Dancer and choreographer Jiří Kylián was born in 1947 in Prague - Czechoslovakia, to his father Václav, a banker and to his mother Markéta, a dancer-child protégée. At the age of 9, he became a student at the "School of the National Ballet Prague". 
In 1962 he became a student to the Prague Conservatory. His main teacher was Zora Šemberová
In 1967 he received a scholarship to the Royal Ballet School" in London.This scholarship was organized by Jennie Lee, the Arts Minister of UK at that time.
After his return to Czechoslovakia in August 1968, the invasion of the "Warsaw-Pact " forces began. The political movement known as “Prague spring” was crushed! He left for Germany where John Cranko offered him a contract, to become a member of his highly acclaimed "Stuttgart Ballett". 
There he made his first choreographies for professional dancers (Marcia Haydée, Richard Cragun....)
“Paradox”, “Kommen und Gehen”, “Incantations” and others....
After Cranco’s death in 1973 Glen Tetley became the new director of the company. In 1975 Kylian became the artistic director of the Netherlands Dance Theatre. Choreographies: Stoolgame, La Cathédrale Engloutie, Sinfonietta, Symphony of Psalms have followed. More than 90 choreographies have followed.
Many international tours have taken place: diverse places including the Prague National Theater, 
the Metropolitan Opera House, the Paris Opera or a Kibbutz Theater in Israel. NDT’s guest appearance in communist Czechoslovakia, in the "Prague Spring Festival" in 1980, was an important 
breakthrough of political dimension. In the early eighties, Kylián’s longtime interest in the culture 
of the Australian aboriginal people inspired the largest tribal gathering ever held in Australia.
In 1978 Carel Birnie and Jiří Kylián have decided to create a “Junior company” - NDT II. For this company he created works like ”27’52” or “Sleepless” or "Gods and Dogs”. At this time some of the most interesting creators produced their works on NDT: Young talented choreographers from around the world: William Forsythe, Mats Ek, Christopher Bruce, Ohad Naharin and many others.
Internationally recognized contemporary masters (Hans van Manen, Glen Tetley....).
The encouragement of creativity within the company's own ranks became very important:
Nacho Duato, Paul Lightfoot & Sol León, Patrick Delcroix, Johan Inger, Ed Wubbe Alexander Ekman, and many others.  
In 1990, that Kylián decided to create a small group for senior dancers NDT III. The world premiere of NDT III, the “Senior Company” was  created by Hans van Manen, Mats Ek, William Forsythe and Jiří Kylián. The original dancers were: Sabine Kupferberg, Alida Chase, 
Gérard Lemaitre and Niklas Ek.
In recent years Kylian shows interest in film and video - Together with Film Director Boris Paval Conen, he created films “Car-Men” and “Between Entrance and Exit”.
