ANTARCTICA: THE FIRST DANCE will premiere on Earth Day, Sunday 22
April 2018, in the UK and be available to New Zealand audiences late
Sunday evening. It is a dance film that captures both the staggering
beauty of the icy Antarctic landscape while we still have it, and the
movement of the dancer within it.
The awe-inspiring contemporary ballet featured in the film is
performed by Madeleine Graham, star of the Royal New Zealand Ballet.
Madeleine’s heroic effort, dancing in temperatures ranging from -2.4
to -16°C during 12 days on the ice, belies the grace, vitality and
beauty of her performance.
It’s an unforgettable performance in an extreme environment – you
