Black Grace – This Is Not A Retrospective
Founding Artistic Director
Neil Ieremia ONZM
What better way to close out the Festival than with a party! In 2025, Black Grace hits 30 years and together with Auckland Live we've handed over the keys to the Great Hall to celebrate. Put on your best party outfit and your dancing shoes, as you will be given a rare opportunity to be amongst the action, a space where artist and audience connect. This Is Not A Retrospective is the ultimate interactive dance party, with the help of some of Black Grace’s most awesome friends from the past three decades. Mark our words — this will be a night to remember.
Party will continue after main event until late.

“Black Grace is now one of our foremost cultural exports, and its founder Ieremia, leads the current arts vanguard.”
“The work draws from—and transcends—contemporary dance, ballet, dances of the Pacific islands, and Ieremia’s personal reflections. He and the dancers are fluent in all of it, all at once.”
“The distinguishing spirit of this dance troupe, directed by Neil Ieremia, is an exhilarating, seemingly inexhaustible energy.”
