Sing along to the words from popular songs recorded in te reo Māori for Waiata Anthems.
Wild Wild Life
Fri 8, 15 & 22 March, 6.00pm – 9.30pm
How is Tāmaki Makaurau/Auckland City described outside of official city maps? What other kinds of wayfinding exist beyond our known pathways? These questions and more will be answered in a series of short artist films mapping out the city across the CBD. Wild Wild Life will launch on the Auckland Live Digital Stage, as well as in other inner-city locations, to create a walking map of the CBD.
Cascades
Sat 16 March, 8.15pm
Cascades is a live performance and audio-visual project by French artists Franck Vigroux and Antoine Schmitt inspired by the concept of waterfalls. Featuring flowing light and multiple movement sequences, and an original music score, Cascades is a meditative, impulsive, beautiful, visceral experience.
