KO AU is returning to Basement Theatre!
KO AU 2024 will be a three-day mini festival that will platform Projekt Team's fundamental pillars of freestyle, battle, and showcase. KO AU will be kicking off Matariki by showcasing our diverse cultures through the artistry of street dance.
Day 1
"PAREAU" is a freestyle showcase where different dancers will be tasked with creating brand-new pieces right in front of the audience. With only limited knowledge of elements beforehand such as music and staging, this promises to be an evening full of surprises.

Day 2
"KAINGA" is a battle event dedicated to community. It is open for anyone who wants to come and be a part of a village/tribe to battle and represent! An after party will follow for all people to celebrate!
Director: John Vaifale | Creative: Josh Mitikulena | Runtime: 120 minutes plus after party till late
Day 3
"TOMUMU" is a new rendition of the Ko Au showcase. This iteration will show a collaborative effort between Projekt Team and talented young dancers from high schools across Tāmaki Makaurau.
