Professor Emeritus Andrew Garrison from the University of Texas at Austin joined Te Kaupeka Ako | Faculty of Education earlier this year as part of UC’s Canterbury Fellowship.
He is a documentary filmmaker who specialises in community engagement filmmaking and during his time here has taught into our classes and guided students in producing documentaries (audio, film, and photo) about their community engagement experiences.
You’re invited to watch his awarded documentary, Trash Dance!
The film follows a choreographer who creates a production with the Austin, Texas Sanitation Company.
The film has a one hour runtime, and will be followed by a Q&A.
Please come along for a night of creativity and inspiration!
