​We are thrilled that ANNIKA WAGENHOFF will be coming to the MIX to teach us West African Dancing.

Annika grew up in Germany and moved to Dunedin in 2007 to study where she discovered and fell in love with traditional and contemporary West African dance. In 2015, she joined Āwherika, a high-energy West African drum and dance performance group with members from all over New Zealand, and has performed and taught extensively since then.

What she loves the most about teaching, performing, and collaborating with drummers is the connecting with people, creating community and sharing the joy and positive energy that dancing and drumming is bringing into our lives. BRING IT ON!!

​The vibrant Amanda Dennis has recently devised an innovative new program called THINKING AND LEARNING BY DRAWING. We are very lucky to have her share it with us at the MIX. This workshop is one for all ages.

She explains that by understanding your cognitive processes you will be able to draw what you see and become a self-motivated and creative thinker. Teaching in this way can really help anyone who has any sort of learning block. She can help you focus the relevant theme and content that interests you, and help you find your own creative voice. Magic!

We are thrilled that the multi-talented RICK LOOS will be joining us in the HEALING SPACE at the festival.

Rick uses a combination of acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping and Tui Na (Chinese medical massage) to help the body's internal organs to correct imbalances in their digestion, absorption, and energy production activities. The improved energy and biochemical balance produced by acupuncture results in stimulating the body's healing abilities, and in promoting physical and emotional well-being. Acupuncture also eases pain and reduces inflammation.

​Drug Harm Reduction

Finn invites us to have an open discussion about drug use in our community and discuss ways we can reduce risks involved using evidence and compassion. How can we support each other in keeping ourselves safe? What specific substances or combinations are potentially dangerous? What do recent trends indicate might be in circulation this summer? What tools or methods are available for all of this? This is an ADULTS ONLY workshop and we feel a discussion that is long overdue.

​In addition to his Shamanic Dance workshop, we are also pleased to have Bob Hillary bringing his music to the Village Stage on New Years Eve. Bob is a folk singer-songwriter from the UK, who makes music that is Earthy, funky & positive, with a strong world music influence. He plays a fusion of folk, reggae, soul & world music blended into one sound.

He uses stomp box to make his beats, his wife sings beautiful deep harmonies and also plays percussion adding to the sound. He uses loops and dubs to fill out the folky sound adding a reggae dimension to it.
The sound is full, intricate & mellow dancey.

​Tsūa - a solo project of multi-instrumentalist, producer and improviser Dan Antell (earth). Once described as a "musical madman channeling divine love - alchemicalization of light and dark...!?!". From singer songwriter post-folkrock to digital electric eclectic evolving soundscapes with musical inspiration drawn from all over space and time who knows what may come out. Now is our time - polarity transformed into both and more. "Healing, light in the darkness, harmony in the storm. Now, to gift what has been given"
