Guy and Malia's wedding..seriously the best social event of the year and the nicest time I have ever had with a large group people from the dance community.
The MAU Forum, including Lemi's latest version of The Tempest. At the end of that piece, I looked at Sean and said "That was GOOD."
Performing at Melbourne's Dancehouse with a group of fantastic artists "You Are Not Alone You are Just In New Zealand". Put together by the tireless Malia Johnstone.
Performing in Settlement in good ol Wellington..gotta love that dust
Claire O'Neill's MTYLand performed by Footnote, seriously contemporary, seriously about fucking time!
The Trial directed by Stephen Bain, with exemplary design by Andrew Foster and a deeply cool collaborative cast of interdisciplinary performers.
Kraftwerk at the Auckland Town Hall. Flawless Will stay with me for a long time (Thanks for the ticket and the company Paul McLaney).
