In March 2026, PAWA and TINYFEST join forces to bring artists on an INTERxCHANGE between Ōtautahi and Tāmaki Makaurau in a series of performative experiments called ELECTRIC BODIES.

With the provocations of sound as body and body as sound, the artists are invited to experiment with the intersections between sound and body as a driving force. When sound is not the outcome, but the instigator of an action, in what ways can sound provoke new patterns of embodiment, attention, or resistance?

Powerful, magnetic, dynamic, rousing, voltaic,
CHAOTIC, CONSUMING,
CALLING YOU.

Two nights of performance and one day of workshops.

Presenting Artists:
Josiah Morgan + Dominic Griffham in collaboration with Dispendio Grupo (BR), Ivan Lupi, Sarah Elsworth + Anita Clark, Alan Schacher (AU), Antonia Barnett-McIntosh & Rachel Ruckstuhl-Mann
