An award-winning interactive experience of human connection and emotional vulnerability.

This provocative performance invites you into direct contact with on-demand emotional expression and repression.

Feelings ripple through the performer and audience as this dynamic work moves between the personal and the communal.

Winner of the NZ Fringe Touring Award, 'Access' is a living, breathing, ever-changing performance.

It's electric, visceral, playful, confronting, and each interaction is unique.
