Cuba Dupa Programme

Sunday 29th March, 4:15-4:35pm, Glover Park

Sunday 29th March, 5:20-5:40pm, Hannah Courtyard

Sound in Motion is a daring, fully improvised performance bringing dance and live music together in real time. A CubaDupa collision of three Wellington icons – WIDance, Orchestra Wellington, and Footnote – this work unfolds differently every moment, shaped by spontaneous exchange between musicians and dancers. Expect an exciting, unrepeatable experience where sound drives movement and movement reshapes sound.

Head over to the CubaDupa website to read more about the festival and find the full programme, 2026 merch, and more!
