Water Locale
Huatoki River and Tasman Sea
The Choreographers
Connor Kelly
Audience Site
Rock Quarry behind prison and walk down to the sea on the walkway
History of site and related water issues
Rocks were cut for the prison so the natural environment has been altered, and all the rivers run from Mt Taranaki through dairy farms that ruin soil absorption into the water, therefore
causing damage to the rivers.
The Performance
Simple improv structure with buckets, so that we can take that water to the sea that accumulates in the buckets. I used “Wade into the Water” as the music for moving down to the sea for the final community dance.
Directions to site of the performance
Either enter the Huatoki Walkway at the Mill road entrance or Carrington Road entrance or walk up the walkway from the Mill parking lot or lower Carrington Road. You can not miss the quarry.
