Of Any If And
One Flat Thing, reproduced
William Forsythe galvanized the dance world and was catapulted into the international spotlight with his dynamic approach to the art form. After only a short run during the height of COVID-19, NDT felt it imperative to re-stage A Forsythe Evening that marks a revival of the company’s long relationship with the choreographer.
The works Of Any If And (1995), 12 N (2021) and One Flat Thing, reproduced (2000) are accompanied by music composed by Forsythe’s longtime collaborator Thom Willems.
To be seen in Thee Hague, Eindhoven, Amsterdam
Creations by NDT dancers
Every year, the dancers of NDT 1 and NDT 2 organise Switch: a unique programme entirely composed by the dancers, with all proceeds going to charity. Besides creating works, the dancers themselves are in charge of production, fundraising, marketing and communication.
