The National Dance Theatre Company of Jamaica, NDTC, mourns the passing of former principal dancer Mrs. Noelle Chutkan, a cherished member of the company’s family whose life, artistry, and spirit formed part of the rich tapestry of the NDTC’s history and legacy.

As the NDTC family mourns her passing, we also celebrate a life devoted to artistry, friendship, culture, and community. Mrs. Chutkan’s legacy lives on in the memory of the company, in the lives she touched, and in the enduring spirit of the NDTC itself.

The NDTC extends deepest condolences to her family, friends, former colleagues, and loved ones during this difficult time. May she rest peacefully among the ancestors, and may her spirit continue to dance eternally.
