Would you like to be part of The Sensorium, dance through NIGHT VISION and help us open this year's Festival? 

We’re looking for participants to take part in The Sensorium, a mass movement performance choreographed by Chloe Loftus.  Amateurs and professionals, experts and the curious - all are welcome to learn this simple choreography and be a part of this magical community event. We only require that you are 14years of age or older, and are available for the evening of NIGHT VISION Thursday 20 October.

The movements will be simple for all to learn! The Sensorium will be performed in unison as we travel together through the streets of Whakatū Nelson. This project is fully accessible, with the material adaptable to suit every body.

Rehearsals will be held at Fairfield House on Thurs 6 Oct, Tues 18 Oct and Wed 19 Oct - please sign up via the button below, or contact Chloe via email if you have questions.
