What are the career options for talented young dancers these days? Two such talents Joshua Faleatua and Tyler Carney are in the midst of finding out. The pair for the last three years have been dancing with New Zealand contemporary dance company Footnote, but this month that comes to an end.
So what next? For both, careers beckon overseas. While Joshua has recently been dancing with Australian company Chunky Move, Tyler has a role in Mam, the work of celebrated Irish choreographer Michael Keegan-Dolan and his new company Teac Damsa, which has just been announced as part of the New Zealand Festival in February. Mark Amery caught up with the pair as they wrapped up a national tour with Footnote of Ross McCormack's new work The Clearing.
