Black Grace presents
20 for 20

For the past two decades Black Grace has taken the world by storm with its powerful and highly acclaimed productions. This summer the company invites you and the family to join their 20th Anniversary celebrations, as they tour throughout our beautiful country starting in Kaitaia on the 10th November and finishing up in Oamaru on the 6thDecember.

The tour, called 20 for 20 performs in 20 venues for just $20 tickets at the door (no bookings required). This is Black Grace unplugged, returning to their touring roots to honour NZ, their people, their past and their future.

Audiences will see some of Black Grace’s most popular and iconic short works choreographed by founder Neil Ieremia, including Minoi, Method and Human Languageto mention but a few. The programme will also feature brand new works by original Company members Sean MacDonald and Siaosi Mulipola, presented in a relaxed and informal setting but with the company’s trademark energy and breath-taking physicality ever-present.

“Black Grace have clinical accuracy and jaw-dropping physicality. Their finely-honed bodies exude an inspirational energy and move seemingly without the usual constraints of time and gravity.” - Otago Daily Times, New Zealand, 2013
