A couple of months ago a group of Asian New Zealand street dancers banded together to create a moving image dance cover to "The Wandering Songstress (天涯歌女)." This project was called Horizons, as it explores how Asian New Zealanders got to where they are today as someone before them followed their dreams and pursued a certain ‘horizon’ of a distant land. Horizons explores Asian migrant themes in Aotearoa NZ and looks at personal journeys through the expression of street dance, visual imagery and music whilst acknowledging and remembering those who came before the. Joe spoke to Diana Hu, part of Street Talk and the Horizons project, about this piece and ties in with exploring one's identity.
