The Ground Beneath Our Feet

“But the long-awaited awe, classical majesty and exhilarating choreography of attending an evening of ballet, and one also befitting of an internationally renowned ballet company, belongs to The ground beneath our feet by Shaun James Kelly. Kelly joined the Company as a dancer from the UK in 2014, and is currently the Royal New Zealand Ballet’s Choreographer in Residence. With vivid structure, exciting and unrelenting momentum, the tenfold ensemble soar to lofty heights, dynamically displaying what they love and know best to a reworked version of J.S. Bach’s Violin Concerto, providing balletic exhilaration, technical intensity, and spell-binding brilliance. The audience receives Kelly’s work with riotous applause.”
