Luck! interrogates the choreography of nationalism through a perverted study of folkloric dance, song and ritual process. A solo in the pit of crisis and transformation, Luck! performs a guttural dissection on the body of the nation-state. With hyperphysical rigour, the work appropriates gestures of regimentation and violence, only to render them flaccid and whimpering. If a movement is a container for intergenerational memory, can we trace the choreography of a consciousness in a dance? The agent of violence eats itself, in a declamation-cum-funeral-cum-degenerate group therapy.

In the face of state-sanctioned murder, and born from a river of grief, Luck! is a forum for mourning and indignation.

The world premiere of Luck! was presented in January, 2026, at Festival Parallèle, Marseille, France.

Amit Noy is an Apartment Studio Resident at Temperance Hall across March & April

In 2025, Temperance Hall's on-site self-catered live-in apartment was renovated and converted into the ‘Apartment Studio Residency’. This space offers artists a place to live, work and sleep, and includes a dedicated work space for studio practice alongside sleeping and living quarters, including a private kitchen, bathroom and courtyard

Temperance Hall's Apartment Studio Residency provides opportunities for artists/collaborations to develop and share new artistic work/choreography/research/experiments with local audiences during their stay.


AMIT NOY is a dancer, choreographer, and writer. Raised in Hawai'i and Aotearoa New Zealand, he now lives and works in Marseille. His work, frequently made and performed with multiple generations of his family, has been presented by Festival Montpellier Danse, Théâtre de la Ville—Paris, Sadler's Wells London, and the Auckland Art Gallery, among others. He counts Miguel Gutierrez, Deborah Hay, and Ishmael Houston-Jones among his teachers, and most significantly has spent the past seven years in deep collaboration with Michael Keegan-Dolan and Rachel Poirier of Teac Damsa. His writing on dance has been published by Artforum, BOMB Magazine, the Brooklyn Rail, and Gagosian Quarterly. He has received the Pina Bausch Fellowship and a Springboard award from the Arts Foundation of New Zealand. 'Amit' means good friend.
