 THE LAST TANIWHA at Globe Theatre reviewed by Kimberley Buchan 22 Mar 2013 |
|
Potential yet to be realised The play has three intertwining plots which could easily become chaotic and confusing but Chris Molloy’s script has structured it in such a way that each story complements and enhances the the other. Each loop back through the three different time periods reveals something that has a sometimes devastating impact on the rest. [more] |

Be puzzled, amazed, entertained … Robert Haley ends his show, Elixir, with a request for everyone to be circumspect in describing it on social media, etc, so that people can experiences the same surprises we just did. Fair enough. So. Yep. It’s good. Go. [more] |
 LEO at Maidment reviewed by Paul Simei-Barton 21 Mar 2013 |
|
Organisers save one of the gems for last Now entering its final week, the AK Festival has been an outstanding success and for those who have been slow on the uptake the programmers have kept some of the best for last. [more] |
 FOR YOUR FUTURE GUIDANCE at Community Gallery, 20 Princes St reviewed by Kimberley Buchan 21 Mar 2013 |
|
Deadpan humour and understated irony In keeping with the style, this is not a performance to be passively viewed. In many cases the audience do more work than the performers. A timeline of events is collaboratively pieced together. The awkward role play is given a lift with some wry performances from the audience members. [more] |
 BREAK IN at Former Education Board /AH Reed /Skinners Building, 33 Jetty St reviewed by Terry MacTavish 21 Mar 2013 |
|
Strong start but drifts into mish-mash The company has chosen a fantastic venue I’ve never seen before: the historic, decaying but beautiful building that once housed Reed Publishing. A perfect setting for Break In, it is transformed to the seedy Vulva Underground bar, with all the tacky faded splendour of a bordello: fringed lamp shades and velvet drapes; a narcoleptic in tails sagging over the old piano.

Absurd, delightful and challenging Hit town. Forget shopping, sauntering, worrying about how others are checking you out. Be your own crazy self, do your own wild thing entirely, and blow the consequences! Or, as Queer Deportment puts it with a little more class and erudition, “explore queer expression through demeanour and mannerisms, and the subversion of social rules around walking and shopping.” [more] |
 IN ABSENTIA at Globe Theatre reviewed by Jonathan W. Marshall 21 Mar 2013 |
|
Emotional density and aesthetic pleasures In Absentia is an exceptional piece of object / puppet theatre from Tablo Theatre, Christchurch. Composed out of a series of vignettes or images, the work gently shifts from one frame of quiet, wry contemplation, to another. [more] |

Pacific connections explored in dance works Moana, meaning Ocean, presents a coming together of stories and ideas from Pacific choreographers living in Auckland City and their response to this urban environment. The underpinning theme of the showcase is to address the space between the heritage, traditions and contemporary dance world of the Pacific while recognizing our connection, seen in the metaphor of the ocean. The first three pieces particularly highlight significant issues for Pacific peoples. [more] |
 VIRTUOSI at Q Theatre Loft, 305 Queen St reviewed by Raewyn Whyte (NZ Herald) 21 Mar 2013 |
|
Eloquent and beautiful dance documentary The most exquisite footage is the extraordinarily eloquent sequences of each of them dancing a solo in the city (or cities) where they live now, with beautiful music by Australia-based Kiwi musician Mike Nock. [more] |
