Follow: Immersive Movement Tour with BodyCartography Project

Experience a one-on-one walking tour that activates your senses and encourages deep connections with the surrounding art and architecture. As dancers guide you through Gallery spaces, even the simple act of opening and closing your eyes becomes a revelation. Immediate, personal, physical – this immersive movement tour will transform the way you experience art.

This event was developed and choreographed by Olive Bieringa of BodyCartography project and is led by Josie Archer and Kosta Bogoievski. It is supported by Creative New Zealand and was commissioned as part of the collection of Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, 2017.
