Pōneke Festival of Contemporary Dance 2024

1st – 7th July

The Pōneke Festival of Contemporary Dance is a new initiative from Te Auaha and Footnote New Zealand Dance. We aim to increase the visibility and vibrancy of contemporary dance in Pōneke. We want to support and bring together those who make and move, to strengthen the community and create a new platform for dance in Wellington.

Whether you’re a recent graduate, an emerging independent artist, a company, organisation, or a more established artist, you are encouraged to apply. These opportunities have early career artists and companies top-of-mind, but larger organisations may apply too. We acknowledge that it’s tough for everyone at the moment. If you have a cohort of like-minded artists in your life with whom you’d like to share studio or performance space, feel free to join forces and submit a group proposal.

APPLICATIONS FOR THE 2024 FESTIVAL ARE NOW CLOSED
