Welcome to ‘Orchesis’

A Queenstown Contemporary Dance Showcase

Join us for an evening of
movement,
music and
local creativity
as Queenstown Contemporary takes to the stage alongside guest performers from across our community.

Blending contemporary dance, other movement styles, live music and aerial performances.
Orchesis unfolds as a journey through time and space,
from Seeds, representing life and possibility, through earth, ancestry, survival, culture, reflection and imagination, before expanding into future beings and worlds unknown.
The journey ends in the
Universe, vast, limitless and full of possibility, bringing the story full circle from one tiny beginning to something infinite.

At its heart, QTC is about community, giving people of all backgrounds and experience levels a place to dance, grow in confidence, form friendships and experience the joy of performing.

Whether you love dance and music or simply want a unique night out, we’d love you to join us and support local performing arts.

What is 'ORCHESIS'?

The name comes from the Ancient Greek Órchēsis, meaning dance or the act of dancing - a fitting name for a showcase celebrating movement, expression and connection.

Come celebrate connection, creativity & community✨
