The Rebel Pink
An explosion of hot pink, vintage chrome and live sound, The Rebel Pink by Footnote New Zealand Dance provides three emerging choreographers with an opportunity to create New Original Work in a world conjured by New Zealand dance luminary Malia Johnston, designer extraordinaire Marcus McShane and world class drummer/musician Tom Scrase (ex-Strike).
These inventive choreographers, who are all towards the beginning of their choreographic careers, are exploring this world in their own fascinating creative language. With the brand-new Footnote company members as their performers, Eliza Sanders, Holly Newsome and Nancy Jo-Wijohn are bringing their unique thought processes to life. The three individual works are a colourful mosaic of ideas that explore the joys and pitfalls of human communication, and complex relationships with movement that is nuanced, lively and playful. Tom Scrase will be providing an epic soundtrack of live and recorded music to accompany each work.
With The Rebel Pink, audiences across New Zealand are invited into a bright, energetic conversation with the world they see before them.
Expect to be enthralled: expect to have a blast.
