A rollicking piece of entertainment with great Dance!

A double bill by the South Island’s professional dance company – Primarily Dance.

1.  Afternoon With Percy has terrific dancing to well-known Percy Grainger piano melodies (e.g. Country Gardens).

First performed in the US with dancers from Ballet Idaho.

2.  After the interval comes Melodrama, a brand-new contemporary ballet which shows the making of a black & white silent film. The heroine, hero, and dastardly villain all playing their usual roles, with encouragement to the audience to cheer the hero, boo the villain and wipe a tear away as the singer emotes through her song.

Underlying the film plot are the 'real-life' attractions between the actors and the Director and film crew!

Our cast include favourites Tabitha Dombroski, Callum Phipps and Bjorn Aslund, with newcomers Zoe White, Andrew Rushby, and Nelson dancer Jordana Arnold. Featuring pianist Louis Lucas-Perry and singer Rosemary Galton.
