Auckland Arts Festival

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.

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.

While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.

And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
