An innovative platform that brings together community dancers and artists to collaborate on professionally choreographed pieces in unique, site-specific locations around our city. Inspired by the carnaval traditions and the vibrant energy of Ōtautahi’s rave scene, MANIFESTA is a party-protest uniting diverse communities through movement, performance, and activism. Choreographed by Brazilian-born, New Zealand-based artist, Janaína Moraes.
Tiny Fest is proud to be commissioned to deliver this year’s Community Choreographic Project — MANIFESTA. Featuring a dynamic cast of 15+ community dancers, MANIFESTA is more than just a performance — inspired by the Brazilian carnival culture, this is a collective call to action, a protest, and a creative uprising. Choreography by art gatherer Janaína Moraes and Sound Design by the electrifying Bea Gladding (aka Mr Meaty Boy)
