Katie<br />
Hurst-Saxton<br />
Born and trained in<br />
Christchurch, Katie<br />
Hurst-Saxton was<br />
offered a contract with<br />
RNZB at just 16 years of<br />
age, the youngest-ever<br />
full time member to join<br />
the company. Here she<br />
talks about preparing to<br />
dance Three by Ekman<br />
at the Isaac Theatre<br />
Royal.<br />
“From the very first moment<br />
I started learning the Ekman<br />
repertoire, I fell in love with it! It’s like nothing I’ve ever danced<br />
before in my 15 year career. What I love most about the Ekman style<br />
is the rhythms we get to make, with both our bodies and our voices.<br />
All three works are to such ‘feel good’ music and have a quirky sense<br />
of humour, so you can’t help but enjoy yourself while you’re dancing.<br />
Watch the RNZB take Class on Stage<br />
The RNZB invites teachers and their students to observe their national<br />
ballet company taking class. These close-up encounters act as a<br />
fantastic refresher as well as a learning tool for teachers, and provide<br />
a source of inspiration and motivation for students. Don’t miss this<br />
unique opportunity to watch the full company in action during their<br />
daily class, which will take place on stage in the stunning setting of the<br />
Isaac Theatre Royal.<br />
Saturday <strong>10</strong> June <strong>2017</strong>, 11am2<br />

Cost $<strong>10</strong> per ticket<br />
Suitable for all dance teachers, dance students aged 9 or older and<br />
accompanying adult.<br />

Performing in my hometown always brings a bag of mixed emotions.<br />
On the one hand I get extremely excited to be performing in the<br />
stunningly beautiful Isaac Theatre Royal, which feels so normal,<br />
so right, and is almost comforting to me. But on the other hand I<br />
know the majority of the dance world in Christchurch, which makes<br />
me nervous, because I want to perform perfectly for them and<br />
make them proud. When you know that certain people are in the<br />
audience, it brings a nervous tension to your dancing – which can<br />
often make for a better show!<br />
I can’t wait to be back in Christchurch with the Royal New Zealand<br />
Ballet’s Three By Ekman. Make sure you book your tickets for a night<br />
of fist pumping, high energy fun!”<br />
