Artist statement
'Nafanua' is the working title of my latest film work and this 'work in progress' showing will be of the dance material that I have developed during a series of workshops in 2008 and this forum. 'Nafanua' is a reference to Samoa's warrior goddess. In this work I explore the notions of intergenerational relationships between three generations of Samoan women. Using the Samoan legend of Sina ma Tuna in the foreground, I wish to present a work that is both dance theatre and culturally referenced while presenting my view of contemporary urban Aotearoa NZ.
