MANIFESTA: Free Workshop Series
MANIFESTA invites you to learn new craft skills and join us in co-making the masks, heads, crowns and estandartes (textile banners) for our winter parade.

🎊 This series of workshops is part of the Community Choreographic Project (CCP). This year, the project MANIFESTA will bring a party-protest performance to move the grounds of the Climate Action Campus (CAC) thinking about the collective "party-body" as a political one: a body in potential, a body in protest. Taking inspiration from carnaval culture from around the world and Ōtautahi’s rave scene, we will be presenting our version of a winter parade highlighting the climate crisis as the focus of our protest/party.

The invited choreographer, Janaína Moraes, is a Brazilian artist based in New Zealand since 2020, where she has been growing her research on invitation poétics and practices of coexistence.

  • "I am super excited to see ÅŒtautahian rave scene meeting Latina carnaval energy and to co-make moments of raving and raging through joy and collective dream-action!" -  Janaína Moraes

For 6 weeks, the Climate Action Campus will be home to craft, music and dance workshops open to the community.
