Latai Taumoepeau makes live-art-work. Her faiva (body-centred practice) is from her homelands, the Island Kingdom of Tonga and her birthplace Sydney, land of the Gadigal people. She mimicked, trained and un-learned dance, in multiple institutions of learning, starting with her village, a suburban church hall, the nightclubs and a university. Her faivā (performing art) centres Tongan philosophies of relational space and time; cross- pollinating ancient and everyday temporal practice to make visible the impact of climate crisis in the Pacific. She conducts urgent environmental movements and actions to assist transformation in Oceania. Latai engages in the socio-political landscape of Australia with sensibilities in race, class and the female body politic; committed to bringing the voice of unseen communities to the frangipani-less foreground. In the near future she will return to her ancestral home and continue the ultimate faiva of sea voyaging and celestial navigation before she transforms into ancestor.
