Tiny Fest is a platform for Ōtautahi to celebrate radical performance art and artists.
We are a collaborative festival, combining a range of pop-up community activations alongside curated, thought-provoking, performance programme, to spark kо̄rero and support wānānga about urgent global and contemporary issues.
Check out our MANIFESTO.
-
for us “the site is the theme,” with venues fundamentally shape-shifting our curatorial approach and artistic responses.
-
Carving out space in Ōtautahi’s shifting landscape — for artists and audiences alike and tracing routes that link us with makers and thinkers across Aotearoa and beyond.
We are making room for performance art to take root in Ōtautahi: room for risk, for gathering, for experiencing.
Callout to Volunteers
INTERxCHANGE
We’re inviting volunteers to help us get TinyFest 2026 to make magic happen at the Bus Interchange, 19–21 June.
This year’s theme, INTERxCHANGE, explores themes of transit, movement, crossings, thresholds, encounters (all info available through the link). Due to the nature of the space and resources, works should be minimal in setup and able to respond to the live environment.
We’re looking for volunteers to join the Tiny Crew across Friday night through to Sunday evening.
You might be:
– ushering audiences
– supporting artists in real time
– collecting koha on the bus
– helping keep the festival flowing
– creating creative responses to performances
This is a chance to be part of a weekend filled with experimental art, creative energy, and meaningful encounters. If that sounds like your kind of weekend, jump aboard.
Fill out the form before 25th of May or email your interest to festival@tinyfest.org and we’ll get back to you.
How to register:
Fill out the form & tell us your availability
Registrations close: 25 May
