Pineapple Productions to bring a sweet taste to the Auckland Fringe

The 2013 Auckland Fringe Festival is set to feature a unique interactive dance show that will give audiences the power to choose the performances they want to see.

Created by the French choreographer Julie Anterrieu, the interactive dance show will be on for four evenings (20th to 23rd February) at the Q Theatre.

Anterrieu has choreographed and performed in contemporary, jazz and Broadway shows for 15 years in Paris, New York and Auckland, winning awards in France and New Zealand for her work. Staying true to her versatile training and passion for anything dance, she decided to produce a show that allows the audience to experience different dance styles.

For the past year, Pineapple Productions has been living up to those principles with creations that include successful and always evolving performances such as dancing French Cancan for a Champagne launch for Jean-Paul Gaultier and the Rugby World Cup, Flashmobs for brands such as Bagabond, Hallensteins, Glassons and even the Auckland City Hospital, as well as Vintage choreographies for private functions and the Very Vintage Day Out.

The Pineapple Jukebox Dance Show will take on real Jukebox rules, enabling audiences to choose, from a pre-set list of songs and which dance they want to see the dancers perform.

Trained in jazz, contemporary, modern dance, ballet, musical theatre and lindy hop, the Pineapple dancers. The dynamic dancers switch from French Cancan to Classical Ballet, fast-paced Charleston to slow acrobatic chair moves, vintage high heeled pin up to grunge contemporary, and this is all skilfully achieved in a matter of minutes.

One of over 100 cabaret, burlesque, comedy, dance, music, outdoor, theatre and visual arts events that comprise the third Auckland Fringe, The Pineapple Jukebox Dance Show will present a different set every time, making each experience truly unique.
The Auckland Fringe, which runs from 15th February to 10th March 2013, is presented by THE EDGE alongside core partners ASB Community Trust and the K Road Business Association.

The Pineapple Jukebox Dance Show plays from 20th to 23rd February at the Q Theatre The Loft, Auckland City.

Tickets: $20, $18 Concession, $10 Children, $18 Group +6, $18 Fringe Artist (booking fees apply)
