HATCH - Presented by TAHI Festival 2021

TAHI is a dedicated platform for the hothouse of local talent to present their work, and an important component of our work is valuing and fostering emerging artists.

HATCH gives a platform to students of acting programmes from Te Auaha (Kealan & Maea), Toi Whakaari: NZ Drama School (Chloe & Louise) and Victoria University (Amy & Viki) providing them with the opportunity to develop their craft through a series of showings with industry professionals.

This process not only connects these students with their peers in other institutions but also potential mentors and venues in the Wellington region. HATCH is a great opportunity for these six students to gain experience, skills and connections. Come support these exciting emerging voices.

Vivacious, Visceral, Vivid. by Amy McLean
An exploration of femininity through movement and spoken word.

Franklin and Perry by Viki Moananu
Franklin returns home one day to his rundown Uni flat and is accosted by a voice seemingly coming from nowhere. Is it God? No, it’s Perry, an omniscient Time being, who offers him the chance to go back in time to confront the night he was sexually assaulted.

The Monster in my Living Room by Kealan Schmidt
The Monster in my Living Room follows a humanoid creature, who has been confined to an incredibly vapid living room. In these confines, he lives a heavily monitored and restrictive lifestyle, particularly regarding eating habits. These restrictions provoke negative behaviours and outlooks, especially both towards and on himself.

All Roads by Maea Shepherd
Whiskey, memories, and Rome. All Roads, a solo show about a woman retracing her life trying to find closure. From hot nights under the Italian moonlight to the cold fog on a winter’s morning in New Zealand, this story is just a bite out of the life of Miriam Taylor.
