Following the screenings we held a Q&A discussing pre-production and post-production, the journey of transitioning from stage performer to film creator and the challenges of working with low budgets or limited resources. We also discussed the importance and beauty in collaboration, taking risks and sharing our creativity with the world. Thanks to the support of NPAFE.

‘TAHI’ (Film) – World Premiere: Mercado Cultural do Caranda in Braga, Portugal April 28 2022. ‘TAHI’ is a reference to the Māori word meaning ‘’one’’ or ‘’joining as one,” and part of the verb used to express: living together, cooperation and reconciliation. This piece follows the journey of two individuals in their discovery of learning to live with themselves in their own skin and what this means for them when they are confronted with the challenge to see the other as not a hindrance but an inextricable part of their evolution. “Vulnerability is not weakness: it’s our greatest measure of courage. Vulnerability is not winning or losing: it’s having the courage to show up and be seen when we have no control over the outcome.”

‘UNVEILED’ – (film) 2022
“UNVEILED” is a mesmerizing dance film that follows a young woman as she runs through the woods, through her movements, she faces or flees from her fears, blurring reality and imagination. The film is accompanied by an original sound score of contemporary violin and cello music, enhancing the experience with haunting melodies and rhythms.
