Ongoing Events on Waiheke Island:

  • Tuesdays 3:30 - 8pm: Dramability: Cindy Peterken will be taking groups through drama classes that will include theatre games, improvisation, devising, script work, creating a character, stage fighting, mask work and more. Students must enrol for a term of lessons, and are encouraged to commit to a year's attendance to allow for more exciting planning. Each term will have a different focus and there will be at least one evening performance to put skills into practice. All students should arrive 5min before the start of the lesson and wear suitable loose clothing for moving around freely and there will be some floor work -- so no best clothes, please! Bring only a dollop of enthusiasm and a sense of humour. 6-8yo: 3:30 - 4:15; 9-13yo: 4:45 - 5:45; 14-18yo: 6:30-8:00. To book, contact Cindy Peterken ph 2770 or email L.Peterken@xtra.co.nz. @ Artworks Community Theatre

Upcoming Special Events:

May

  • Th20May 6:30pm: Waiheke Island: What Kind of Paradise? Tourism is central to Waiheke's economy. Many Islanders make their living from it, and it has an impact on everything from the price of houses to the frequency of buses. Last year, researchers from the University of Auckland surveyed 3,600 visitors to Waiheke, providing us with in-depth knowledge of how this industry is developing. The new Super City will, no doubt, have its views on how Waiheke can be developed as a tourist destination. We are not the first island in the world to be facing these issues. A number of Biosphere Reserves have been through this experience and provide valuable insights into the problems that can occur and ways they might be avoided. Come along and listen to presentations by the University researchers and on the UNESCO Reserves, and take part in the discussion: "Waiheke Island: what kind of Paradise?". @ Ostend Memorial Hall


June

  • Su06Jun 10am - 1pm: Storytelling Festival Passport of Stories events at all Artworks venues.

July

  • Th08Jul - Sat10Jul: Raising the Titanics from Smackbang Theatre Co is a magical showpiece that journeys from the present day, back to the golden age of the Maori showband era to reveal what really sunk the Titanics - perhaps the greatest Maori show band never to have existed. Somewhere beneath the oceans of music, mirth and memory lies the truth. This is a homage honoring the Maori entertainers of our past, by bringing their stories of the showband era back to life for audiences young and old so that they can experience (or relive) such an important part of our Maori entertainment history. Raising the Titanics is the type of play that (like ‘Strange Resting Places’) will give us further insight to our past while being highly entertaining for all audiences. Embrace the feel-good positivity of this era and be reminded that we as Maori had a great tradition of incredible entertainers that is still thriving today. Tickets $20; Contact Artworks Theatre for bookings: 372-2941msg or ArtworksTheatre@gmail.com @ Artworks Community Theatre
