Auckland Festival AK07
TERRAIN at Galatos
reviewed by Felicity Molloy 16 Mar 2007
Elemental lexis of human feelings and connections
I rushed to get there, teeming traffic into a tiny world of toy cars. Malia, a tiny dynamic woman, a dance force to be reckoned with, lying, a most peaceful body suspended above yoga blocks. Oldish music, Baez and Dylan with Eno ambience played on old records. [more]

Tempo Festival of Dance 2007
TERRES D’AURAS at Concert Chamber - Town Hall, THE EDGE
reviewed by Felicity Molloy 6 Oct 2007
Two more shows to go today! Go
... The third section is perhaps the most successful with the blend of dancer energy and precision, music and extended visual moments of the company dancing together: a most satisfying culmination for watching in response ... [more]

TERROR ISLAND - A DANCE THRILLER at Musgrove Studio, University of Auckland
reviewed by Roxanne de Bruyn 6 Oct 2012
Quirky and lots of fun
Terror Island is fun and entertaining. You can just sit back, relax and enjoy it with the performers. It’s a small, intimate and quirky performance, and you feel like you’re part of the dancers’ lives just by being there. [more]

TERROR ISLAND - A DANCE THRILLER at Musgrove Studio, University of Auckland
reviewed by Matt Baker (Theatre Scenes - Auckland Theatre Blog) 6 Oct 2012
Terribly amusing
Devised from an eclectic range of hit pop songs from across the decades, I was pleasantly surprised with how well a narrative the collaborative team of Fingerprints & Teeth Productions and Dynamotion were able to create for the dance/theatre show Terror Island. [more]

TERROR PLANET at The Basement, Lower Greys Ave
reviewed by Raewyn Whyte 22 May 2013
Robots vs Humans in an effervescent romp
A comic-bookish tale of a dystopian world populated by humans and robots, it is delivered through effervescent dance routines. Very quick costume switches signal whether the performers are now humans or robots, or the central brain of the internet-based computer system driving the world along. [more]

TERRY FRISBY IN THE GREAT FRISBY COMEDY EXPERIMENT at The Basement, Lower Greys Ave
reviewed by Nik Smythe 29 Apr 2012
Was there an initial hypothesis?
Another late-night assortment of standup protagonists, with an original twist: rather than offering a taste of their material and plugging whatever shows they have on during the festival, head comedy-lab technician Terry Frisby has appointed each performer with ‘inappropriate material’. i.e. cast-against-type scripts from other local comics.

NZ International Comedy Festival
TERRY WILLIAMS IN THE GRIN REAPER at Brooklyn Bar - 57 Lorne St
reviewed by Lexie Matheson 29 Apr 2013
Attractive, charming, incredibly well prepared and very funny
The longest living people have nine secrets. So says Terry Williams, The Grin Reaper, and the aforementioned nine secrets provide the theme for his latest show. He’s right, of course, about the nine secrets, but as with most good comedy shows this doesn’t stop Williams commenting liberally on anything and everything including the occasional words of support - and advice - he gets from the more vocal members of his audience and, in so doing, he definitely runs the gamut of human experience.

Tempo Festival of Dance 2008
TERTIARY COLOURS at The Auckland Performing Arts Centre: TAPAC
reviewed by Natalie Dowd 3 Oct 2008
An interesting collaboration between new and old
Introducing the first of the curated Shared programmes for Tempo is Tertiary Colours, featuring works from four of the many tertiary programmes on offer now in New Zealand. “Each person is free to have their own experience” ... [more]

Tempo Festival of Dance 09
TERTIARY COLOURS at TAPAC Theatre, Western Springs
reviewed by Julia Barry 1 Oct 2009
A thoroughly uplifting evening
The future of dance in New Zealand is in very good hands if the talent and creativity of the dancers, choreographers and production team associated with Tertiary Colours is any indication. This eclectic mix of dance works encompasses a range of dance genres and styles, including elements of contemporary and cultural dance, jazz and classical ballet. [more]

Tempo Dance Festival 2012
TERTIARY COLOURS (2012) at Q Theatre Loft, 305 Queen St
reviewed by Dr Linda Ashley 13 Oct 2012
A rollercoaster programme
A newcomer to the scene of tertiary performing arts is Manukau Institute of Technology. With 20 students, guest tutor/choreographer, Unitec graduate, Josh Rutter produces Glamour Technologies. I like to think that this work has emerged from a blend of practice with theory as it delves intoexploring the close relationship that young people have with the internet as a reality. There is an echo of the raw energy that the audience felt earlier but the sheer size of this group take attitude to a whole new level. Coolarama struts through hyperspace and it’s all about conforming, and it’s not all pretty, but it is pretty funny in places. [more]
