Who Are You?

The latest work directed by Neil Ieremia, Who Are You? features a company of exciting new performers - UrbanYOUTHMovement. From nearly every walk of life, from all over Auckland, young dancers between the ages of 16-21 are led through a demanding and often life-changing process to create a dance work reflecting on their generation.

“engaging and entertaining… transformative and ultimately uplifting.”
- Theatreview, 2009 (NZ)

“I told these young people that my perception of their generation is that they binge drink, are impatient and want everything NOW. They are unable to make a lasting commitment, are generally lazy and wouldn’t know what a hard day’s work was if it kicked them in the backside. Then I told them to prove me wrong.”
- Black Grace Artistic Director Neil Ieremia
