This episode deals with questions of ethical relationships between performers and institutions, festivals, curators, directors and choreographers. It addresses the protection of the performer from real physical risks as well as questions of psychological resilience and how health and safety concerns can impact on artwork before moving into the history of poor labour relations and sometimes outright abuse of performers in the field of dance.

Moana Nepia introduces Dr Mason Durie’s model Te Whare Tapa Wha which was developed in 1982. This encapsulates a Maori view of health and wellness and has four dimensions: taha wairua (spiritual health), taha hinengaro (mental health), taha tinana (physical health) and taha whanau (family health). These four dimensions are represented by the four walls of a house. Each wall is necessary to the strength and symmetry of the building.
