When Sina awakes on a mystical, ancient beach, she has no idea how she got there. How will she find her way back? What is her connection to Masina?
Frozen Light were invited to Auckland by Touch Compass, New Zealand’s leading inclusive performing arts company, to collaborate on a pioneering new dance theatre work for audience members with profound and multiple learning disabilities – the first of its kind in Aotearoa.
The two companies also partnered with Takapuna’s Wilson School, to help the performers learn how Frozen Light engages with audience members with PMLD.
The production was originally presented in a development showing at The Rose Centre to an invited audience of people with PMLD and their support workers and families, as well as young people from The Wilson Centre.
