New Zealand’s Black Grace
As part of its 15th season, the Laguna Dance Festival will present Black Grace, a critically-acclaimed dance company from New Zealand that draws from Maori and Pacific Islander dance, modern, and hip-hop. Set for Sunday, Nov. 10 at 6 p.m., the evening will take the form of a dance lecture and demonstration in Bridge Hall at Neighborhood Church in Laguna Beach.
Viewers will have the opportunity to watch the company in a rehearsal environment. The meanings of some movements will be described, as well as themes behind the selected repertoire. Audience members will attend a reception and be invited to ask questions during a portion of the showing.
Tickets include a 5:30 p.m. reception prior to the 6 p.m. dance event. Tickets are $50 for general admission and can be purchased in advance at lagunadancefestival.org. Seating is limited; tickets may not be available at the door. Neighborhood Congregational Church is located at 340 St. Ann’s Drive, Laguna Beach.
