A huge thank you to @letilamitchell for the opportunity to represent @rakopasefika at @performingartsnetworknz PANNZ! 💛✨ This past week has been an incredible journey—witnessing amazing new shows, connecting with inspiring artists and industry leaders, and engaging with creatives from across the world, including the USA, Canada, Australia, Korea, Indonesia, and beyond. 🌍🎭

It was so special reconnecting with people I haven’t seen in years and making new friendships along the way. The creativity and talent on display were beyond inspiring—what an exciting time for the arts! 🎶🔥

Congrats to my friends for some incredible pitches—it was beautiful to see all the hard work come to life. The energy and power of creatives coming together was immeasurable.

Some fun memories from this week: ✨ Learning Te Aroha in NZ Sign Language 🫶🏽 ✨ Listening to 1-minute pitches that were so captivating 🎤 ✨ The blessing of watching shows morning and night 🎭 ✨ The adventure of not knowing who you’d meet next and where the conversation would go! 💫 ✨ End-of-day conference debriefs with friends—sharing what we’d learned in each seminar and how we could apply it moving forward. 💡

Feeling so grateful for this experience and all the conversations, connections, and opportunities that have come from it. Till next time! 🙌🏽
