Tāmaki Makaurau Dance Enquiry Hui

Northern Dance Network and New Zealand Dance Festival Trust (Tempo) are working together on Tāmaki Makaurau Dance Enquiry. Its focus is on how best to strengthen our city’s dance ecology and what is needed to support the sustainable development of dance innovators working in Tāmaki Makaurau.

We invite dance innovators from throughout Auckland to participate in the next steps. You are warmly invited to a very special hui on:

Saturday, 11 February at Te Noho Kotahitanga Marae - UNITEC, 9.30 am - 4.30 pm.
