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.
-
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.
UPCOMING
part of INTERxCHANGE 2025/6
In March 2026, PAWA and TINYFEST join forces to bring artists on an INTERxCHANGE between Ōtautahi and Tāmaki Makaurau in a series of performative experiments called ELECTRIC BODIES.
With the provocations of sound as body and body as sound, the artists are invited to experiment with the intersections between sound and body as a driving force. When sound is not the outcome, but the instigator of an action, in what ways can sound provoke new patterns of embodiment, attention, or resistance?
Powerful, magnetic, dynamic, rousing, voltaic, CHAOTIC, CONSUMING, CALLING YOU.
The curated artists will come together for two wonderful weekends of performances across both cities. Alongside the performances, audiences are invited deeper into the artists world by hands-on community workshops led by the visiting artists.
PAWA x TinyFest is a cross-festival INTERxCHANGE part of our Tiny Community Activations 2025/6.
ELECTRIC BODIES is an invitation to gather, witness, and be ELECTRIFIED.
