The Royal New Zealand Ballet presents Solace: dance to feed your soul, a trio of premieres with new and recent ballets by Wayne McGregor, Sarah Foster-Sproull, and Alice Topp.
Infra – Wayne McGregor
Choreographed for an ensemble of twelve uniquely gifted dancers at the height of their powers, and set to a slowly drifting, soulful score by Max Richter, Infra is a profoundly moving meditation on the loneliness, connections, and consolations that lie beneath the teeming surface of the city.
To Hold – Sarah Foster-Sproull
This is Choreographer in Residence Sarah Foster-Sproull’s fifth work for the Royal New Zealand Ballet, collaborating closely with the dancers to create a ballet that takes a new look at the astonishing machine that is the human body: shape shifting, endlessly inventive and always greater than the sum of its parts.
High Tide – Alice Topp
Resident Choreographer at The Australian Ballet Alice Topp creates her first original work for the Royal New Zealand Ballet, inspired by the music of Australian composer Graeme Koehne. High Tide is a tender depiction of the never-ending morphosis from birth to death and is inspired by the human condition: growing pains, growing apart and growing together, and learning to love and live with the light and shade, youth and age, within us all.
