GLORIA
By Douglas Wright after VIVALDI
A celebration of life and legacy in dance and music.
Presented by Co3 Contemporary Dance Australia
A celebration of life and legacy in dance and music.
One of New Zealand’s most magnificent artists of the twenty-first century, Douglas Wright created beautiful, brave, and innovative work. In honour of his extraordinary life, ten dancers from Co3 perform his iconic dance GLORIA, a homecoming – to joy, to love and to dancing. Set to Vivaldi’s most famous sacred work, dancers fly, twist and turn in a graceful airborne celebration of life.
Featuring West Australian Symphony Orchestra and St George’s Cathedral Consort conducted by Dr Joseph Nolan.
Supported by EY Australia and Douglas Wright Estate.
Filming, direction and editing by Nik Babic (Artshoot Media).
