The world’s premier contemporary ballet company
Netherlands Dance Theater (NDT) 1
Long-awaited tour to Japan in June-July 2024 for the first time in 5 years
Five choreographers’ works to be seen now in Gunma, Kanagawa and Aichi

In 2024, Dance Base Yokohama and Aichi Arts Theatre will co-invite Netherland Dance Theatre for the first time in five years since the last time, and hold a three-city tour in Japan in collaboration with Takasaki Arts Theatre and Kanagawa Kenmin Hall. For the invited performances, three programs from five choreographers’ works will be presented in a triple bill format, one for each performance.

In this tour, NDT1’s strong and richly physical dancers will dance a full range of works by choreographers familiar to Japanese audiences, including two introduced in 2019, as well as works by choreographers newly introduced this year.

This season, NDT1 has three Japanese dancers: Enka Kariya, Yukino Takaura, and Chumu Fukushi, who were also in NDT2 at the previous performance.

The productions and details will be announced around December 2023. Please stay tuned.
