If Ever There Was A Time
By Neil Ieremia
Esplanade
By Paul Taylor
Black Grace marks its 30th anniversary with a powerful double bill uniting the past, present, and future of dance.
Audiences will experience If Ever There Was A Time a world premiere by Founding Artistic Director Neil Ieremia, ONZM, performed alongside Paul Taylor’s seminal Esplanade, celebrating its 50th anniversary.
As he develops his latest work, Neil Ieremia reflects: “My new work, ‘If Ever There Was A Time’ is to do with some universal truths. It’s about the things that we have in common and the things that connect us rather than the things that divide us. At times it’s a desperate lament, a pulsating charge, a soaring prayer of praise. This is my personal protest, my quiet revolution.”
Stay up to date as this new work unfolds by following @blackgracedanceco on Instagram.
Esplanade is one of modern dance’s most iconic and influential works, and this season marks the first time a New Zealand company has been licensed to perform Taylor’s choreography. The result is a historic cultural collaboration bridging continents and generations.
Dynamic, diverse, and deeply moving, this unmissable experience celebrates Black Grace’s artistry and legacy while honouring one of modern dance’s greatest masters.
