SIX dancers from the Dutch National Ballet headed out into the empty streets of Amsterdam this week to perform their parts in a piece of choreography inspired by the coronavirus lockdown.

Each put on a solo performance out in the open, some in front of landmarks including the Amstel Hotel and the Eye Filmmuseum.

Footage of each piece will be edited together into a film titled “Gently Quiet” that will be streamed online by early May, the National Ballet said.

“This is our way of bringing a poetic production, despite not being able to work together in our studio or to perform in front of an audience,” National Ballet spokesman Richard Heideman said.
