A video showing highlights from the NZ and Australian residencies for Akala and Hip Hop Shakespeare has been loaded online today. You can view the video online here.
The second year of the PIYN programme involved the composition of a live show by NZ composers TaayNinh and Submariner. The writing was done in collaboration with UK guests Charlie Dark and Urban Soul Orchestra, and included a number of new and established NZ artists including Rio Hemopo and Riki Gooch, Isaac Aesili, Amber Stephens, Luciana Camargo, Alda Rezende and Le Nuong.
The Show was a great success and an inspiring example of intercultural dialogue and diversity working in international arts. The project and 3 NZ shows was filmed by Peter Takapuna and the footage was edited by Rebecca Gin.
