2010 Made in New Zealand

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

Featuring '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 'Somebody’s Darling', a solo choreographed by Michael Parmenter inspired by the unknown grave at Millar’s Flat, Central Otago and to music by Douglas Lilburn.

Footnote Dance is also thrilled to present MTYLAND, fresh from the New Zealand International Arts Festival. Choreographed by Belgium based New Zealander, Claire O’Neil, MTYLAND was the winner of Best Choreography by an Established Artist or Company at the 2008 Tempo Awards, and has achieved great audience response and critical acclaim. This intoxicating choreography, now reworked, is a moving exploration of the search for calm amid life’s chaos. With music by Herman Martin featuring tracks by indie-band Battles.

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