New Zealand’s leading contemporary dance Company Black Grace is returning to the United States by popular demand following their successful 2008 tour.

Choreographer Neil Ieremia embues Black Grace with an explosive mix of rhythm, spirit and energy. His work has received critical acclaim throughout the Company’s extensive international tours to North America, Canada, Japan, Australia, New Caledonia and Europe.

“It’s this combination of genuine passion and energy together with Ieremia’s artistic direction and choreography, that makes such a brilliant fusing of Pacific and modern dance and Black Grace’s signature style.”
Inside New Zealand, 2005

Delivering a three-part programme, Black Grace is bringing a selection of their best repertoire from it’s 15 year existence, including; Minoi, a signature work based on the fusion of Samoan and western contemporary dance styles; excerpts from Surface*, a full-length piece based on traditional Samoan tattooing, and excerpts from Gathering Clouds, Ieremia’s latest full-length work.
