tempo - Cheek to Cheek
duets showcase
Tempo loves a good shindig, and what better way to end the TAPAC season than with a dance party - duet style. Cheek to Cheek celebrates partner dancing and duets by beautifully, humorously and dramatically exploring the space and relationship between two bodies.
You may even recognise a few familiar faces, as the gorgeous stars of Dancing with the Stars share the floor with other movers and shakers to dazzle and amaze - two by two.

tempo - Short Dance Films
NZ made dance films
The art of dance on screen has developed exponentially since video cameras were finally affordable to choreographers in the last decade of the 20th century. Like music videos changed the popular music scene, dance videos are set to rip apart the assumptions about dance and dance film. Tempo presents a variety of short dance films as a special programme which will include NZ Film Archive's material and the latest from the NZ dance artists of today.
