Teater Ruang (Sun 23 Feb)
In Solo (Surakarta), Indonesia, there is an artist who is colouring the world of international theatre and dance: Helmi Prasetyo.
Helmi, a long-standing collaborator of Lemi Ponifasio (MAU) and a member of theatre company Teater Ruang, will travel to New Zealand as part of Te Ata’s development and public programmes.
Helmi brings to Te Ata his specialised methodology of movement, known only to Helmi and those he has taught. This exploration of motion comes from a life-long commitment to the seriousness of art; the discipline, intensity and loyalty that underpin the work of Teater Ruang.
Helmi's movement has been seen within both theatre and film, including his work within Tempest: Without a Body, Le Savali, and I Am, directed by Lemi Ponifasio.
