Subtle Dances is a programme of new works created by three of New Zealand's leading contemporary ballet choreographers - Cameron McMillan, Loughlan Prior and Sarah Knox.

The BalletCollective Aotearoa is a newly formed project-based dance company and is thrilled to showcase this new choreography by securing some of New Zealand’s leading dancers including Abigail Boyle, William Fitzgerald and Medhi Angot, alongside exciting
young and emerging New Zealand trained talent. Harnessing the energy and vivacity of ballet dancers here in Aotearoa, the works show our unique creativity, shaped by the country’s isolation and rugged landscape. These three ballets aim to express our openness to new and immersive ideas through our many cultural influences and the
innate curiosity of all New Zealanders.
 
The BalletCollective Aotearoa is thrilled to be collaborating with the prodigious NZTrio - Amalia Hall (violin), Ashley Brown (cello) and Somi Kim (piano) - who will perform live John Psathas’ work Helix, Claire Cowan’s Subtle Dances (commissioned by the NZ Trio) and music by Rhian Sheehan, arranged for the NZTrio by Ryan Youens.
 
Witness new homegrown contemporary ballet, performed to live New Zealand music, finding new ways to explore our uniqueness and how we fit within our everchanging landscape.

Transfigured Night             
BalletCollective Aotearoa & Chamber Music NZ

Award-winning choreographer Loughlan Prior creates a new visceral performance work to Schoenberg’s ‘Verklärte Nacht’ – TRANSFIGURED NIGHT. Based on the mystical poem by Richard Dehmel, this chamber concert brings together the New Zealand String Quartet and the BalletCollective Aotearoa in a celebration of new life, the duality of conflict and resolution and, ultimately, reconciliation with the universe.
Coupled with Dvořák’s gorgeously Slavonic string sextet and a new commission by Kiwi composer Tabea Squire, this night of sumptuous music and dance will take you on a moving journey of courage, strength and human warmth.

The Performers: 
Laura Saxon Jones, William Fitzgerald, Tabitha Dombroski

Helene Pohl violin
Monique Lapins violin
Gillian Ansell viola
Serenity Thurlow viola
Rolf Gjelsten cello
Ken Ichinose cello

​Lockdown / Level Changes


​Covid-19 loves to keep us on our toes and we are all gutted that our performances of Subtle Dances at the Bruce Mason theatre on the 5th & 6th March, as part of the Auckland Arts Festival 21, have been postponed.

However we are continuing working in the studio this week so as to be performance-ready for when we can get in front of an audience. We are looking forward to our performance in the Dunedin Arts Festival. 

Thank you for all your support and watch this space for performance updates...
