Transfer

2016

Transfer is a show comprised of two new works from New Zealand choreographers Jeremy Nelson (New York) and Joshua Rutter (Berlin). This season presents a rare opportunity to see dance by two exceptional artists who are not often in the Antipodes. Footnote New Zealand Dance has returned them home to draw on their international experience and bring their latest ideas to life through movement.

Jeremy Nelson explores uniformity and individuality in a dance work inspired by New Zealand architecture. A lot goes on between four walls, and we carry a lot in our bones - life, intention, experience. This is a piece to satisfy audiences who crave the kind of surging, whole-body dancing Jeremy Nelson is revered for. Here, he questions the relationship between the structural design of the buildings we inhabit and the internal architecture of the body we live in.

Joshua Rutter’s Tomorrow After All sees fragments scavenged from the internet assembled into an embryonic culture that starts to generate its own sense of time and place. Something larger lurks in the background, exerting influence and waiting to be revealed. An ode to virtual environments, this performance invites those who witness it to soak in the details and feel the atmosphere; to delight in its peculiar pleasures.
