WORLD PREMIERE

“Male bodies grapple and collide…. Violent, gladiator sounds: the sting of skin hitting skin, the thud of bones hitting ground. For New Zealand's Black Grace, dance is a contact sport.” – Natasha Gauthier, The Ottawa Citizen, 17 April 2008

Gathering Clouds is a new dance work by acclaimed choreographer Neil Ieremia. Beautiful in its fury, Gathering Clouds responds to controversial claims made by economist Greg Clydesdale in which he warns that Polynesians display "significant and enduring under achievement" – a problem he believes immigration is making worse.

"I have always believed in the spirit of the Long White Cloud that embraces everyone equally. But after reading these claims and reviewing passages of my personal journey, I realise the Long White Cloud has become dark in places and it feels like a storm is breaking.” - Neil Ieremia
