Gloria - A Triple Bill

Co3 Contemporary Dance and The New Zealand Dance Company present

GLORIA - A TRIPLE BILL

Choreographed by: Douglas Wright, Raewyn Hill and Moss Patterson. 

A celebration of life and legacy in dance and music.

In a landmark collaboration, dancers from both Co3 Contemporary Dance and The New Zealand Dance Company honour one of our most revered choreographers, the late Douglas Wright, with the restaging of his iconic masterpiece GLORIA.

Acclaimed as one of New Zealand’s most magnificent artists of the 21st century and renowned for his beautiful, brave, and innovative work, Douglas Wright’s work has featured in five previous Festivals, including GLORIA in 1992.  

Set to Vivaldi’s most famous sacred score, this exhilarating performance bursts with joy and hope as dancers fly, twist and turn in a graceful airborne celebration of life. 

This groundbreaking triple-bill brings together leading voices from both sides of the Tasman, featuring A MOVING PORTRAIT by Co3’s Founding Artistic Director Raewyn Hill, and LAMENT by renowned Māori choreographer and Artistic Director of The New Zealand Dance Company Moss Paterson.

Hill’s A MOVING PORTRAIT offers an intimate meditative reflection on ageing, fragility, and grace, set to Arvo Pärt’s Tabula Rasa. 

Patterson’s LAMENT traces a powerful journey through memory and resilience, honouring the endurance of whakapapa and the visionary artistry of Douglas Wright.  

Don’t miss this stunning celebration of life and legacy in dance and music.
