Solo performer Eliza Sanders has a simple task: to tell you everything that will happen in the show, so you can decide if you would like to see it. Nothing is ever so simple.
This genre-defying work of dance, theatre, live film, clown and absurd philosophising takes the idea of the ‘trigger warning’ to its absurdist extreme to question how ‘informed’ consent can really be, and asking ‘How much do you really want to know?’
Created and performed by multi-award-winning maverick of the stage Eliza Sanders, Manage Your Expectations helps us to see the limits of the power to communicate and our failures to say what we mean. Through movement, multimedia, and razor-sharp wit, it examines the impossibility of perfect communication, musing on the influence of context, identity and personal history while creating something beautiful from our collective mess.
“Clever, witty, evocative, subversive, immersive, despairing, poignant, personal and universal” — Deirdre Tarrant, Theatreview
“Beautifully vulnerable” – Chloe Jaques, Theatreview, 2024
Full of vigour, energy, chaos and a hint of confrontation, Manage Your Expectations is a mind (and body) bending show about how we connect in an increasingly complex world. And you decide the ending…

In fact, our Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) spans 15 times our land area. Despite this, less than 1% of our ocean is highly protected.
Sheridan Waitai, member of One Oceania, argues that New Zealand is failing its obligations, and our failure is being noticed internationally.
Sheridan and others argue that the health of our oceans is declining as they face climate change, overfishing, and pollution. While other nations are championing ocean protection, New Zealand has been quiet on this topic.
We want to know: Are we meeting our responsibilities in the management of our blue territory?

Lynley Christoffersen and Jade Eru weave a vocal magic that can only come from years of singing together. They have lent their sweet soulful harmonies to many artists around Aotearoa, (including Wayne Mason, Darren Watson, Pip Paynes Gospel project) and are currently touring with The Fleetwood Mac Experience.
We celebrate the release of their original EP, The Tempests, which brings their vocal blend to the fore. They will be performing with their incredible band of musical maestros - Chris Armour and Rob Matthews, (guitars), Miklin Halstead (bass) and Richard te One (drums). Joined by their dear friend Hamish Graham (Hobnail, Shot band, Milkthistle & Love Shack) who opens their set with his lush and lively, beautifully crafted original songs.
Come along for the special House Concert vibe. Teas, coffee & snacks provided. Details re parking etc will be sent out with the email confirming your booking.
The kākāpō, our famously lovable but critically endangered land-parrot, are forecast to have a massive breeding season in 2026 - perhaps the biggest on record!

How do we know? Kākāpō only 'get busy' during rimu mast events (where rimu grow heaps of fruit), every 2-4 years. Because we can anticipate rimu mast events, and kākāpō love rimu fruit, we can predict kākāpō breeding activity.
Since there are only 242 kākāpō today, this bumper season is important.
This positive outlook on population numbers is especially exciting since, due to the mahi of conservationists, the kākāpō have completed their first season on the North island (at Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari). The booming of the kākāpō has not been heard on the North Island of Aotearoa for over a century!

We hope this news brings a smile!
