Ōtautahi Tiny Performance Festival

Ōtautahi Tiny Performance Festival is a platform for audiences to engage in the work of our experimental and independent artists.

Tiny Festival 2019 brings together a range of performance disciplines from Performance Art to Theatre, Dance, Music and Poetry for a day-long series of unmissable events.

The festival draws together a new generation of physical performance makers from Ōtautahi, Aotearoa and beyond.

We embrace artists that are taking risks, pushing the boundaries and breaking new ground and artists that spark dialogue and ask questions rather than provide answers.

We have curated work that is not necessarily easy but instead, transcends our understanding of ourselves and our world and has the courage to speak to the challenges of our times.

Ōtautahi Tiny Performance Festival is about intimacy, shared experience at close quarters and small moments that can endure long after the performance ends.

The festival is comprised mainly of solos, duos and trios, so as an audience you are getting artists at their most vulnerable and breaking new ground with their practice.

Our shows seat 100 at the most with one of our sessions only taking 12 people per booking. In the day and age of mass production and bigger is better, our festival suggests we place value on the little things.

Ōtautahi Tiny Performance Festival is about heartfelt exchange and shared experience in the light of day and moving together once it gets dark.

Join us for a day of gutsy, personal, political, messy and vulnerable work. It is time to celebrate the experimental, the innovative and the brave.
