A process-driven contemporary dance occupation of Monster Valley shop front on Auckland’s infamous K Road, this work by Josie Archer and Kosta Bogoievski celebrates the ‘making’ and ‘doing’ as a product itself. The performance scores, text and brainstorms are all part of the work as dance and choreography develops.

On Friday 3^rd December/ Freedom Day (as some were calling it) NZDC invited a few people join us in an activation of the Wellesley Studios carpark. We marked this liminal, awkward, and confusing transition from lockdown to traffic lights through a series of fun, task-like games. NZDC had spent a week ‘rehearsing’ going back, readying the nervous system for the transition to the new ‘normal.’ This was a participatory sharing of some of the games and tasks we’d been playing - processing and integrating this moment of in-between-ness.

In order to make this event accessible to unvaccinated folks we shared this activation in small groups of four.
