“Our activism is lived and learned, socially I interact in circles that free the mind and liberate the soul and
work together to spread a shared sentiment of freedom and self determination” - Manoa Teaiwa
Picture
Mānoa Teaiwa
Born in Suva’s Colonial War Memorial hospital to Stuart Erasito and Teresia Teaiwa, they spent most of
their adolescence in Wellington New Zealand, brought up by Professor Teresia Teaiwa and step dad
Sean Mallon.

Family is very important to them and they have been greatly influenced by their mother and her two
sisters who all have dance backgrounds and both became doctors in philosophy and medicine.
Much of their work is co-creative and influenced by their Hip-hop and Vogue background.
‘I am an ‘existential kind’ so I look forward to the feedback I receive from the work-shopping process’
They are currently working toward the 3rd installation of the work ‘Stolen stories’ originally produced by
FAFSWAG in 2019.

Their practice really is about dance in the broader sense, evoking emotion and critical thought, giving
people a platform to let their bodies express themselves in response to an artistic prose, this,
attempting to transduce audiences and even challenging audiences intellectual vocabulary and creating
a meaningful exchange
