World Wide Web consists of talented artists and students from UNITEC dance and University of Auckland Dance Studies. World Wide Web looks at 6 degrees of separation and the concept of connecting the world through 6 connecting networks.
We pass people day by day who we have indirect connections with and never realise this as we all walk our own journeys: through streets, through gatherings, through life.
