acclaim, both performed by artists at the peak of their physical prowess.

A triumphant evening showcasing the breadth and depth of NDT’s artistic intellect, and their dazzling versatility across various choreographic landscapes.

An extraordinary evening of dance theatre of the highest quality, Figures in Extinction for Nederlands Dans Theater 1 is a thought provoking experience worth repeating.

An evening focused on the separation of humanity from the natural world and the destruction of that world, either because of ignorance, greed or just not caring.

NDT delivered, yet the triple-bill program never elevated itself beyond atmosphere and gimmicks.

NDT1 returns to London with an eclectic and absorbing programme of old and new. 

Nederlands Dans Theater 1’s new triple bill premieres Imre Van Opstal and Marne Van Opstal's Take Root alongside works by Sharon Eyal, Gai Behar and Crystal Pite. 

Everything Pite choreographs turns to gold and when Young is also involved it’s an especially rich vein.

Shut Eye (Lightfoot & León) is like an alternating current. Woke Up Blind (Goecke) is entertaining and vulnerable. Pite's work hits the rythmic nail on the head. You want to freeze-frame Pite's dancers, snap a picture and hang it on the wall.

Dreamlike storytelling in a virtuoso dance-scape.

NDT's main company is back in Berlin, at the House of the Berliner Festspiele, with works by four aces of contemporary choreography. More classically abstract works are successfully paired with ones for the digital-literate.

A held back season opener for NDT, in which pure dance takes centre stage.

It's all there; the virtuoso dancing, brilliant live Philip Glass music, mysteriously connected couples whirled into a subtle feeling of expansion. If your brain lacks a much needed moral and creative boost this is your December pick-me-up.

This was a terrific performance by a world class troupe of dancers.

The house was packed to the rafters at Montreal's Theatre Maisonneuve last Tuesday; it seemed the entire city turned out to witness Nederlands Dans Theater make its return after a twenty year absence.

NDT present a double bill of works by Leon/Lightfoot and Hofesh Shechter. Virtuoso dancing in Shut Eye whilst Shechter doesn't pull punches with political Clowns: there are so many ways to die on stage this night....  

Nederlands Dans Theater celebrates 25 years of Lightfoot and Leon, with the strongly executed emotional double bill Sehnsucht / Schmetterling.

NDT 1 Dances Schechter's groovy assaults to the senses, Uprising and In Your Rooms, from a call to uprising to a search for political engagement.

Netherlands Dance Theatre present Kylián's Heart's Labyrinth, Goecke's Hello Earth and new work by Lightfoot and Leon, Stop-Motion, in Programme III at Stadsschouwburg, Utrecht.

An unmissable Christmas mass from awe-inspiring dancers of Nederlands Dance Theatre. Lambrecht Wessels reviews at Lucent Danstheater, Den Hague.

The curtain went up at Berkeley’s Zellerbach Hall last night on Nederlands Dans Theater in Sehnsucht and Schmetterling (“Homesickness” and “Butterfly,” in German) and the pleasure of seeing these magnificent dancers was heavily diluted by the machine-gun-like choreography and leaden attempts at humor. Beethoven’s ecstatic Symphony no.

Nederlands Dans Theater is in town, the excitement is palpable in the air for what is their first engagement in New York in nearly a decade, and NDT’s resident choreographers Sol León and Paul Lightfoot are on hand to provide an evening-length concert by combining two shorter works, Sehnsucht and Schmetterling, both of which were originally presented in 2010.

Fruit d'un travail entre la chorégraphe canadienne Crystal Pite et le metteur en scène britannique Simon McBurney, Figures in Extinction est un succès incontestable, porté par une compagnie au sommet de son art.

Avec Solo Echo de Crystal Pite et Ties Unseen de Christos Papadopoulos, le Nederlands Dans Theater 1 a présenté deux œuvres qui travaillent la notion de nuance avec une véritable puissance visuelle.

Zwei Premieren von Marcos Morau und Yoann & Marie Bourgeois sowie Crytal Pites Paradestück Solo Echo sorgen für einen elektrisierenden Abend.

William Forsyth aktualisiert seinen Tanzabend am NDT. Den Stücken und ihrer Wirkung aufs Publikum haben sie im direkten Vergleich jedoch nicht gut getan.

La compagnie néerlandaise impressionne, maîtrisant à la perfection la technique exigeante et physique du chorégraphe chinois Tao Ye comme la subtile virtuosité de la pièce de Sharon Eyal et Gai Behar.

Tao Ye Choreographie 15 hat beim Premierenpublikum in Den Haag eingeschlagen wie eine Bombe. Und auch die anderen zwei Stücke überzeugen.

Ein ungemein intimer und enervierender Tanzabend wird zum krönenden Saisonabschluss.

Sharon Eyal und Gai Behars neue Choreographie, Jakie, sprengt den Rahmen eines herkömmlichen Tanzabends.

Marco Goeckes erstes abendfüllende Werk für das NDT 1 ist ein leidenschaftlicher Tanzabend.

Die jungen Tänzerinnen und Tänzer zeigen ihr choreographisches Talent in kleinen Balletten.

Zum Saisonauftakt bietet das Niederländische Tanztheater einen spektakulären Premierenabend.

Drei ereignisreiche Uraufführungen von Gabriela Carrizo, Crystal Pite und Roy Assaf lassen die Zuschauer so schnell nicht mehr los.

Mit Traces left within gelingt es dem NDT in drei außergewöhnlichen Choreographien eine ebenso verstörende wie glücklicherweise auch versöhnliche Deutung unserer Gegenwart und Zukunft.

Das Nederlands Dans Theater zeigt einen atemberaubenden Triple-Nachmittag mit Choreographien von William Forsythe. 

Le Nederlands Dans Theater est de retour au Palais de Chaillot avec une programmation associant une création récente de la chorégraphe canadienne Crystal Pite et deux pièces de Sol León et Paul Lightfoot, chorégraphes en résidence et co-directeurs artistiques du NDT depuis 2011.

La selección exquisita de su repertorio junto la extraordinaria calidad de sus bailarines hacen del binomio una de las agrupaciones danzarias mejores del mundo. Sin embargo, hasta el Sol tiene manchas

Après une longue absence des scènes parisiennes, le Nederlands Dans Theater est de retour au Théâtre de Chaillot pour nous présenter l’un des spectacles les plus subtils et bouleversants de la saison 2013 – 2014, toutes salles confondues.
