What if we remembered 

What if we remembered 

How to dream

What if we remembered 

What will happen next 

What if we remembered 

What carried us here

What if we remembered 

We made carrier bags first, not weapons

What if we remembered 

The 25 years before, the 25 years to come

What if we remembered paerangi - 

to stick feathers in our hair

What if we remembered 

Today, now, the potential

What if we could actually dream tomorrow, what then, 

Would we put our head above the parapet, 

Would we reach for the horizon? 

What if we believed, really felt in our embodied selves, 

Our embodied us-ness, that tomorrow could be different to today?

What then, would we make? 

Would we offer? would we welcome? 

What is strolling under our skin?

Tomorrow's bodies, tomorrow's ideas

Interjecting into today.

Tempo Dance Festival 2026. 

A platform, 

A party, 

A provocation to move you.
