Black Grace to tour New Zealand

Black Grace
‘Verses’
Choreographed by Neil Ieremia

“In a memorable performance, the thrilling and brilliantly executed New Zealand Company Black Grace integrated many aspects of modern dance with Samoan and South Pacific indigenous dance forms. The result was no cut-and-paste assemblage, but a new art form.”
Broad Street Review, Philadelphia, 2010

New Zealand Herald, 2010

“This new embodiment of Black Grace, it’s very best, deserves not just one viewing – but two, three or more!”
