Innovation and Creativity

If anything, NDT is known for shifting the boundaries of contemporary dance by working in a spectrum of creativity. The company’s repertoire is colorful and inexhaustible in both its talent and innovation that is often rooted in the principles of classical ballet. With eight to ten world premieres per season NDT is in the center of innovation. NDT is one of few production houses globally that offers the stage and the opportunity to many external choreographers to create work with a virtuoso dance company. It is therefore not surprising that international, award-winning Crystal Pite, Hofesh Shechter as well as Marco Goecke are regular guests at NDT next to Ohad Naharin, Sharon Eyal and Gai Behar, Alexander Ekman and Gabriella Carrizo & Franck Chartier among others. Their presence leads to creative cross-pollination of world class and unforgettable ballets.
