#DestinationMars launched tonight at #TePapa - what a blast (off)! I’m bad at puns. Interactive theatre meets projection in the round meets living on Mars. My kids gave it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is a bloody rough time for festivals & events. Sending the aroha to @WORDChCh and standing by to rebook my flights in support.
Statement from WORD to all our valued followers: It's with a heavy heart that we have decided to postpone the 2021 WORD Christchurch Festival, which was due to start on Wednesday 25 August.

Lemi Ponifasio’s MAU: House of Night and Day, a breathtaking installation drawing on his archive of theatre productions, was blessed & launched today as part of the @nzfestival at @Te_Papa. Tough, beautiful, allusive and physical.

Well @nzfestival got underway tonight. We enjoyed “chosen & beloved” - something a bit visually and musically different for me! The Fowler Centre remains a great venue ( photos from before performance and at its conclusion)

It is election season. The world is busy and rubbish. But it is also Christmas. So take a breather and let me tell you a story about London, trains, love and loss, and how small acts of kindness matter. I'm going to tell you about the voice at Embankment Tube station.
