llampstands

llampstands is the intersection and meeting ground between two creative powerhouses, Sheldon Rua (Waikato/Tainui, Sapapali'i) and Ehetere Rua (Ngāi Te Rangi, Ngāti Ranginui,
Cornwall).

With professional backgrounds in Street Dance, Youth Work and Mental Health, they are weaving their practices in mediums such as dance, poetry, painting, music and design - to generate work and creative offerings that speak to them and their communities.

As active members of Aotearoa’s street dance community, Sheldon and Ehetere have represented Aotearoa in some of the biggest Street Dance events in the world. Choreographing and dancing for Aotearoa Hip-Hop royalty such as Ladi6 and Tom Scott, and emerging into the local theatre and film
communities.

Their hope is that their work may be in service to us all as ‘a lamp unto your feet’.
