Pasifika on the rise
Inspired by Auckland's annual Pasifika festival, and Auckland
Museum's Le Folauga exhibition, Josie McNaught investigates who
might be nipping at the heels of contemporary Pacific art heroes
like Michael Tuffery, Lonnie Hutchison and Niki Hastings-McFall.
Along the way she discovers New Zealand's first dealer gallery
dedicated to selling new Pacific art.
The front row: Musica Theatre
Musical theatre is big business in New Zealand, but it's the hidden
statistic of the arts scene. But more than 200 people attended the
annual conference for musical theatre practitioners in Hamilton.
Jon Bridges headed to Richard O'Brien country to ask whether NZ
will ever have a musical on Broadway.
Another Planet
Land Transport NZ's new anti-speeding ad campaign on television
doesn't involve the usual realistic crash scenes. Instead, the
campaign features pests such as rats, possums and stoats making
excuses for their behaviour. These little claymation creatures were
created by Wellington animation house Another Planet.
