CREATE partner series webinar #2

What are the Chances? Possibilities of partnership during crisis

Professor Peter O’Connor began working with artist Ginny Thorner as they developed work in Christchurch following the deadly earthquake in 2011. The partnership led to a professional Theatre In Education Company that worked in the most quake affected parts of the city. As schools returned during COVID-19 this year, they partnered again to create dance and theatre work for children. The partnership also led to O’Connor working with children impacted by the terror attack in Christchurch in 2019. This webinar considers the nature of a long collaboration and how it has shaped both academic and artistic outcomes.
