Me and myself.
You and yourself.
The tea is brewing.
I’ve noticed lately
that I am you when you’re not here.
Are you me too?

Nominated for Most Promising Emerging Company at NZ Fringe 2026, A/MOTION makes its Tāmaki Makaurau debut with Please Let Me Remain, an intimate exploration of sisterhood through the lens of Aylin Atalay's identity as a Turkish/Pākehā woman. Five dancers will explore how sisterhood affects the individual and the group as one entity. Women together in comfort, sharing the same mundane experiences.

The games we make up, the future we see together, the life we romanticise. The culture we are all at the root of, and the hope there are better days ahead. 

Please Let Me Remain is presented by A/MOTION - a space to hold and document Pōneke-based Contemporary dancer Aylin Atalay's movement explorations, alone and in collaboration with other artists.
