New Zealand School of Dance - Choreographic Season 2023 Axis

The New Zealand School of Dance (NZSD) is proud to present this year’s choreographic season, titled Axis. The season celebrates the students’ creative process and offers an insight into the development of their choreographic skills.

This year’s choreographic season promises to be a dynamic and eclectic showcase of contemporary dance. “Axis” is a collection of eight short pieces combined to create a full-length work, allowing students to showcase their talents and perspectives.

Axis will involve a thrilling partnership with Toi Whakaari: New Zealand Drama School. Toi Whakaari’s costume and production team will play an integral role in the development and execution of this exciting season. Additionally, emerging Scenographic Designer, Max de Roy, will lend his creative talents to the project, contributing to its lighting, costume, and stage design. With such a talented group of artists and designers working together, audiences can expect an awe-inspiring performance that resonates long after the last note of music falls away.

Axis opens at Te Whaea: National Dance and Drama School on 23 June and runs until 29 June 2023. Tickets are from $12 – $25.

Choreographic Season 2023 is funded in part by a grant from the Pelorus Trust.
