very excited to announce a new work in development with dear friends and collaborators @josieel @kostabogoievski @gabriella.girl.gilbert @i_jonathon_ @_____cello__xo it combines two things I love very much, LIVE PERFORMANCE & ROCK CLIMBING. We’ve been brewing this one for a while, across time and continents and now we head to Ōtautahi for a week of dreaming, climbing, creating. Many thanks to @creativenz for making this development possible and to @uprising.chch @te_waa_the_space for hosting us across the week. Watch this space!!
