Commentary Of Dreaming

AOTEAROA NZ | COMPANY BECK

‍

Ōtepoti-born, nationally acclaimed dancer and choreographer Jeremy Beck returns to Dunedin to premiere his highly anticipated new work, Commentary Of Dreaming.

Three years in the making, Commentary Of Dreaming is both a celebration of dance, and the realisation of Beck’s vision to develop and present groundbreaking dance projects in Dunedin.

With Beck’s acclaimed choreographic style and stunning scenography, Commentary Of Dreaming offers a physical commentary on a journey into adulthood. Inspired by the astrological concept of Saturn Returns, it meditates on subconscious rites of passage and our conscious perception of ageing, culminating in a bittersweet ode to a youth spent in Dunedin.

Commentary Of Dreaming unites a talented team of national and international artists, featuring six of Aotearoa’s finest contemporary dancers alongside 15 non-dance-trained friends from the Dunedin community. Beck’s choreography and set design are enriched by a new sound score from sonic artist Hominid (Benny Jennings) and lighting design by Martyn Roberts.
