ND 2018

The Dutch Dance Festival is growing and renewing itself. We’re now celebrating Dutch dance for the first time with a five-day program. The festival is also taking a new direction.  

By choosing to co-produce and present new work, we want to offer both established and new makers a renowned platform on which they can present their work to a broad audience. Next to this, this year the festival will also launch some brand-new projects, like BLOEDBANDEN, in collaboration with Leeuwarden - European Capital of Culture 2018 - and the Friesian Dance Days; Club Tweak, for the ultimate performance/dance experience in a club; and we are proud that Krisztina de Châtel will be creating an installation for the first time in her career and that it will be exhibited during the festival. Above all, not just the well-known dance companies in our country, but young talents will also be providing the Acte de Présence during the Dutch Dance Festival Celebration.
