Black Grace 20 for 20

Talofa Lava

For twenty years the explosive and pioneering work of Black Grace has taken local and New Zealand audiences on an epic journey into the very best of Pacific Contemporary dance.

"Incredible strength, agility, stamina � simply flawless" Danceworld.com, New York, 2014

This summer the company would like to invite you to join the 20th Anniversary celebrations as they tour 20 for 20 throughout 20 venues in our beautiful country. Starting in Kaitaia on the 10th November and finishing up in Oamaru on the 6th December.

Undergoing a New Zealand tour of 20 centres takes an incredible amount of time, dedication, patience, passion, and yes finances. We're looking to partner with our friends, family and supporters to help us fund this exciting tour.

Financial support at any amount goes a long way! It helps pay for:

� Rehearsal space

� Payment for dancers

� Lighting design

� Costume costs

� Accommodation and travel costs

What to expect? Black Grace's most popular and iconic short works choreographed by founder Neil Ieremia, as well as brand new works by original Company members Sean MacDonald and Siaosi Mulipola, presented in a relaxed and informal setting but with the company's trademark energy and breathtaking physicality ever-present.

"Black Grace have clinical accuracy and jaw-dropping physicality. Their finely honed bodies exude an inspirational energy and move seemingly without the usual constraints of time and gravity. When you can experience dance like this, you feel there really is hope for the future." - Otago Daily Times, New Zealand, 2013

Thank you for taking the time to read about our exciting campaign. We appreciate your support and can't wait to share 20 for 20 with you. Every donation will bring us closer to sharing world-class contemporary dance with you, our audiences across New Zealand. We look forward to keeping our supporters up to date with our progress, sharing our news and images along the way.
