This one-on-one walking tour activates your senses and encourages deep connections with the surrounding art and architecture. As dancers guide you through the new Toi Art galleries at Te Papa Tongarewa, even the simple act of opening and closing your eyes becomes a revelation. Immediate, personal, physical – this immersive movement tour will transform the way you experience art.
This work has been commissioned for Te Papa’s collection, as their first intangible dance acquisition. Developed and choreographed by Olive Bieringa of BodyCartography Project, delivered by Kosta Bogoievski, Josie Archer, and Footnote dance company.
The work went on loan to the Len Lye Center in New Plymouth October 5 & 6, 2019 with performers Otto Ramstad and Olive Bieringa and Auckland Art Gallery October 12-18 with performers Kosta Bogieksi & Josie Archer.
