9 | '''Ivo van Hove''' (born 1958) is a Belgian theatre director, known for bringing Avant Garde and experimental approaches to mainstream Broadway and Off-Broadway shows. |
10 | |
11 | Born in Heist-op-den-Berg, he started out directing his own plays in his native Belgium in the 80s, eventually serving as artistic director of companies such as KT, Akt-Vertical, De Tijd, and eventually Toneelgroep Amsterdam, the largest repertory company in The Netherlands, a role he continues to serve to this day. |
12 | |
13 | He also regularly directs shows in New York City and London, such as ''Theatre/ScenesFromAMarriage'' and ''Theatre/TheLittleFoxes'' at the New York Theatre Workshop and a recent revival of ''Theatre/AViewFromTheBridge'' at the Old Vic. |
14 | |
15 | He has a very distinctive, sometimes divisive style that combines minimalist scenery with expressionist spectacle, sometimes utilizing modern technology such as video screens to enhance his shows. Most recently, he staged a Broadway revival of ''Theatre/WestSideStory'', the first to use new, modern choreography rather than the original choreography designed by Jerome Robbins. He is also currently developing a stage adaptation of ''Film/TheShining''. |

17 | Ivo van Hove won a Tony Award for Best Director for his revival of ''Theatre/AViewFromTheBridge'' and was nominated for another for ''Theatre/{{Network}}''. |
