CASE STUDY:

STRATEGIC PARTNER, AUCKLAND LIVE

Helaina Keeley and Chye-Ling reconnected in 2025 at the PANNZ arts market. Rekindling their passion to collaborate with diverse companies who create bold new works, Genuine and Stable was programmed at Auckland Live’s venue the Herald Theatre for later in the year, providing venue support, subsidies and holistic support to get the word out and make an impact. It was a resounding success and the reviews were raving.
