What's changed for contemporary dance in 40 years?

This year New Zealand Dance company Footnote is celebrating its 40th anniversary. Footnote bill their story as the story of contemporary dance in Aotearoa. A bold claim but they have some good reason. Footnote is our oldest contemporary dance group. They were founded by Deidre Tarrant in Poneke Wellington during formative times for dance in Aotearoa in the mid 1980s.
