Nederlands Dans Theater Summer Intensive 2013

Because the deadline of 1 May has passed, it is no longer possible to register voor Nederlands Dans Theater Summer Intensive

Program
‘Nederlands Dans Theater Summer Intensive’ is a unique experience which takes place in the atmosphere and surroundings of our company’s home. In our studios you will take part in an intensive training program comprised of our company repertoire, workshops new composition and classes, focused on dance techniques. We offer a professional training program aimed at developing yourself as a versatile contemporary dancer, which will be overseen by our international artistic team of choreographers and teachers. The repertoire of NDT’s resident and associate choreographers form the basis of this two weeks course. This will be combined with your participation in the creation of a new work by one of our upcoming NDT-affiliated choreographers. The program is completed with ballet classes, Ohad Naharin’s Gaga technique classes and improvisation workshops, creating a structure very similar to the training of our dancers. In this edition we will be focusing on the repertoire by Paul Lightfoot & Sol León, Jiří Kylián and Crystal Pite. Ultimately this will be an exclusive opportunity for a select group of dancers to experience the knowledge, inspiration and passion of our artistic team as well as working side by side with our dancers. 

To create an even more complete experience, ‘Nederlands Dans Theater Summer Intensive’ also offers a special auxiliary program including master classes and various discussion topics. All extra activities are related to NDT and its history within the field of contemporary dance. This additional aspect of our program will provide you with more in-depth knowledge and, we are certain, will challenge you to further investigate the many layers and perceptions of contemporary dance.

Scholarship 
NDT offers Scholarships for young talented dancers who need help to finance their participation in the Summer Intensive. To fund these scholarships, Nederlands Dans Theater works together with sponsors and guest families who generously offer to help with funding or who open their home to accommodate participants during the course.       

Unfortunately, we can only offer a limited amount of scholarships! Therefore, if your participation in the course depends on the extra funding, we highly recommend you to also apply for a scholarship elsewhere. We are happy to help you with the application and will offer all the information you need.  

A scholarship from NDT funds (part of) the course fee and/or offers housing in a guest home. The scholarships will be selected by a committee made up of members of the artistic staff of our company. The applications will be judged on talent and financial need. Only participants who fulfill both criteria will be considered for a scholarship.         

To apply for a scholarship, you need to inform us on your online registration form and supply us with information about your personal connection to NDT, why you want to participate in our Summer Intensive and what your future vision is. We also need to know more about your financial situation. For more information about how to apply for a Scholarship, please read the Audition Procedure.
