SA/MOA by Lila Meleisea, Ten Days On The Island
Premiering in March 2025
A truly hybrid project, SA/MOA tells of Oceanic resilience and relationship as Tasmanian Samoan, Lila Meleisea, expands her music and community-based practice to roles as visual artist, artistic director and curator.
SA/MOA takes two simultaneous forms; a performance/exhibition space and a space for knowledge-sharing and community.
Produced by Sinsa Mansell.
SA/MOA: Resonance Workshop
During this workshop, Natalia will share the "resonance" practice she has developed over the past ten years. This practice has helped participants connect on a deeper level, discovering their inner song in harmony with trees, plants, and the natural world. Everyone is welcome, and participants will be guided through the steps of the process.
