Feel the raw power, stunning beauty, and exhilarating energy of Black Grace with one of New Zealand’s most iconic and celebrated dance companies.
Founded in 1995 by Neil Ieremia, a choreographer of Samoan and New Zealand heritage, Black Grace draws on the rich storytelling traditions of the South Pacific to create work deeply physical, breathtakingly beautiful, and impossible to look away from. Ieremia has spent three decades building a body of work that spans cultural, social, and generational barriers, and in doing so has turned Black Grace into one of the most recognized and celebrated dance companies in the world.
Featuring some of New Zealand’s finest dancers, the company has earned standing ovations from audiences across North America, Europe, Asia, and the Pacific. Praised by The Boston Globe for packing the “raw visceral power of a primal communal rite into a carefully constructed form of rigor and sophistication,” Black Grace delivers something genuinely rare. Witness world-class dance at its most human and most powerful at Centennial Hall.
