2010 Made in New Zealand

A crowd favourite and an established performance season, 2010 Made in New Zealand celebrates NZ Music Month with new dance works by New Zealand choreographers.

Featuring 'Purlieu' by Malia Johnston, to new music by Eden Mulholland. Like the earlier work 'Miniatures' it is based on, 'Purlieu' is an exploration of the body’s relationship to small, precious and confined spaces. The work is being presented at the World Expo in Shanghai later this year and is partly influenced by its theme – 'better cities, better living'.

'I changed' by Sarah Foster, with music by Andrew Foster. An introspective exploration of social perceptions where voyeurism, exploitation, exhibitionism and exclusion are all part of a fast moving creation that is guaranteed to provide surprise and excitement onstage.

The programme also features two solo works – a solo by Michael Parmenter 'Somebody’s Darling' inspired by the unknown grave at Millar’s Flat, Central Otago and to music by Douglas Lilburn, and a solo by Ross McCormack 'Stealth' inspired by the graffiti art of DLT to music by Jody Lloyd.

Footnote Dance is a national contemporary dance company directed by Deirdre Tarrant with dancers Anita Hunziker, Jeremy Poi, Sarah Knox, Francis Christeller, Lucy Marinkovich and Robbie Curtis.
