PERFORMING ARTISTS
From large-scale shows to solo acts, immersive performance to extraordinary aerials, dance, acrobatics, parades and participation, we need you to blow the minds of our up-for-it audience.
Performers does NOT include music acts, bands, dj’s, wellness practitioners or workshop facilitators. Check here for other forms.
With hundreds of acres of festival site to roam, an outdoor ‘street theatre’ stage and our custom 1500-capacity performance venue, with a covered stage approx 8m x 8m and 7m height, capable of aerial acts, this can be your performance playground!
Are you an individual or part of a collective with brand new or existing work, ready to present or adapt for Splore? Or do you know of an exceptional performer who we should approach to take part?
Always excited to see an ever-increasing line-up of stunning performers animate every nook and cranny of Tāpapakanga Park, we invite you to add your colour and craziness, your insane talent and raw, genius edges to the unforgettable experiences that our Splore audience will share with their friends for years to come.
Do you run a quirky, clowny, kooky or theatre/dance/performance participation session that Splorers would love to have a go at? We’ve had, and loved; twerking, boylesque, kung-fu, clowning and more.
We are keen to hear about work and ideas that can be performed in a variety of locations, that look stunning on or above stage, or move around our site, encouraging the audience to engage and participate.
Applications are open now until 31 October but the performance director recommends you apply early. The programme fills up quickly
Please do submit visuals as well as written descriptions/links to your acts, plus your tech requirements. Please don’t expect to hear from the Director. If she doesn’t think you are right for Splore, she may not have time to respond due to the volume of submissions, but thanks you very much for your art and for applying. The Director WILL get back to you to negotiate and discuss further if she thinks you will be awesome for Splore.
