Nederlands Dans Theate to dance night away at Nottingham's Royal Concert Hall

With their winning combination of fresh exuberance and astonishing athleticism, the 18 outstanding young dancers of NDT 2, the second company of Nederlands Dans Theater (NDT), are back in the UK and Ireland for the first time since 2016.

The group will be at Nottingham’s Royal Concert Hall tomorrow and Saturday night performing works by celebrated international choreographers Marco Goecke (Germany) Hans van Manen (The Netherlands) and Johan Inger (Sweden).

Associate choreographer at Nederlands Dans Theater since 2013, Marco Goecke has made his fourth work for NDT 2, The Big Crying, which has its UK and Ireland premiere on this tour.

It is a personal and moving piece about the fragility of life and love where Goecke harnesses the fiery power of the full company to deliver a real celebration.

Hans van Manen has been involved with NDT since 1959, first as a dancer and later as artistic director.
