And just like that, week one of Nohonga is done! ✨ Our artists have reached the midway point of their residence - time flies when you’re having fun! 🤩 Here’s a little more about Brydie and their Nohonga kaupapa…
Brydie Colquhoun is a freelance movement artist and choreographer. Brydie’s connection to te taiao & te moana form the spiritual grounding of her creative practice. Her kaupapa is rooted in a belief that the way we move through daily life profoundly shapes our hauora, she is committed to leading with kindness in all that she does.
A graduate of the New Zealand School of Dance (2012), Brydie has spent over a decade weaving her artistry through the fabric of Aotearoa’s contemporary dance community, from rural New Zealand communities, schools, and prisons, to international stages such as Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival and showcases in New York. In 2024, Brydie was honoured with a place on the New Zealand School of Dance’s Distinguished Graduates board, and 2025 marked her choreographic debut at Te Pou theatre, “Rongo Whakapā”.
