‘I’m so cold’: Dunedin dances in the light of Kate Bush’s Wuthering Heights

A group of strangers gathered in Dunedin's Octagon on a cold winter morning to participate in a public dance inspired by Kate Bush's 1979 song 'Wuthering Heights.' Dressed in red, they recreated the iconic dance from the music video, paying tribute to both the song and Emily Brontë's novel. Organized by former circus ringmaster and city councillor Mandy Mayhem-Bullock, the event has become an annual tradition since 2016, with participants coming from across New Zealand. The event not only celebrates art and community but also raises funds for local mental health charity Weka. This year's participation included dancers traveling from distant locations such as Nelson, marking the event's growing popularity.
