Atamira is integral to the contemporary performing arts sector working with collaborators from diverse creative fields. Over 23 years we have engaged with an exciting network of artists from many disciplines.

Videographers, set and spacial designers, costumiers, lighting illuminaries, poets, philosophers, photographers, and musicians all challenge and influence our work.

The foundation and impulse for all this creative work is a shared understanding and support of a Māori world view.

As a celebration of diversity, innovation, dance, performance, and technology, Atamira dancers and collaborators create from a continuum of stories, interpretation, and memory.

By mapping cultural processes with modern choreographic processes, we acknowledge the impacts of the past on the present while continuously defining our future. Our dance collective is constantly growing and evolving. We take risks. We challenge each other.
