Rodney Bell was paralysed from the chest down after a motorbike accident 31 years ago. Afterwards, he took to the stage, his wheelchair becoming a fluid extension of his body. Bell reveals his journey from principal dancer in California’s AXIS Dance Company to a devastating period of homelessness in San Francisco, culminating in his homecoming in Aotearoa in New Zealand. This life changing experience inspired the creation of Meremere.
Meremere has won multiple awards including Actor of the Year, Director of the Year, Sound Design of the Year, and Excellence Award for AV Design at the Wellington Theatre Awards.
Meremere was developed in collaboration with director Malia Johnston’s performance design company Movement of the Human (MOTH).
