NDT public programme reopening in 2023

21 December 2022

Last week, NDT's Intervention 01 was nominated for the 2023 Stage Award for Innovation, recognising the significance of our decision to suspend public programming and undertake a period of full artistic reset.

Today, we're pleased to release a statement on our next steps:

'This summer, New Diorama stopped to rethink.

Intervention 01 saw us pause all public performances indefinitely for a period of reflection and artistic renewal. Since July we’ve received over 500 approaches and engaged in hundreds of invigorating conversations with artists about new ideas and the future of theatre.

This has been the most rejuvenating time for us. The diverse cohort of creatives we’re currently working with represent some of the most exciting artists from across the country, the majority of whom we’ve never commissioned before.

It’s now time to re-open our doors. So, while the projects from Intervention 01 simmer away in development across the next year, in January we’ll announce a selection of new work for Spring 2023. A programme not directly drawn from the Intervention 01 cohort, but a statement of intent for the future.

Alongside this transition season we’ll also introduce a number of game-changing new interventions to set a new standard for commissioning and supporting independent theatre-makers post-lockdowns.

Join us in the first week of January for a full programme announcement, for optimism in dark times, and for some new ideas to take us all forward.'
