Te Ahurei Toi o Tāmaki (AAF) - April 2021
We continue into April with a final grouping of five exciting shows Tuesday 6th–Sunday 11th!
First up, The Haka Party Incident presented with Auckland Theatre Company is a provocative, resonant, and unforgettable show. On this week from Tuesday 6 –Saturday 10 April.
Next, Reb Fountain & The Black Quartet: The Boy Next Door will blow you away with an evening paying homage to the work of the inimitable Nick Cave at Auckland Town Hall on Wednesday 7 April.
Subtle Dances, the premiere work from BalletCollective Aotearoa with NZTrio debuts on Thursday 8 and Friday 9 April at the Bruce Mason Centre.
If you’d like to do some dancing yourself, the New Moon Folk Ball will provide that opportunity on Friday 9 April, led by the iconic Michael Parmenter.
And on Sunday 11 April, join Sistema Aotearoa in celebrating their 10th birthday at Tekau! with a free performance featuring 250 young musicians across a 100-piece string orchestra and choir of 150.
Don’t miss out on your final chance to enjoy AAF in 2021!
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
