New English Ballet Theatre

New English Ballet Theatre (NEBT) is a dynamic professional ballet company dedicated to producing new commissions that represent the versatility and significance of ballet today.

We promote the early career development of talented dancers, choreographers, and designers. NEBT has gained respect and recognition for its commitment to furthering outstanding talent and for its visionary, holistic approach to ballet making. To date, NEBT has produced ten critically acclaimed West End shows, performing at over thirty venues in the UK, including prestigious theatres like the Royal Opera House and Sadler’s Wells.

NEBT was founded in 2010 by Artistic Director Karen Pilkington-Miksa as a creative platform for emerging ballet dancers and choreographers and as a reaction to a perceived lack of early-stage career opportunities in the dance sector.

“New English Ballet Theatre is … packed with burgeoning talent, diverse offerings and plenty of pluck.” – Dancetabs

The company’s initial aim was to develop young talent in dance, music and design by providing high quality performance experiences in a nurturing, collaborative company setting.

Now in its second decade, NEBT is entering a new phase in response to a changing dance landscape. We have evolved from an early-career platform into a company dedicated to developing choreographers, presenting new work and creating exceptional dance experiences for the widest possible audience.

With the encouragement of our world-class Artistic Patrons, NEBT is committed to supporting the next generation of creatives and developing the artistry of exceptional talent at all career stages. Since its foundation, the company has commissioned and produced 34 original ballets, showcased 25 emerging choreographers, 31 artists and designers, 86 musicians/singers, and furthered the careers of 120 dancers.

We commission world-class choreographers, some of whom are or were dancers with renowned companies such as The Royal Ballet, Dutch National Ballet and Birmingham Royal Ballet.
