"Magical, disturbing, challenging and heartbreaking ... full of eros, pathos and humour."
- The Pantograph Punch

Performed by seven distinct women, ORCHIDS is a powerful, highly physical and image-rich show, directed by choreographer Sarah Foster-Sproull, drawing on the imagery of the flower that clings to dust and unexplored territories.

REVILERY
FOOTNOTE NZ DANCE, 2015

Choreographic Director: Natalie Maria Clark
​

Commissioned choreography as part of the 2015 N.O.W. season (four short works). ​A piece for five dancers, Revilery reflects on why people hold onto old habits and relationships - both platonic and romantic - even when they hurt us.
