Tempo Dance Festival presents Putiputi
As part of Tempo #GoingDigital 2020

Creating #GoingDigital to support artists and provide audiences with the same outstanding calibre of dance works from their homes, Tempo is proud to announce their third and final season - Putiputi runs free and online from Monday 9 November.

Tempo became the first arts festival in the world to offer a year-round programme entirely free of charge, as well as being an early adopter of the shift online as New Zealand’s first arts festival to go fully digital in response to COVID-19 on 4 May. Regardless of the immense challenges faced by the performing arts sector throughout 2020, Tempo has produced a world-class programme of digital dance works encompassing film, live-streamed performance, dance classes and workshops, archival screenings, book readings, online dance photography and painting exhibitions, artist interviews and dance documentary.

The entire festival has been hosted across Tempo’s website and social media platforms, accessible entirely for free via devices.
