"So much happens behind the scenes to make a production come to life..people quite literally move mountains! Usually the reward is sharing that work with an audience. But just as they were arriving, the atua had other plans. Tāwhirimātea took centre stage and totally stole the limelight..."
"When we gathered upstairs and shared a tear, what surfaced wasn’t frustration, it was gratitude. Gratitude for every single person, front and back of house, who showed up wholeheartedly. Gratitude for an audience who stayed, spreading out across the foyer floor, drinking tea, talking, connecting. Gratitude for the dancers, their whānau, and even their tamariki who packed down in the rain without hesitation. It reminded me that the real work isn’t only the performance, it’s the relationships. Our communities are everything."

"Everyone worked so hard to bring Ka Tiri o te Moana to life, and I’m so grateful. It wasn’t to be this time, and it’s the nature of mounting works in the embrace of Te Taiao…"
