WHENUA
Premiering 2024
Join us for ‘Whenua’, a new double bill program showcasing unique and brilliant creative voices from Aotearoa New Zealand. Choreographer Malia Johnston (Movement Of The Human) has collaborated with celebrated indigenous artist Rodney Bell (Ngāti Maniapoto) to create Imprint. This new work explores our deep connection to our bodies, the world around us, our connections to each other, and our ancestry.
Paired with Eddie Elliott’s (Ngāti Maniapoto) 'Uku - Behind the Canvas,' which premiered in 2022 to rave reviews, 'Whenua' presents a distinct yet complementary program.
These incredible artists draw from nature, exploring our humanity, our relationship to land, and our coexistence with the natural environments and elements.
Awaken your senses with 'Whenua'—a breathtaking creation by three of Aotearoa’s most exciting choreographers.
