Manawa Hau

By Jess Feast, Cathy Livermore and Rob Thorne
2020

 

Manawa Hau experiments with the connective potential of our humanity through VR technology. Activating their practices of hauora, Cathy Livermore (dancer), Rob Thorne (taonga puoro musician), and Jess Feast (director) invite you in to a sacred void weaving movement, sound and presence to introduce you to the energetic centres of your manawa line; pū manawa, to manawa to whatumanawa. This kaupapa represents the importance of connection and flow within ourselves to uplift mana moana within.  To heal the world around us, we must begin with reconnecting within, and to dive deep beneath the surface of our own presence in the world.
