Te Tauihu Portable Stadium is a transferable performance space for nurturing and developing performance art in Wakatu/Nelson.
Performances at the Stadium are:
Informal and relaxed
By new and developing artists that have not really performed in public, or by artists getting back on the horse
Short sets (~20 minutes for music, 5 minutes comedy/poetry)
5-8 acts
A total of ~3 hours
A focus on original work
Imagine a short, informal performance by 6-8 developing artists in an intimate space that gives them an opportunity to perform in public, possibly for the first time...
...that's what we're trying to create with Te Tauihu Portable Stadium.
Bands - Solo Acts - Comedy - dance - poetry
