ROYAL NEW ZEALAND BALLET, 2018

Music: Alton San Giovanni, Johann Sebastian Bach, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart & Cliff Adams Singers

Lighting Design: Andrew Lees

Costume Design: Donna Jefferis

I have been inspired by the strong women in my life, especially my mother and my mother-in-law. They are both single mothers and, in some way, heroes to all their children, male and female. This work is a celebration of the strength, sacrifice and beauty of motherhood. It is a glimpse into the world of one mother and her son; the ebbs and flows of their relationship over time, revealing that behind every great man, is a great woman.

[23 dancers, 20 minutes]
