Dance of the instant. The New Dance Group, 1945-1947
Description
The New Dance Group played a key role in pioneering modern dance in New Zealand in the 1940s -- an inspiring example of a young group without money or institutional support, who succeeded in creating something new in the arts by sheer determination and innovative thinking. Their story (which involves some well-known New Zealanders from theatre and education) reflects the excitement of the immediate post-war years in New Zealand.
