About us

NICOLE BEUTLER PROJECTS

Nicole Beutler Projects realises performances and curated events initiated by the choreographer, theatre director and artistic director Nicole Beutler. We make interdisciplinary work where music plays a big role for both large and small venues in the Netherlands and beyond.

Our projects are driven by the desire for a potentially better society. All Nicole Beutler’s activities are an invitation to connect and to reflect critically on the human existence. “It is my responsibility as an artist to open new spaces in our thinking, both societally and artistically. Together we can change the world.”

Nicole Beutler Projects also works to promote a healthy, flourishing and diverse ecosystem for innovative dance and performance by supporting new makers and initiating activities to strengthen the scene.

We approach our work from a philosophy of non-hierarchical cooperation, slow production, long-term vision, and concern for the whole person and the planet. Quality, care and attention are the core values on which Nicole Beutler Projects founds a diverse and inclusive company.
 

NICOLE BEUTLER

Nicole Beutler (born Munich, 1969) has a background in the visual arts and German literature, and studied choreography at the School for New Dance Development (SNDO) in Amsterdam. Over the past twenty years, Beutler has made her mark on the Dutch performing arts with her unique approach combining performance, dance, fine art and music theatre. After the two collectives  The Liminal Institute and LISA, since 2009 she is the artistic director of her company, Nicole Beutler Projects. Next to numerous nominations her work has received several awards including the Dioraphte Prize (2014), twice the VSCD Mime Prize (2009 & 2020/21) from the dutch union of city theatres and in 2021 she received the award from MusicTheatreNOW. In 2018, Beutler was awarded the generous Gieskes-Strijbis Podiumprijs for her diverse oeuvre. 2021-2024 she is artist in residence at O. Festival for Opera. Music. Theatre in Rotterdam.

In the course of her career, Beutler has related the body and a wide variety of dance forms to opera, urban arts, live and recorded music, text-based theatre, puppetry and visual art. As an artist, she thinks beyond genre and makes theatre as a Gesamtkunstwerk; the form and content of every element – movement, word, space, light, sound, costume – are carefully composed in relation to the concept of each work. With her curious gaze, Beutler constantly incorporates new influences into her work and thus continuously stretches the boundaries of what constitutes dance/performance/ music theatre. Her works are based on universal, topical themes that concern us all. Beutler’s mission is to translate the human condition into a visual language that gives the audience space to reflect. Since 2018 Beutler focusses with her work mainly on the relation of humankind to the planet in times of the climate crisis. She is the mother of one child.
