FERAL is a provocative R21 event focused on decolonizing sexuality, celebrating sexual expression and encouraging reconnection between the body and the whenua.

'Imprint' is a performance artwork incorporating dance and body paint. Dancer Matte Roffe and abstract artist Sian Evans merge together and explore movement through artistic expression and its possibilities. They move through choreographed and improvised sensual movement, with emotional and personal vulnerability from the fervent gaze of outsiders.

Leading the dance performance, Matte Roffe showcases a raw yet delicate, accosting yet liberating piece. Exploring the arts through movement, unveiling the true state of the body in the current world, reminding us that there is so much more than just flesh and bones.
