Chor:us Collective present - Just the worst time of year for a revolution

Originally we found ourselves discussing things that mattered to us, which then grew into ideas with potential for project development. As four recent Unitec performing arts graduates, two from contemporary dance, two from acting, we united with a common interest in expanding our understandings of live performance. chor:us now serves as a platform to enable the discovery of one's own process of art making through an interdisciplinary way of working.

Four recent Unitec graduates, Kerrily Aitchison, Tania Crow, Madeleine Hyland and Rachael Dyson-McGregor come together for the first time as chor:us collective, performing their work in September.
Three New Zealanders and an Australian tousle with isolation, identity and desire. Rich family and cultural histories collide with an army of shoes as Shakespearean text is spat out of the cupboards. Magic and reality intertwine two disciplines in an intimate setting. Hawke Sea Scout's Hall in Cox's Bay provides a stage on stilts. Beneath the audience, a tide is moving.
