Choreographer Sarah Foster-Sproull's WOW factor

From Nine To Noon, 10:07 am on 26 September 2019

Sarah Foster-Sproull is one of the country's top choreographers, and was named Creative New Zealand's Choreographic Fellow for 2017 to 2019. Last year she was the only local choreographer to produce a piece for the Royal New Zealand Ballet's suffrage anniversary show 'Strength and Grace' and this year she created a piece called Artemis Rising to farewell the company's principal dancer Abigail Boyle. Her 9-year-old daughter Ivy is learning the family trade - she has a starring role in Sarah's piece Orchids, which was on tour earlier this year. Sarah's talents will be on display as the Director of Choreography for the World of Wearable Arts Awards Show, which opens tonight in Wellington.

Sarah speaks with Kathryn Ryan.
