Works in Progress

“The New Zealand Project” (working title)

Currently, Red Sky is developing a new dance creation with the renowned Black Grace company. In November 2009, Artistic Director Sandra Laronde visited Artistic Director Neil Ieremia and Black Grace dancers in Auckland, New Zealand and then travelled to Wellington, N.Z., Apia and Savai’i in Samoa. During Sandra’s tremendous two-week stay, she and Neil discussed exciting opportunities for their forthcoming collaboration between Red Sky and Black Grace.

In March 2010, Black Grace came to Canada and collaborated with Red Sky in the first creation phase of this new joint project. This was an exciting time with choreographer Neil Ieremia as both companies continue to further explore and collaborate on this new dance initiative.
