Grace within bounds In a departure from the usual format of a short works show each choreographer’s work is woven into one continuous overarching performance. This method undoubtedly presents challenges for the choreographers; it also changes the way in which each work is viewed as, despite their individuality, it is the similarities that draw one's attention as they flow from one to the next. This creates the temptation to fabricate a narrative pathway between each piece and without a pause it is hard to retain a sense of each as it’s own entity. It is, however, certainly a pleasure to watch a Unitec show without the familiar blue scene-change light and its accompanying awkward pause. [more] |

How imaginary is this Kitchen? The action starts straight away with the main character ‘Man’ (Alex Walker) making a paper plane that he throws over the screen on the back of the stage. The fact that it got stuck in the ceiling, whether intentional or not, certainly loosened up the crowd from the get-go. [more] |

The Gift of the gab “Wow!” was all we could say when we saw the striking set as we walked into the Maidment Theatre. A Rubiks-like upholstered grid with minimal cube props for tables and seats is the genius creation of set designer Rachael Walker. [more] |

Bartered then betrothed The word ‘opera’ conjures images of elitism and grandeur among people who don't frequent the art form. And if you identify with that majority, NBR NZ Opera's version of The Bartered Bride would be a great first opera to see. [more] |

Straight from the Heart A Heart’s Path, written by Suli Moa, is the young playwright’s second Tongan play in less than two years. I’m glad to see that talents like Moa are not a flash in the pan. [more] |

Money CAN buy love Be warned that the cast of Love and Money don’t only bear all physically, they bear their souls through this intimate emotional journey. This clever piece of theatre is slickly peppered with cirque-theatre that’s the hallmark of The Dust Palace. [more] |

You Can Be a Successful Woman, Too! (Terms and Conditions Apply) When people talk about women having careers, there’s a trade-off implied: You can’t have a career and a family – one will suffer if you try, and if you pursue the former, you’re defeminised: there’s something wrong with you or, at the very least, your womb.

Shivering and Shaking; The Glittery Black Siggy (Kip Chapman) is the quintessential drifter. He’s spent the past seven years “finding his niche” – that is, working his way through every stage one paper offered by the Faculty of Arts – and he’d happily continue this search, only The Dean (Adam Gardiner) is now threatening to kick him out: Not for his unrelenting dedication to underachievement, not even because he’s a small-time drug dealer catering to staff and students’ appetite for black (a fictional drug not unlike cocaine), but because ...

What DOES it mean to be gay? You want a play to change you. You want it to take you by surprise, to delight you, to hurt you. You want it to whisper in your ear three days later when you’re trying to focus during a staff meeting about strategy and best practice. You want it to be meaningful, in whatever way it intends.
