Join Beth Torrance-Hetherington and Sofia Roger Williams for kōrero with artists and creative types from the wide art world of Tāmaki Makaurau and beyond!
Johanna's feelin' groovy this morning, recommending the Basement's upcoming Experimental Dance Week Aotearoa NZ. What's the connection between dance and climbing snowy mountains in nothing but a pair of jogging shorts? We're not too sure either, but it works.
Johanna comes in just to say Happy New Year, because, to be honest, there isn't really much theatre on at the moment (yes, performers need holidays too). Instead, Johanna provides some insight into her predictions for theatre in 2019. She reckons more funding and less audience participation. Nice.
Zoë and Mike find they have something in common, being they both enjoy periodic dramas. And golly does Zoë have the periodic drama of the theatre season for Mike? Home for Christmas is the one, also special mentions to Madonna's Mule, and Down to Clown. Go check 'em out.
Zoë and Tess are feeling festive as the season has begun, but what does theatre have in store for us during this silly season? Shortland Street The Musicalhas caught Zoë's eye, as well at Q Theatre's Here Lies Love, and Basement's Work Doand trusty, Snort. Plenty to go round, folks!
Zoë returns from being snatched by the cast of Monster Mash last week, and says despite that experience, she highly recommends you check it out. Also recommending The Taming of the Shrew, and Basement Theatre's Jacinda. Get amongst, guys.
Tom, Zak and Harry have snatched up Zoë and Johanna and taken over Stage Direction this week to talk Dynamotion, Monster Mash. Reviving all the long-lost monsters we feared, Monster Mash is space for those to prove how scary they really are. Tom, Zak & Harry dig deep to find out what scares Mikey the most...
Johanna is back this week for her last show of the year, before she's goes gallivanting around Wellington, with some awesome suggestions for all your theatre desires. She reckons you should check out Jacinda at The Basement, as well as her own pride and joy, Aunty, because, you know, it's gotta be good if our own Johanna is the star. Right?!
Johanna's back! Catching up with Mikey about theatre tales of the past and the present, what not to miss and what you have missed, while she was in Wellington. Nice to have you back in the studio, Johanna!
It's that time of year (Halloween), and boy is it exciting for the theatre community. Zoë catches up with Mike over all the spooky shows to fill your entire weekend. Not only is it Halloween, but it's Basement Theatre's ten year birthday, so everybody's dressing up to Party and there's a Playlist ready to go. If that's not enough reasons to dress up, The Rocky Horror Picture Show is coming to K Road. And if you're not spooked enough The Exorshit, will surely get you. Zoë's got something for everyone, this week.
Need plans for the long weekend? Love to watch theatre? Zoë's got you covered with her picks for all your local shows over the next week. Basement theatre's A Lost Cause for your Friday night, with a cast of 6 women, it's bound to fix your theatre needs, followed by Down To Clown - No Homo, also at Basement. And next week, Medusa and Zoë reckons this is one that shouldn't be missed.
