SNDO graduations works

Eleven graduating artists from SNDO (School for New Dance Development) travel from Amsterdam to Berlin to present the culmination of four years of intensive choreographic research and practice. Spread across two evenings, their works mark a professional debut: not a student project, but a confident entry into the world of contemporary dance and performance.

The eleven artists are Hayden Bouvet, Yooha Cheon, Marta Crespo, Anllel Maria, A.E.Z Pinay, REYER, Rafael Gabryelle Reinata Ferreira, Xiao Chuyue, Thalia Stone, Elias Klark and Doğa Ak.

At SNDO, students complete their studies by developing two independent works, writing a thesis, and completing a professional internship. Presenting these works in venues outside the school, before a real audience, on professional stages, is central to the school's philosophy. This evening is exactly that.

Founded in 1975 in Amsterdam, SNDO offers a four-year bachelor's programme in choreography. The school emerged to explore new directions in dance beyond the dominant forms of its time, and after nearly fifty years remains curious, open, and at the forefront of progressive developments in dance and performance. The curriculum centres on artistic freedom, critical reflection, and deep engagement with the body as a site of artistic, political and ethical research.

The works you will experience across these two evenings are as diverse as the artists who created them. We look forward to having you with us!
