If Never Was Now
Commissioned by Dancenorth and in the repertoire of New Zealand Dance Company
“Urgent and brilliantly unpredictable.”
Originally commissioned by Dancenorth and now touring the world with New Zealand Dance Company, If Never Was Now is a surreal hive of buzzing activity reflecting the beauty and brutality of the natural world.
From marching automatons to hybrid creatures, this work and the dancers within it are continually transmuting and being affected by their rapidly changing conditions. It’s about survival, symbiosis and growth. The dancers incubate a strange world with a desperate forward momentum.
