PAWA Information

Performance Art Week Aotearoa

PAWA is a platform for performance art in New Zealand running events year round and hosting a biannual festival in November. PAWA brings together a wide variety of performance artists from around New Zealand and the world with the intent to stimulate critical discourse, broaden audiences, and strengthen artistic ties. It not only serves as a space to host work but also as a space of giving and sharing, a space to create dialogue in the vein of reciprocation and celebration. It aims to showcase work that is challenging, engaging, and at times, quite confronting. Our hope is to see performance artists and participants leave this event with new ideas, a deeper understanding of performance art as an art form, and a more connected sense of community.

Former PAWA artist and good friend Alexa R Wilson is presenting a new work next week in Auckland. Don’t miss out on this epic performance! All details as follows: 1000 Tears new solo work by Alexa Wilson, 18th-19th September 8pm, Silo Theatre, 3 East Street, Newton, Auckland.

This solo abstractly and satirically as a double meaning of cutting and crying is a ritualised alchemising of social violence.
