The project is concerned with the history and future of the Nederlands Dance Theatre, in the context of its recent demolition of the Lucent Danstheater, to make place for the building of a new cultural centre. I propose to add a new element to the NDT, a danceschool, which fills a gap in the educational development (between the age of 11 and 17) and program of the company. This new element will be housed in a new building, which will become part of the new identity of NDT. The building is located at Spaarneplein, in the middle of the Rivierenbuurt (a disadvanged neighbourhood) of The Hague. The chosen location is within walking distance of the (future) Education and Cultural Centre at the Spuiplein, but also brings a social and political agenda with it.
