The Performance Arcade is a line of seven shipping containers, providing a series of presentation spaces for selected performance projects. Built on Wellington’s Taranaki Wharf, this unique event will feature performances and installations by a range of New Zealand artists and designers. A performance and events schedule is programmed over the three days of The Arcade, bringing together live music, short films, performance artworks, and public discussions.
This innovative event is curated by award winning director/designer Sam Trubridge, who will be collaborating with a cohort of Wellington performance artists. The vision for this event is to combine the early fairground with the conventions of contemporary performance art. The events and installations reflect the history of Wellington’s harbour as a shipping port – and the recent change of direction, in which the waterfront has transformed itself into a public playground.
