In A Short History of Asian New Zealand Theatre, each performer is invited to reflect on a time when they have wanted to quit theatre: why they didn't, why they endured.
On opening night, playwright Nathan Joe boiled it down to one thing: the people.
As creative practitioners, we owe so much to the people around us. They are who inspire us, who support us, who keep cheering us on. And yet the grind of freelance culture often means we don't always have the space and time to truly acknowledge and thank those who we owe so much of ourselves to.
Join us for a gentle evening where you'll be invited to write a letter of appreciation for somebody who has shaped you as a creative. Materials and snacks provided!
