Matrix x National Ballet

We like operating at the intersection of culture and commerce so this project really hit the spot. In a film shot and directed by Daan Kouijzer, the prestigious Dutch National Ballet reveal the real world of professional dancers on and off stage. The highly talented, new-generation dancers assembled in the Junior Company and the way Matrix Fitness help them maintain their physical wellbeing take centre stage. It’s a riveting tale, produced by Tante Tini. Matthijs remixed a Tchaikovsky ballet classic for the soundtrack, worked on the film’s sound design and completed the final mix.

It was a pleasure to work with Tante Tini, and a big thanks to Daan for initiating this collaboration!

If you’re as intrigued as we are, don’t miss this short documentary where we did the sound design and mix.
