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
