An Honest Conversation series returns to Circa in 2026 for three unique shows. Dance duos will talk, dance and attempt to be as honest in completely improvised one-hour duets. 

44-year old choreographer Sacha Copland has created more than 20 full length dance theatre works and now she wants to talk. Sacha also wants to dance. Sacha will try to be honest while she dances and talks.

Dancer/choreographers Tiaki Kerei and Natalie Hona have already been brave enough to commit to a conversation. These fearless artists can’t make any promises but they will try to dance, talk and be honest.

Reviews:
“Somewhere between standup comedy, a physical competition, an intergenerational back-and-forth and a celebration of mauri / life force.” – Jonty Hendry
“I have never really seen anything like it before; the connection with the audience was electric.” – Sameena Zehra
“The audience loved it, the terrain of the conversation and the honesty exhibited was compelling.” – Theatreview
“They lay out their inner thoughts, like canapés, on a tray:  intelligent, skilled, vivacious, warts-and-all performers, in a totally improvised hour of talking and dancing.” – Theatreview
