This reality isn’t lost on many in the creative community. Even if it’s not where they are at now, they have either been in those shoes before or knows someone who has. Keep Reading

Mara TK doesn’t just dare to be different - he lives for it. His uniqueness as a musician is part of what defines him - and ironically makes him hard to define. He doesn’t fit the bill of what many assume when they think Māori musician. That notion is driven largely by the bevy of highly talented singer-songwriters with a guitar in hand. Keep Reading

It just does not have the unassailable status it once had. Opera companies are in a difficult position, desperately in need of remaining relevant to younger audiences, but often beholden to a dwindling older audience that is only interested in the shortlist of usual European suspects composed between 1780 and 1900.

Unless you’re living under a rock (and probably if you are living under a rock too), you’ll know that Aotearoa is in the midst of celebrating Matariki.
