Choreographic Season 2012
ON THE OTHER HAND

Te Whaea: National Dance & Drama Centre
11 Hutchison Road, Newtown, Wellington
This year's New Zealand School of Dance Choreographic Season titled 'On the Other Hand' introduces ten new works of expressive dance.
Examining conversation through movement, this intriguing show is created by final year contemporary dance students of the New Zealand School of Dance. The choreographers have collaborated with set designer Oliver Morse and lighting and costume students from Toi Whakaari: NZ Drama School to build a multifaceted theatrical experience.
Revealing elements of the set as the show progresses and the individual voices of its young protagonists, 'On the Other Hand' is dance that's impulsive yet enchanting.
