Company Profile
Rifleman Productions Ltd seeks to foster and engage in quality contemporary dance theatre practice and performance that reflects our unique cultural perspective as New Zealand artists.
Rifleman believes that the future for independent choreographers lies away from the traditional dance company model. We aim to: create engaging work for a wide range of audiences; foster relationships with other artists, producers, technicians and business people; embrace professionalism across the full range of creative, production and business practice.
It is a particular aim of Rifleman Productions to promote and widen the public’s experience of and involvement in dance through presenting in addition to theatre-based work, portable and innovative work that challenges traditional ideas about what dance is and can be.
As a flexible production company, Rifleman Productions is interested in producing the work of other choreographers and/or collaborating with other choreographers in the production of combined programmes. We are interested in developing creative networks with other NZ and overseas artists of all kinds. Please contact us.
