Neil Ieremia and renowned New Zealand Pacific Contemporary dance company BLACK GRACE, in association with Tātaki Auckland Unlimited present THE ART OF BLACK GRACE 1/5 - an Immersive Dance Experience by Neil Ieremia (ONZM), supported by Creative New Zealand.
This October Black Grace unveils its most ambitious, exhilarating creative project yet. The Art of Black Grace 1/5 is a
state-of-the-art, first of its kind interactive dance experience. Part-performance, part-exhibition and part-archive,
set in a non-contact environment that uses sophisticated technology to immerse audiences in the extraordinary world of
Black Grace.
Enter the universe of The Art of Black Grace – a portable 360 degree, 15 meter diameter by 6 meter high ‘cylindrical
structure’ situated in Auckland’s Aotea Square that accommodates up to 100 people. Designed so the audience feels as if
they are within a sensory show as visuals and sounds are displayed on 288sqm of LED panels.

Black Grace founder and artistic director Neil Ieremia says, “The Art of Black Grace speaks directly to our purpose, to
create world-class experiences in Pacific Contemporary Dance; and our vision, to create transformational dance
experiences of the highest calibre that represent our unique place in the Pacific. Our ultimate goal is to have multiple
displays in different locations across the globe at one time – one has to dream big”.
