Please book a place for these performances so we can be in touch with further details and so we can ensure everyone is there who wants to be before beginning our performance journeys
Feather Messages: the ones we take for granted holds space for intimate conversation between birds and humans and trees. We invite you to gather with us at dawn and/or dusk for the transition from dark to light and light to dark. We will be actively listening and passing on messages from the birds/bards as desiring, as shining, as whistling, as journeying with the more-than-human world.
This performance project continues the ongoing collaborative inquiry of Forest Vicky Kapo (Te Āti Awa, Ngāti Raukawa) residing on Dja Dja Wurrung land Central Victoria, and val smith (Pākehā) at the edges of Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland on Ngāti Whātua o Kaipara whenua. They have been exploring together what it means to be transgender and migrating between lands, places and cultural spaces since 2020. Engaging a collaboration of Māori/Pākehā, Indigenous/settler-coloniser, and human/nonhuman their work is energised critically and creatively by the waters and winds that connect Aotearoa and so called Australia.

Pawa runs on the contributions of our event goers and public funding.
We believe performance art should be assible to everyone, thats why majority of our shows are open to the public, however if you have funds to spare please consider contributing.
