Movement of the Human’s celebrated choreographer and director Malia Johnston’s (World of Wearable Arts, Belle - A Performance of Air, Auckland Arts Festival) FREE immersive urban dance experience – Tōrua arrives in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland for a very limited season. Her work brings together a wealth of incredible dance artists - Levi Siaosi, Sefa Tunupopo, Kia Jewell, Xin Ji, Jemina Smith, Ella Williams, Andre Busby, Petronilla Su'a and Cameron Holland who hail from across Aotearoa New Zealand and Australia.
This stunning FREE dance work will take place over two weekends during April across two of Auckland’s iconic public spaces - Te Komititanga in front of Britomart Station and Aotea Square. Tōrua will gift audiences a journey that is led by the dancers as they move and respond to the urban landscape and use the city as their dance floor.
Tōrua is magic conjured on the streets… An intricate gift for all who choose to engage. Lyne Pringle, Theatreview
Accompanied by music composed by Anna Edgington and Eden Mulholland (Ngāti Porou), the soundtrack of Tōrua is integral to the dance work and creates a fully immersive piece. Audiences experience this memorising soundscape via headphones.
The work feels instinctual, spiritual, a poignant moment in a backdrop of urban business…. Leila Lois, Theatreview
