VOLUME 1 – ‘Improvisations of the First Kind’ – sets the project in motion with an improvised live music and contemporary dance event welcoming guest artists Kosta Bogoievski, Josie Archer (Ōtautahi), and Ōtepoti-based Oliver Connew - and accompanied by live music from Craig Monk and Tenzin Mullin (OMMU).

Come along for a relaxed afternoon of live music and dance - and the start of an incredible series!
