The SaVĀge LAB is a Performance Space initiative created for Liveworks led by Australian – and New Zealand-based Moana artists; Kilia Pahulu, Rameka Tamaki, Salvador Brown, Sela Vai. Facilitated by leading Tagata Moana artists Rosanna Raymond (New Zealand/Samoa) and Latai Taumoepeau (Australia/Tonga), this project explores collaborative cross-cultural exchange in an artist-led environment maintaining the mana of Moana-based practices and protocols. The SaVĀge LAB unfolds across several stages of development in 2022, with a view to an outcome across Australia and New Zealand in 2023.
