The Ground Beneath Our Feet
Shaun James Kelly is loved by New Zealand audiences for his joyful, musical dancing. Now, as an RNZB Choreographer in Residence, he stakes his claim as one of this country’s most exciting innovators of classical dance choreography. By applying levels to movement, Shaun’s work will expand and stretch the classical form to explore and play with gravity, time and growth. Set against the brilliant structure, momentum and harmonic drive of J S Bach, this new work will satisfy lovers of pure dance in all its forms.
