Te Ahurei Toi o Tāmaki (AAF) - April 2021

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.

Don’t miss out on your final chance to enjoy AAF in 2021!

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟

While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.

We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
