AWE+ | Jossi Wells: Sport, Music and Nature, 4:15pm

For this AWE+ Free Event we are thrilled to welcome legendary local skier Jossi Wells for a conversation around how his movement on snow becomes a physical expression of his connection to nature.

In this open dialogue with AWE Artistic Director Benjamin Baker, they’ll explore the parallels between skiing and music, how Jossi’s dual pursuits shaped one another growing up, and how both art forms have helped him access the elusive flow state.

Presented between the two performances of Horizon at Te Atamira, Queenstown.

Free entry.
