Although consisting of three distinct works by three different choreographers, Lumina is given unity by the overarching themes implied by its title across the fields of optics, anatomy and botany and through the unified design of set and costumes by Kasia Pol and the lighting design of Jo Kilgour. It is to the company's credit that its international touring has not undermined its commitment to local audiences and it is to be hoped that its most recent production, Michael Parmenter's OrphEus – a dance opera, will reach the South Island before long. It is perhaps a symptom of both the increasingly international world of contemporary dance as well as of the vagaries of arts funding that the New Zealand dance company's 2015 production, Lumina, is being performed in Christchurch and other New Zealand venues after already being shown in Holland and Germany and, most recently, Liverpool and Paris.
