This year’s Choreographic Season provides a platform for 3rd year contemporary dance students from the New Zealand School of Dance to showcase their creative voices in a curated and supportive environment. The showcase, titled Liminal, builds on the students’ formative learning in years one and two of their programme of study, to collaborate with professional costume, lighting and design experts.
The eight students each have the opportunity to create their own individual works, mentored by course tutor, Holly Newsome.
Newsome, a graduate of the School, deeply understands the importance of this choreographic undertaking. "The Choreographic Season is a transformative experience for the students. It not only showcases their skills but also empowers them to express their artistic voices and springboard into the industry as dancers and choreographers.”
As 3rd Year student Anna Hosking expresses, "Choreographic Season is an extremely special moment for the3rd year contemporary dance students, as it is a time to collaborate with both friends and artists in a safe, supportive space.”
In an exciting collaboration, this year's showcase sees Toi Whakaari graduates taking centre stage in various key roles. Elishia Ward under Costume Constructions, Elekis Poblete Teirney under Lighting and Design and Tommy Berridge as the show's Production Manager.
Audiences can expect an awe-inspiring performance that will resonate long after the last note of music falls away. Liminal opens at Te Whaea: National Dance and Drama School on May 10th and runs until May 17th,2024. Tickets are available from $15 to $30 and can be purchased atnzschoolofdance.ac.nz/events/choreographic-season-2024.
