Two stunning new contemporary works - Douglas Wright's rapt, and Maguy Marin's May B - headlined the strongest and most exciting dance programme in the history of Auckland Arts Festival in 2011.  The 2011 Festival celebrated one of the world's most influential dance nations with a showcase of five outstanding contemporary French works, under the banner FranceDanse.  This showcase of French contemporary dance made up the Festival's entire 2011 international dance programme and was presented in partnership with Culturesfrance.

We look forward to sharing the 2013 Festival programme with you.  Look out for the release of this!
