This year Young Talent Project, a unique collaboration between Royal Conservatoire Dance (KC) and Nederlands Dans Theater (NDT), experienced its eleventh edition.
Young Talent Project is a twofold talent development project. On the one hand, the project gives young dance students the chance to come into contact with NDT’s working methods and to develop their talent as a versatile dancer during the project. On the other hand, the project offers (former) NDT dancers the opportunity to gain experience as teachers, rehearsal directors or choreographers within a professional dance school.
Young Talent Project goes beyond just learning NDT repertoire; for three months, students are taken through the process of creating choreography at NDT every day.
