Sara-Jane Elika, PMN Interim
CEO says: “The Pacific Divas National Identity
Tour 2019 is a fantastic opportunity to see seven Pacific
Divas appear on one stage for the first time ever in
Aotearoa. It’s a great platform that celebrates our
unique Pacific music and culture across New Zealand,
showcasing and providing inspiration and pathways for
our young aspiring artists. The Tour supports our
commitment to the education of our young Pasifika peoples
and the realities of the creative arts.”
Betty-Anne Monga from the legendary PolyFonk group Ardijah says: “It’s wonderful that both young and old can enjoy these fabulous Divas and for me to be able to share the stage with them is absolutely fantastic!”
An Educational Masterclass in the creative industry will take place prior to each show during which our Pacific Divas will engage in a Q&A with students about careers in the creative industry, including positive pathways about mental health and well-being.
The Tour includes a Cabaret show in Wellington at 8pm on Friday 29 November at the Wharewaka venue, and a community show in Christchurch at 3pm on Saturday 30 November at Haeata Community Campus.
