Tempo Dance Festival presents

exhaust

EXHAUST explores relentlessness, sensitivity and connection through sound and space. Ricocheting through a carpark, EXHAUST dances on the threshold of visible and invisible borders of a body, in an in/convenient attempt to warm a cold place.

Drawing on years of experience across Europe and Aotearoa, Celia Hext and Olivia McGregor continue their body-based exploration of the human, persistently demanding to queer the form.

Choke the engine. Slam the door. Breathe. You have (perpetually) arrived.

Celia Hext + Olivia McGregor

LOCATION:

This event is at Karangahape Road Car Park, 24 Mercury Lane, Auckland CBD.

We will be gathering the audience at the entrance off Mercury Lane between 6pm-6.30pm (event starts 6.30pm).

Please make yourself known to the Tempo team when you arrive to have your ticket checked.

This is what the location of the venue looks like. Please enter through these boom gates and gather with us at the entrance to the carpark before 6.30pm.

MORE INFORMATION:

How To Get There:

We recommend getting the train to Karanga-a-Hape Station (Mercury Lane exit).

As you exit the station, cross the road and turn right down Mercury Lane. The entrance to the carpark is on your left through the boom gate. You should be able to see our team.

The Performance:

This event is unseated and audiences are welcome to move around the space. Please be conscious of the performers and other audience members, and make way for them to move through the space as need be.

Latecomers:

Latecomers are welcome, up to 6.40pm only.

Weather:

The weather is looking clear for Wednesday. The gathering place is not under cover, and the venue is covered but not heated. Please dress appropriately.

Access:

There will be a limited number of chairs for those who need them.
The space is accessible for wheelchair users via a lift. If you have any access needs, please let our team know.

Bathrooms:

As this is a non-traditional space, there are no bathrooms available within the venue. The closest public bathrooms are on Mercury Lane or in the Karanga-a-Hape Station (Mercury Lane entrance).

Make A Night Of It:

If you want to make a night of it, please join us for Atamira Dance Company, choreographed by Oli Mathiesen’s YMCĀ at Q Theatre (8pm) or Sefa Tunupopo’s SEKI across at Basement Theatre (8pm).

There will be time to walk down or jump on the train to Te Waihorotiu Station.
