Here Now

Acclaimed dance works on identity, migration and arrival by an exciting lineage of New Zealand dance makers.

Kilda Northcott and Lyne Pringle rekindle their award winning chemistry with a teaser from their new dance work Lily.

“Presented by some of our most accomplished performers…providing a heady and hilarious insight into the life of long-serving Dunedin doyenne and ballet teacher Lily Stevens.” New Zealand Herald

Liana Yew's work Kiwi (TEMPO 08's Best Choreography by an Emerging Artist) follows her grandfather's migration from China to New Zealand and the subsequent process of assimilation and loss of identity. This solo is an uncompromising, provocative and emotional look into cultural misconceptions and the multiple identities of a second generation NZer.

With “ . . . mesmeric purity and authenticity . . . ” Landing, by Claire Lissaman, is motivated by curiosity with the process of mapping -- remembering and forgetting, recognition and translation, transformation and exchange. Performed with live music by Wellington band The Turns.

Don't miss this revealing offering of dance by some of our most accomplished performers.

21 and 22 November, 7.30pm
Sun 23 November, 5.00pm
Cash only. Doorsales only.
