Choreographer: Sol León & Paul Lightfoot

Sol León and Paul Lightfoot created 'Studio 2' to mark the company’s 50th anniversary in 2009. The piece was created partly as a tribute to the rehearsal space where both choreographers had been working for twenty of those fifty years on a body of work that at the time numbered over forty choreographies. On the musical piece ‘Tabula Rasa’, which was also used for Ohad Naharin’s first choreography, ‘Studio 2’ is an ode to NDT’s significant oeuvre and where this cultural heritage is created. In León and Lightfoot’s view, it could just be that the true history of the soul of NDT is permeated in the dance floor, walls and mirrors of this rehearsal room.
