<strong>Royal</strong> <strong>New</strong> Zealand Ballet (<strong>RNZB</strong>):<br />
Celebrating its 60th anniversary in 2013, the <strong>RNZB</strong> is an intrinsic part <strong>of</strong> <strong>New</strong> Zealand’s national<br />
heritage, and has the largest following <strong>of</strong> all <strong>New</strong> Zealand performing arts companies. <strong>The</strong> <strong>RNZB</strong><br />
enjoys a reputation for strong and unique interpretations <strong>of</strong> full-length dramatic works. To this base<br />
have been added the masterworks and major ballets <strong>of</strong> the 20th century, such as Balanchine's works<br />
and the Stravinsky ballets, and the company has an enviable track record in commissioning new<br />
works from <strong>New</strong> Zealand and international choreographers. <strong>The</strong> <strong>RNZB</strong> regularly represents <strong>New</strong><br />
Zealand on the international stage, with recent tours to the UK, Australia and a tour to China in April<br />
<strong>of</strong> this year. Filming <strong>of</strong> the third series <strong>of</strong> hit reality television show ‘<strong>The</strong> Secret Lives <strong>of</strong> Dancers’<br />
commenced in early 2013 and will be on screen later in the year. <strong>The</strong> <strong>New</strong> Zealand Film Commission<br />
are funding a major motion film directed by Toa Fraser (No 2 and Dean Spanley) based on the <strong>RNZB</strong>’s<br />
2012 season <strong>of</strong> Giselle for general release in late 2013 .
