Nederlands Dans Theater (NDT; literal translation, Netherlands Dance Theatre) is a Dutch contemporary dance company. NDT is headquartered at the Lucent Danstheater in The Hague. In addition to the Lucent Danstheater, NDT performs at other venues in the Netherlands, including Amsterdam's Het Muziektheater and Nijmegen's Stadsschouwburg.
NDT was founded in 1959 by Benjamin Harkarvy, Aart Verstegen and Carel Birnie together with a group of 18 members of the Dutch National Ballet (which was directed by Sonia Gaskell). Their intention was to break away from the more traditionally oriented Dutch National Ballet (Het Nederlands Ballet). NDT focused onto new ideas and experimentation with the exploration of new forms and techniques of dance.
In 1961 the Nederlands Dans Theater got subsidy from the city of The Hague and from the government. In the 1960s the NDTs repertoire comprised classical dance with a strong influence by American modern dance. The NDT got unprecedented recognition and success with the guidance of different persons like Hans van Manen and Jiří Kylián as artistic directors. In the first years of the 1970s there was no clear policy because of various conflicts within the board of the NDT. That changed when in 1975 Jirí Kylian entered the board as artistic leader.
Jiří Kylián (born 21 March 1947) is a Czech former dancer and contemporary dance choreographer.
Initially inspired the acrobatic performances of the Circus Busch, Kylián decided to pursue professional ballet training at the “School of the National Ballet Prague” at the age of 9, after having seen a ballet performance for the first time. Kylián was admitted to the Prague conservatory in 1962. Here he encountered one of his mentors, teacher and former dancer Zora Semberova, “who left a deep mark in Jiří's professional development”. At the conservatory Kylián made his first steps as a choreographer with “Nine eighth's”, choreographed to jazz music, and “Quartet”, to music by Béla Bártok. In 1967 Kylián received a scholarship to study at the Royal Ballet School in London. Among other artists, Kylián met choreographer John Cranko, who offered him to join the Stuttgart Ballet.
He joined the Stuttgart Ballet in 1968 and worked under John Cranko, where he began to work as a choreographer. At Stuttgart Ballet Kylián started choreographing with “Paradox” (1970), “Kommen und Gehren” (1970), and continued in the Stuttgart Ballet's Noverre Kompanie with “Incantations” (1971), “Einzelgänger” (1972) and “Blaue Haut” (1974), among others.
Theatre or theater is a collaborative form of fine art that uses live performers to present the experience of a real or imagined event before a live audience in a specific place, often a stage. The performers may communicate this experience to the audience through combinations of gesture, speech, song, music, and dance. Elements of art and stagecraft are used to enhance the physicality, presence and immediacy of the experience. The specific place of the performance is also named by the word "theatre" as derived from the Ancient Greek θέατρον (théatron, "a place for viewing"), itself from θεάομαι (theáomai, "to see", "to watch", "to observe").
Modern Western theatre comes, in large measure, from ancient Greek drama, from which it borrows technical terminology, classification into genres, and many of its themes, stock characters, and plot elements. Theatre artist Patrice Pavis defines theatricality, theatrical language, stage writing, and the specificity of theatre as synonymous expressions that differentiate theatre from the other performing arts, literature, and the arts in general.

Das Nederlands Dans Theater II wurde 1978 mit der Idee gegründet, auf höchstem Niveau den künstlerischen Nachwuchs des NDT I auszubilden. Im Laufe seines mehr als 30-jährigen Bestehens hat es sich zu einer weltweit beachteten Compagnie entwickelt, die sich jährlich mit zwei Programmen auf den internationalen Bühnen, von Norwegen bis Neuseeland, von den USA bis Süd-Korea und von den niederländischen Antillen bis Russland präsentiert. Die 16 klassisch ausgebildeten Tänzer sind zwischen 17 und 22 Jahre alt und werden aus den weltbesten Nachwuchstalenten ausgewählt. Die Vielseitigkeit ihres Repertoires beruht auf der Arbeit mit renommierten Choreografen wie Jir¡í Kylián, Hans van Manen, Ohad Naharin, Lightfoot/León und Johan Inger.

Aufnahmen im Rahmen der Movimentos Festwochen 2017 vom 27. April aus dem Kraftwerk in Wolfsburg. Das Nederlands Dans Theater 1 (NDT 1) wurde 1959 in Den Haag gegründet und gehört seither mit mehr als 600 Choreografien zu den Vorreitern des zeitgenössischen Tanzes. Besonders geschätzt wird das Ensemble für seine innovativen Choreografien, in denen sich klassische Techniken mit experimentellen Formen des Tanzes vereinen. Kaum eine andere Company hat sich in dieser Kontinuität so konsequent und erfolgreich der Erneuerung des Tanzes gewidmet. Sicher am prägendsten war für die Entwicklung des Ensembles der Choreograf Jirí Kylián: Sein energischer, surreal-abstrakter Stil, der Elemente aus alten Tanztraditionen mit zeitgenössischen Elementen aus Musik und gestaltender Kunst kombiniert, wurde ch...

Click to buy/rent Jiri Kylian's Black and White Ballets: http://geni.us/ttvituneslp Falling Angels is featured in the dance program Jiri Kylian's Black and White Ballets, available at http://geni.us/NDTKylian. Falling Angels was premiered by Nederlands Dans Theater in 1989. From http://www.jirikylian.com: Falling Angels is a work for eight women. It was conceived as a somewhat light-hearted homage to female performers. Although the music by Steve Reich creates a very strict structure, at the same time it leaves much freedom for choreographic and emotional interpretation. Choreographically, this piece is a study of the two most opposing properties of any art work: discipline and freedom. To try and let these two contradicting elements coexist side by side, seemed to me an interesting und...

Хореография: Иржи Килиан (Jiri Kylian) Исполнители: Нидерладский театр танца (The Nederlands Dans Theater) Музыка: М. Исии, 2001 г. У каждого народа есть свои легенды и предания. В основу сюжета положена старинная японская сказка "Принцесса Луны, или История Такетори".Через образ Кагуя, принцессы Луны, выражается дух японского религиозного сознания - поклонение природе и национальное вероисповедание, которое в корне отличается от западной религиозной культуры. Ключевые моменты сюжета - это сватовство знатных женихов к Кагуя, обожествление Принцессы и ее желание жить на Земле, а затем возвращение на Луну.
