Viva Eclectika by NZAA Inc.

Viva Eclectika is Aotearoa’s Intercultural Dance and Music Biennial Challenge, organised by the New Zealand-Asia Association NZAA Inc. to bridge cultures through dance and art.
The event first began in 1999 and has been successfully running as a performance showcase of the best and brightest talents in our dance community. Viva Eclectika offers communities a platform to recreate dance/music which fuses aspects from their own culture with that of at least one other different culture to forge positive relations in the community.
 
The aims of the event are:
• To promote unity, goodwill, and understanding, and to nurture positive race relations in the general community of New Zealand through intercultural dance and music.
• To enrich the New Zealand-Asian cultural experience through a fusion of Asian dance and music with New Zealand’s diverse cultures.
