big low dream

Footnote New Zealand Dance

Big Low Dream is a new contemporary dance work about what we reach for, together, in the dark. 

Choreographer Jessie McCall looks to dream logic - unruly, queer, ethically imaginative, as a way to hold onto meaning in a time of overlapping crises. Paradises slip their frames. Unexpected pleasures co-inhabit with the unthinkable. Spectacle flirts with collapse.

Ominous and funny, intimate and sweeping, BIG LOW DREAM is a rehearsal of possible futures — tender, desperate, and rising.

Praise for Jessie McCall:

"Through the combined impact of dance and design, McCall enables multiple truths to coexist, just as they do in our reality… This is a production in the hands of an artist who knows precisely what they’re doing. It’s focused and formidable; well-made and compelling." - Tate Fountain, Bad Apple, 13 October 2022 for I GET SO EMOTIONAL BABY

“Deeply perceptive and provocative work… It does exactly what art is supposed to do – it opens a window into our soul, and shines a light on moments we may often try to keep hidden.” - Emily Napolitano, Theatreview for TASSEL ME THIS
