DANCE DANCED DANCING
DANCE DANCED DANCING (2024)
Independent production at Q Theatre
brief:
DANCE DANCED DANCING (2024), presented and choreographed by Josie Archer & Kosta Bogoievski, is an independent season of their full length commissioned work with Footnote NZ Dance company in 2021. For its debut in Tāmaki Makaurau, J&K are teaming up with Olivia McGregor, Tori Manley-Tapu, Xin Ji and Joshua Faleatua, alongside returning lighting designer, operator, and dancer, Tony Black!
Brimming with punk-like energy, vitality, and passion, DANCE DANCED DANCING (2024) takes great pleasure and care with the improvisational and choreographic possibilities of contemporary performance. Dispersed among explosive, gentle, and virtuosic moments there includes a ritual for Gravity, a freestyle light solo, live GIF sequences, and a grand reveal that will leave you spellbound for the remainder of the show.
As the final leg of the DANCE DANCED DANCING tour this show is not to be missed!
“A celebration of dance unbounded” - Megan Seawright, Theatreview
“This show has moved and excited me as no other dance performance has for many years.” - Dr. Marianne Schultz, DANZ
“What I think makes Archer and Bogoievski’s particular passion distinct is that their work directly engages with choreographic ontology, that is, they ask what is choreography, and what does it do?” - Julia Harvey, Theatreview
DANCE DANCED DANCING (2021)
Commissioned by Footnote New Zealand Dance Company (2021)
Brief:
DANCE DANCED DANCING (2021), presented by Footnote New Zealand Dance and choreographed by Josie Archer & Kosta Bogoievski, takes the essence of their 2020 ChoreoCo work New Dance Group and blows it up. Brimming with punk-like energy and beautiful urgency, DANCE DANCED DANCING (2021) takes great pleasure and care with the improvisational possibilities of one single performance. As each very different venue nationwide will be incorporated into the world of DANCE DANCED DANCING (2021), the five Footnote company members will embrace and commit to their tightly constructed performance scores as they take to the stage alongside a sixth performer, the playful and unexpected lighting design by Tony Black.
“A provocative, energetic delight.” Claire O’Loughlin, Pantograph Punch
