Electric Bodies

In March 2026, PAWA and TINYFEST 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. 

The curated artists will come together for two wonderful weekends of performances across both cities. Alongside the performances, audiences are invited deeper into the artists world by hands-on community workshops led by the visiting artists.

ELECTRIC BODIES is an invitation to gather, witness, and be ELECTRIFIED.
