In December 2007 Prayas was invited by Auckland City Council to participate in the Wesley Community Project where the young members of Prayas formed the satellite group and went on to co-write the script for ‘Sticky Fingers’.
This community project involved members from various ethnicities. ‘Sticky Fingers’ grew into a full blown multimedia production β Our Street, a fascinating story about Wesley’s mixed community. A culturally rich and diverse play with more than just hints of song and dance β Our Street combined a multitude of modern performing arts including krumping, hip hop, film, Indian dance and a 33-piece Tongan brass band.
Two stories played side by side, where a North Indian and a Samoan family prepared for the weddings of their eldest girls. Set in Auckland’s Wesley, Mount Albert and Mount Roskill suburbs.
