Brothers & Sisters

The Brothers and Sisters Collective use movement and story to grow empowered & connected individuals and communities.

Founded by real-life brother and sister Luke Hanna and Fran Olds, The Brothers and Sisters Collective started with the dance-theatre production eye in 2013. We have since produced The Fence in 2016 and hosted a myriad of workshops, applying our same creative, embodied approach outside the rehearsal space in our communities. Our workshops engage with a cross-section of our communities, from babies and their parents to young tāne and everyBody. Each workshop is crafted with care and led by experienced facilitators. We continue to produce dance and theatre productions as this is also a vessel for crafting and sharing an artistic experience. Our work speaks to our human nature, our place in the world and the curiosity that leads to our growth. In all our work, whether it’s new mother’s and father’s learning about Dr Emmi Pikler’s respectful approach to parenting, young tāne stepping safely into their physicality or arts practitioners’ devising a new production, we aim to grow the values that guide our work: whānau, kōrero and koha. The Brothers & Sisters Collective is passionate about the significance of art in communities, both locally and globally. With korero, koha and whanau as a foundation, the collective creates original work of high calibre. Growth and development are intrinsic to the creative process for Brothers & Sisters, by investing further in the development of creative skills and experiences for the collective itself and widening the circle by creating learning opportunities for others in the community.

Our tamariki are precious taonga and raising children is one of the most life-changing, incredible, overwhelming experiences available to us in life.
