Let Loose!

Let Loose! is a participatory experience that allows people to live out their superstar fantasy in a non-judgemental environment. Participants step into the space and have the choice to dress up both themselves and performance artist Tane Te Pakeke-Patterson. They then select a song to then sing, dance or lip sync their heart out to.

Let Loose! is open to people of all ages and experiences. It’s for those who love to sing like no one’s listening, dance like no one’s watching or anyone that just wants to have a jam!
