“It’s unabashedly virile, dangerous and terrifically exciting.” - The Ottawa citizen, 2008
Fresh from a sell out tour to North America and Canada, including a season at the prestigious Kennedy Centre in Washington DC, internationally acclaimed Dance Company Black Grace presents Gathering Clouds, a brand new full-length work created by founder and Artistic Director Neil Ieremia, which promises to be “beautiful in its fury.”
Gathering Clouds is a response to controversial claims made by economist Greg Clydesdale in which he warns that Polynesians display “significant and enduring under achievement” – a problem he believes immigration is making worse.
“I have always believed in the spirit of the Long White Cloud that embraces everyone equally. But after reading these claims and reviewing passages of my personal journey, I realise the Long White Cloud has become dark in places and it feels like a storm is brewing.” - Neil Ieremia
“ . . . pulse-pushing, blood stirring, and sweat dripping tours-de-force.” - Pasatiempo, The New Mexican, Santa Fe, 2008
