NDT is a leading contemporary dance company that profiles itself through creation, research and talent development. Since it was founded in 1959 by Benjamin Harkarvy, Aart Verstegen and Carel Birnie in collaboration with eighteen dancers from the Dutch National Ballet (then called The Dutch Ballet), NDT has sought to carve its own path in the modern dance field. In doing so, Glen Tetley and Hans van Manen have left a prominent and avant-garde mark on NDT's artistic face. Their non-conformist, progressive productions put the company on the map nationally and internationally.
Since then, the company has built up a rich repertoire of over 600 ballets by choreographers Jiří Kylián and Hans van Manen, Sol León & Paul Lightfoot, Crystal Pite and Marco Goecke, Johan Inger, Medhi Walerski, Ohad Naharin, Alexander Ekman, Gabriela Carrizo, Franck Chartier, Hofesh Shechter, Edward Clug and Sharon Eyal & Gai Behar and many others.
The company is led by artistic director Emily Molnar and business director Marc Pil.
