GRIP

Last night. Jan Martens had the pleasure of meeting Her Royal Highness Princess Beatrix on the occasion of the world premiere of 'KID IN A CANDY SHOP', his creation for Nederlands Dans Theater.

Today both De Volkskrant and NRC published four star reviews. 🎉 ★★★★

Looking forward to Femke Gyselinck's new project in 2026 - with brother Lander Gyselinck: ‘Figures of Speech’.

They once created a duet – the 2016 show ‘Flamer’ – within which they reversed roles: with Femke as drummer and Lander as dancer. This time they invite seven dancers and four musicians on stage and they each set the rhythm for their own discipline.
