Ōtautahi Event Page ELECTRIC BODIES
In March 2026, PAWA and TINY 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.
All events will take place at Cloisters Studio, The Art Centre Christchurch.
(2 worcester blvd, Christchurch City Centre)
