PERFORMING ARTISTS
From street 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.

Check here for other forms.
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.
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?
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.
Thanks to you, our incredible creative community, Splore is known for its fresh line-up of stunning performers animating every nook and cranny of Tāpapakanga’s endless beach and stunning landscape. We invite you to tell us about your unique performance art, your insane talent and raw genius that we can add to the unforgettable experiences your Splore audience know they can find nowhere else in Aotearoa.
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.
You may not receive a response or feedback from the Director if she doesn’t think you're right for Splore this time. She’s unlikely to 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.
