Overview

The New Zealand School of Dance and Toi Whakaari: NZ Drama School are New Zealand's national training institutions for dance and drama. Both schools are housed in Te Whaea: National Dance and Drama Centre in Wellington. Te Whaea shows feature a diverse mix of contemporary dance, classical ballet, new New Zealand theatre and Shakespeare. As the purpose of these productions is to utilise the students' talents to their extreme, you can often see shows exploring a wide variety of dance and theatre on a scale rarely found in professional companies. Plus, all tickets are marked reasonably.
