#DestinationMars launched tonight at #TePapa - what a blast (off)! I’m bad at puns. Interactive theatre meets projection in the round meets living on Mars. My kids gave it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Be your own hero with Destination Mars 👊Check out our rehearsal wrap-up video, and prepare for liftoff this Dec 11! #DestinationMars https://t.co/iSaUbEYhwI

Impressive, loud (and free!) the legendary @OnlyAnExpert brings the @nzfestival to the Hutt with a spectacular electric guitar experience and homage to the late frontman of The Velvet Underground, Lou Reed. Thanks @thedowse! https://t.co/27Q2RTggZ8
As @NZFestival guest curator, @OnlyAnExpert programmed a symphonic concert, a VR experience, an improvisational ensemble, an interactive soundscape, a film screening, and a concert for dogs. She performs from tonight, as do @RhiannonGiddens & @fraturrisi: https://t.co/r9Gj1XW3lk
Lemi Ponifasio’s MAU: House of Night and Day, a breathtaking installation drawing on his archive of theatre productions, was blessed & launched today as part of the @nzfestival at @Te_Papa. Tough, beautiful, allusive and physical.
Well @nzfestival got underway tonight. We enjoyed “chosen & beloved” - something a bit visually and musically different for me! The Fowler Centre remains a great venue ( photos from before performance and at its conclusion)
It is election season. The world is busy and rubbish.
But it is also Christmas.
So take a breather and let me tell you a story about London, trains, love and loss, and how small acts of kindness matter.
I'm going to tell you about the voice at Embankment Tube station.
Yes.... we have been very busy! We'll talk a lot more about this in a week but @nzfestival has launched and we are very proud to present a refreshed Writers Programme throughout the three-week explosion of incredible work coming to Aotearoa: https://t.co/mXiYj0uyjD
