Dry Spell

Dry Spell delves into a shuddering moment in time, blending nostalgia and futurism to create scenes of excitement, fear and pleasure. A mind can be very misleading, especially when we are in close proximity to it.  Performed by Footnote New Zealand Dance’s team of electrifying dance artists, with choreography by trailblazing choreographer Rose Philpott and sound design by acclaimed composer Eden Mulholland, Dry Spell is a performance for thrill-seekers. Teetering on an edge of hallucination and reality, this full-length show taps into the collective and individual needs of the soul. 

“Eden Mulholand’s driving score propels the movement relentlessly forward, although it also changes gear for moments of sultry abandon.” Dr Ian Lochhead, Theatreview

“The dancers compete with each other in a flurry of trios and duets spiralling the stage, in movement that is quirky yet sure of itself.” Nicole Wilkie, Theatreview

“There's wild dancing, self-indulgent solos, constant switching of partners, gossip, speculation and paranoia. The extreme characters embodied by the dancers are perfect for the occasion.” Raewyn Whyte, NZ Herald
