“Foodstuffs NZ Partnership Awards 2024”
What a night and what a partnership it was!

It is such an honour to be entrusted with a brief and to bring an event concept to life. We are so grateful to be able to create these unique experiences!
Thank you Tom and Stacy for believing in the concept, our creative team and for being so open to new ideas.
Encompassing the brief, we created an opening performance concept to interpret the movement and dance of water along our braided rivers of Waitaha.
The movement style of tutting inspired by Sadeck Waff, was designed to interpret the dynamics, the flow and the weave of water along our braided rivers- symbolic to the weave of community and connection which in turn to speaks to the beautiful architectural design of Ōtautahi‘s landmark gathering place -Te Pae Convention Centre- The Rivers Room.

An incredible partnership with Chris MacMillan and to graphically enhance the dancers movement and concept graphics on the 360 room surround screens, with David Breenan , the amazing AV techs, event managers and event staff , and MC extraordinaire. Thank you team 💕It is an honour to work with such industry professionals.
Huge credit to our EPIC
Choreographers and Ali Rossiter.
It was an honour to invite ChCh dancers to partner with our Epic Performers from St Margaret’s College -

Thank you performers for your incredible commitment to your art! No one sees the many hours behind the scenes to get these lines and counts perfect! 💕
Thank you to for embracing the quality and movement concept in your solo choreography and performance- powerful!
