All nb initiatives are deeply grounded in the desire to create conditions for exchange and reflection within an artistic practice that naturally goes beyond the borders of constructed disciplines. Whatever the discipline, the main motivation lies on the desire to articulate thinking and questioning, to articulate the instability of a rational logic. It is strongly motivated by the desire to work against ideologies and by the desire to create space and the conditions for encounters. That motivation leads to performance projects, installations, books, to various forms of collaboration, as well as to the curating of conferences, lectures and festivals.

nb is the new association of choregrapher and curator Nicole Beutler, created with the support of producer Josta Obbink and manager Janine Dijkmeijer.

nb recieves structural funding by NFPK+ Netherlands
