Brand-new work from choreographic talents
NDT and Korzo invite three leading choreographers for an intense, short creative process where everything is at stake. At Here We Live and Now, you can witness Lea Ved, Fay van Baar, and Tú Hoàng transcending themselves.
What to expect:
-
In WOLF, Fay van Baar creates a space where the Wild Woman can exist—a space often missing in modern society.
-
Lea Ved presents a duet stripped down to its essence: two bodies, one space, and a silent world unfolding.
-
Tú Hoàng explores how identity emerges between cultures, inspired by traditional Vietnamese dance.
Collaboration with Nederlands Dans Theater
Here we live and now is the moment to meet new makers from the dance scene. Every year, Korzo and Nederlands Dans Theater (NDT) invite three makers to create within a short creation process a short performance.
Makers
Lea Ved
Lea Ved (1991) is a dancer, choreographer, a Korzo artist-in-residence and originally from the United States. She danced for many years with the Royal Swedish Ballet and Nederlands Dans Theater and has previously created work for Korzo and CaDance Festival amongst others. Lea's work is playful and intuitive. For this performance, she is collaborating with her former colleague Spencer Dickhaus, also a dancer who has worked with NDT.
Tú Hoàng
Tú Hoàng (1988) is a choreographer and dancer from Hanoi, Vietnam, and also a Korzo artist-in-residence. In his choreographies, Tú attempts to blend his Eastern background in Kung Fu and Tai Chi with Western dance genres such as hip hop, ballet, and contemporary dance. His goalis to bring a unique artistic identity to life. In this HWLAN performance, his Vietnamese roots are given free rein to breathe with an entirely Vietnamese team.
Fay van Baar
Fay van Baar (1995) danced with NDT from 2015 to 2024 and has worked with many world-renowned choreographers such as Paul Lightfoot, Sol León, Jiří Kylián, and Sharon Eyal. She has created work for the Young Talent Program, Switch, Mir Tanzgala, Rise Dance Festival in Seoul, and Loris Petrillo’s SPECIFIC Dance Program. Fay’s ideas arise from research, intuitive experimentation, and inspiration drawn from history, mythology, and social structures and behavior.
