TAPAC was created by the community for the community. It is the product of a long term commitment from a core group of dedicated Aucklanders with a passion for the performing arts.
The idea for TAPAC was born in the late 1980s, as the Performing Arts School of NZ under the Artistic Direction of Jo Kelly, accelerated in capacity and demand. Unitec’s Screen and Performing Arts Department evolved to fulfil some of this need, but it was decided that the community also needed its own performing arts school – somewhere that catered for all levels of expertise, from established professionals to emerging artists and community groups.
Performing arts stalwarts Jo Kelly, Wendy Preston MNZM and Maggie Eyre drove this vision forward. In the late 90’s, they were joined by artist Barbara Ward, who helped TAPAC find a home in the grounds of Western Springs College. WSC’S Principal, the late Ken Havill, lent his support to the project.
Together they lobbied potential stakeholders and investors for a shared community space where performing artists could rehearse, perform, learn and connect with other like-minded creatives.
Contemporary dance is a style of expressive dance that combines elements of several dance genres including modern, jazz, lyrical and classical ballet.Â
Contemporary is a genre of performance dance that employs compositional philosophy, rather than choreography, to guide unchoreographed movement.
We offer open contemporary classes that allow to develop skill that will support NCEA classes and take you on to further full-time training.
Contemporary dance utilizes both ballet and modern movement. Unpredictable changes in rhythm, speed, and direction are often used, as well as forms a creative dance expression.
This is a Contemporary Performance Class where the students will do a warm up, flexibility, technique & strength work and learn a performance piece to dance at our showcases
