Show description
Three ballets inspired by journeys and the meaning of home.
The programme takes its name from Moss Te Ururangi Patterson’s new work, Home, Land and Sea, created for six dancers from the Royal New Zealand Ballet and six from the New Zealand Dance Company.
Moss’s work weaves together the cultural heritage of Aotearoa with the historical echoes of Cook’s Endeavour voyages. The work encourages audiences to reconnect with their heritage, celebrating our differences and the threads that unite us.
Shaun James Kelly’s Chrysalis reflects his transformation from a young Scottish dancer to a New Zealand dancer and choreographer, set to music by Philip Glass.
Stephen Baynes’s The Way Alone, set to Tchaikovsky, is a deeply personal, contemplative work, completing this reflective and dynamic programme.
