Inzpire Dance Company presents CANVAS

“The world is but a canvas to our imaginations”

Inzpire Company presents their second full length show – Canvas -

January 30th 2012 7pm

Using the concept of a blank canvas to represent life, our dancers weave their stories using colour as the theme and movement as the medium.
Canvas is a multifaceted show, and has something for people of all ages. Multimedia and art combine to paint our picture, as we take our audience on a journey of every emotion and phase of what makes up our lives. The show has a varied soundtrack and and also features live accompaniment to some of the pieces, adding even more depth to the already moving show. Special guest dance acts finish off the production beautifully, ensuring a mix of dance styles, showcasing several up and coming, very talented New Zealand choreographers. From fun and frivolity, to dealing with some of lifes hardships and gritty issues, CANVAS has it all.

TAPAC presents CULTURE CLASH (working title)

A NEW WORK @ TAPAC
Come & join us create!

Directed by:   Beth Kayes
Produced by: Margaret-Mary Hollins & TAPAC

 We will be creating a new and exciting physical theatre based work at TAPAC lead by Co. Theatre Physical’s Artistic Director Beth Kayes.  TAPAC and Co. Theatre Physical will join forces to create this new work to be workshopped during the first term of 2012. 

This will be a site specific, unique event lead by a professional team, working with many of the active performing arts, professional and community groups who regularly create, workshop, rehearse, play and perform at TAPAC.  We aim to create a new event of pure joy and entertainment celebrating Auckland’s talent and diversity. The final performance will be devised over a series of fun and challenging workshops as we gather new material to create the unexpected. While we will combine a variety of talents and performance styles we’ll be striving for quality in performance. You might wish to perform or you might prefer to be behind the scenes, we are open – but the vital ingredient is commitment. This new work will combine a variety of talents from a clash of cultures through theatre, dance and music.
