Good Company Arts (GCA) was co-founded by Te Tumu Toi Arts Laureate and artistic director Daniel Belton and creative producer Donnine Harrison. GCA creates live events, exhibitions and installations through the fusion of multiple art forms. Our work has been produced and presented for theatres, art galleries, museums, fashion shows, found spaces, architectural and media facades, cinemas, planetariums, virtual reality and web platforms. Project based, working from southern Aotearoa New Zealand, we are internationally recognised as arts and design innovators, combining contemporary dance and choreographic process with film, music, fine arts, motion graphics, couture, digital cinema and AV technologies.
Good Company Arts is a leading voice in extending performing arts beyond the conventional stage. Renowned artists work together through the leadership of Daniel and Donnine to produce unique multi-modal projects. Collaboration between artists is the key to creative genesis and to sharing our stories. We bring ideas from our respective places of origin and cultures, to an open space where these concepts can find coherence inside common visions. Projects become springboards for inter-cultural fluency, learning and reciprocity. Stories that highlight our relationship to the natural world through movement and sound are central to this vision of unity, which is about celebrating diversity in life.
Good Company Arts is honoured to work with Liana Harrison (Ngāi Tahu, Waitaha, Kati Mamoe, Ngāti Tama, Ngāti Toa, Te Atiawa) of Collaborative Aotearoa, supporting our Māori and Pasifika partnerships. Liana is 1/4 Samoan. Her grandfather came to Aotearoa in 1956 from Nofoalii on the main Island of Upolu in Western Samoa.
