30Forward
2015
Thirty years is a long time to be at the forefront of contemporary dance, and it’s enough time to learn that survival isn’t possible without adaptation.
Part reflection and part premonition, 30Forward acknowledges the massive contribution of New Zealand choreographers throughout Footnote’s evolution with a selection of highlights from past works curated by Founding Director Deirdre Tarrant.
A new commission from renowned choreographer Malia Johnston draws on the company’s physical history to suggest where the next steps may take us. Johnston’s piece propels us forward through a mesmerising investigation of choreographic, visual and musical archives.
30Forward by Footnote New Zealand Dance flips, samples, stretches, disrupts and regenerates the solid foundation of a dance company fuelled by three decades of invention.
