TINĀ - A brand new dance work by TULOU

Presented by Kia Mau Festival in partnership with The Dowse Art Museum.

Join groundbreaking dance collective, TULOU, as they perform excerpts from TINĀ in The Most Dedicated: An Aotearoa Graffiti Story.

Choreographed by Ufitia Sagapolutele, younger sister of TMD member Raymond Sagapolutele (RIMONI). TINĀ has been developed in response to a series of photographs Raymond took of their mother in the old TMD studios in Onehunga – an artistic collaboration between siblings demonstrating the fruits of the TMD influence beyond visual art.

TINĀ invokes passion and heart through a fierce movement vocabulary with roots in Pacific and contemporary dance. Performed by a strong cast of women, TINĀ explores concepts of motherhood and mana wāhine.

Duration of excerpt is 30 minutes.
