Where Memories Sleep

Featuring five of Wellington’s best contemporary dancers, Zaniah Fae, Joesph Tunupopo, Trent Omeri, Montell Nickel and Ooshcon Masseurs (who has also choreographed the work), the performance explores the imagined legend of the Aurora in Antarctica. Each dancer performs multiple roles and is accompanied by Maxwell’s original score inspired by his recordings on the ice.

Both O’Hara and Maxwell teach at Massey University College of Creative Arts and they share a passion for encouraging and mentoring young people. This ethos can be seen in the outstanding young dancers and production creatives they have included in their team to bring their vision to life.
