Press Release: W.I.P’10
a DANZ intern initiative
W.I.P '10 is set to kick off at Galatos in May with the support of MIC Toi Rerehiko and will run throughout the winter months of 2010. The DANZ interns are excited to present this opportunity for emerging choreographers and performers like themselves.
This initiative is designed to give emerging choreographers a chance to present ideas and works in progress to an audience within a friendly environment. The aim is to generate feedback and support for choreographers to aid the progression of their work.
The May performances will be on the 25th and 26th and will showcase some new ideas and known themes from fresh perspectives. The diverse lineup presenting consists of graduates from The New Zealand School of Dance,Unitec, and students of Auckland University Post Graduate Dance Programme. The elements explored in season one range from grief and dark secrets to psychological architecture of self; Choreography by Benny Ord, Amy Mauvan, Hannah Tasker- Poland, Zhara Killeen-Chance and Emily Campbell.
The DANZ interns of 2010 are graduates from the Unitec, Auckland University and AUT dance programmes. ''I am both excited and daunted by the prospect of having my work showcased alongside the amazing artists that have applied so far.''- Amy Mauvan 2010 DANZ intern and choreographer for WIP'10 Season One.
