Change Your Own Life - Presented by TAHI Festival 2020

Acclaimed Wellington actor Jean Sergent's show about thriving and surviving through grief, happenstance, and self-sabotage returns to BATS for the third time in 2020!

If life has ever gotten so weird and dumb that you've thought about joining a cult, join Jean instead on a cosmic comedic journey through terrible happenings and horrible choices to learn how to Change Your Own Life. Grab your crystals, light some candles, and get ready to open your chakras, or at least laugh about sad things.

This performance is presented as part of and in collaboration with TAHI: New Zealand Festival of Solo Performance. This five-day festival is dedicated to showcasing Aotearoa’s finest, most engaging solo performance. TAHI gathers soloists from around the nation, and beyond – from established to emerging practitioners – to present work, collaborate and make connections across the industry. Alongside premiering and showcasing solo performances, the Festival provides opportunities for practitioners to extend the life of their performance work, to upskill, and to network through an integrated programme of performance, workshops, and forums. TAHI also seeks to foster relationships among tertiary institutions, actor training courses, secondary schools, BATS Theatre, and industry professionals.
