Born on July 11, 1932, Hans van Manen is one of the most eminent Dutch ballet dancers and choreographers. In 1960 he founded the Nederlands Dans Theater and was its art director from 1961 until 1970. From 1974 until 1987 he worked for the Dutch National Ballet. He was awarded the Deutschen Tanzpreis in 1993, the Erasmus Prize in 2000 and in 2004 the Musikpreis der Stadt Duisburg. To date, he has choreographed more than ninety works. All of the six masterpieces included on this DVD were written within two years of each other, June 1995 and 1997, and were later produced by NPS television. A recent review for 'Two Pieces for HET' in the Edinburgh festival guide described van Manan as a \master choreographer" and the ballet itself as "exquisite"."
