Loughlan Prior joined the Royal New Zealand Ballet in 2010, rising to become a company soloist, and has served as their Choreographer in Residence since 2018, with blockbusters like Cinderella and Hansel & Gretel under his belt.
His work, Subtle Dances, is being performed in Auckland next month as part of the Tempo Dance Festival.
And while he trained in Wellington, his career has taken him all over the world. Loughlan joins Emile Donovan from Portland, Oregon.
