Where: Te Whaea: National Dance and Drama Centre
NOTE TO SELF is a full-length choreographed performance, created fromoriginal short works, devised by NZSD 3rd-year contemporary dance students. Each work has been independently created, then thoughtfully woven together to form one shared performance experience.
Together, these works sit inside the tender and uneasy space of being seen. They ask what it means to be viewed, to be perceived, and how that gaze can shape, distort, reveal, or challenge our sense of self. The season explores the body not simply as something to look at, but as something that knows, remembers, senses, absorbs, and reveals.
Running through the work is a deep humanness - vulnerability, discomfort, identity, observation and the quiet negotiation between who we are privately and who we become when witnessed.
