Nymphs is the Contemporary dance initiative by choreographer Niek Wagenaar
CURRENTLY TOURING
Sabbath …
… is an ode to the outsider, a celebration of queerness and the power of witchcraft. In this dance performance, choreographer Niek Wagenaar and his dance company Nymphs revise the traditional image of the witch. The witch is no longer a figure of fear and exclusion, but a symbol of empowerment, resistance and self-discovery. This full evening premiered in May 2025 at Karavaan Festival and is still on tour.
“Sabbath by choreographer Niek Wagenaar is like a witchcraft ritual. The rite in the Amsterdamse Bostheater is not so much frightening as it is enchanting and inviting.”

Goodbye Garden…
… is a brand new short work for the students of Codarts University of the Arts in Rotterdam. Inspired by the symbolic meaning of the Lovers card in the mystical tarot deck, Goodbye Garden delves into the tensions between love and hate, trust and deceit, unity and selfishness. This work will tour in 2026 throughout The Netherlands and abroad as part of the Talent On The Move Tour with Codarts Dance Company.
