“Wellington has a strong history of creating and valuing risky, innovative and quality art, and we are delighted to be supporting the next generation to contribute their ideas and talent to the city.”
-Felicity Birch, Arts Programme Advisor

Not just your average Fringe show; Incognito and Subsequent Slavery explore the world that our young artists are emerging into and confronts the audience with a new way of seeing our environment, in a way that only brand new eyes can do. What this leaves you with is something powerfully courageous, gently groovy, delicately beautiful, and insightfully human.

Toi Poneke are proud to present the inaugural Dance Residency Show, as part of a new activation initiative at Toi Pōneke Arts Centre, designed to support Wellington’s fresh new dance talent in developing their creative and professional work. The recipients of the 2017 dance residency are choreographers Holly Newsome and Samuel Hall, and producer Brynne Tasker-Poland.

Subsequent Slavery by Samuel Hall

We are all trying to get somewhere, we are all trying to fulfil our expectations of life. But how are these expectations effecting our state of mind? What would life be like without expectations? What happens if we stop for a moment and allow ourselves to be imperfect? If we let the distant rumble come closer and rattle our bones. If we allowed our lives to fall apart and instead of feeling like a failure, would we feel more human than we ever have before?

You may have noticed that bus seats are tragically zingy, bright and dramatically patterned. This is because they don't want the public to see just how dirty they really are. A lot like the seats, never do we show all of our true colours, usually there's one for every occasion. With this I give you something simply entertaining, but not necessarily necessary.
