FESTIVAL
The annual Measina Festival is a platform for emerging Pacific Artists to present works to audiences in Porirua, Lower Hutt and the greater Wellington region.
MĀUI
by Freshmans Dance Crew
Featuring cutting-edge choreography by Hadleigh Pouesi and Christopher Ofanoa with the musical genius of Tony O'Rourke and Gibson Harris.
This powerful live production is a series of exhilarating, innovative and heart-warming stories that honour the legends of MĀUI in a way like never before.
MĀUI demonstrates strength, growth, leadership and vulnerability. Through dance, live music and stunning visual projections.
ATALI'I O LE CREZENT
by Villa Lemanu
This coming of age dance theatre show is a response to the displacement of our communities through gentrification.
It is centred around Villa's fears of seeing his family leave the house that he grew up in in Otara and the loss of the village community that they've been a part of for several decades. What other than memories will we have after being "forced out"?
