Joyce Theater Dance Talk: NDT 2 with Deborah Jowitt

Deborah Jowitt will lead this Dance Talk focusing on the company’s history and its legacy. Jiří Kylián created Nederlands Dance Theater 2 in 1978 as a springboard for training young dancers who might one day “graduate” into the parent company. The dancers in NDT2 are young; they range from seventeen-year-olds to ones who have reached twenty-two. But the ensemble of eighteen who will perform at The Joyce grew up fast, learning works by major choreographers who treated them like the mature performers that they are in terms of the many years of training they sweated through.

Dance Talk will be held at DANY Studios, 305 West 38th Street, New York, NY 10018.
