With development support from Creative NZ, 'Te Hā Te Kā' filmic series emerged as a heartfelt project, comprising six dance films and a series of digital prints showcasing acclaimed artists Taane Mete and Nancy Wijohn. Our goal was to authentically capture our experiences as women, creators in the realms of dance, film, and theatre, while drawing from our background as physical therapists. We believe that the narratives held within the body are the essence of our storytelling power. Through an independent stream, our films have garnered acclaim and been included in festivals worldwide.
