Pacific Dance NZ Festival is proud to present MOANA 23, a showcase featuring a lineup of talented artists and the esteemed Choreographic Lab Cohort for 2023. This one-night-only event will take place in the Rangatira at Q Theatre.

The MOANA 23 showcase will transport the audience on a journey through diverse styles and narratives, celebrating the vibrant dance traditions of the Pacific. From contemporary movements to traditional choreography, the performances promise to be a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Pacific Islands and its global influence.

dance artists at this year’s Pacific Dance Festival. The MOANA showcase alongside the 2023 choreographic lab cohort promises not to disappoint, and we can’t wait for Tamaki audiences to experience these emerging and diverse Pacific talent”
