Hugo Grrrl s Crosswalk Theatre brings theatre to street crossings in What if the City was a Theatre?, on until March 28.
Mark Amery suggests some answers need addressing in the Wellington performance scene. The question is on billboards all over Wellington: what if the city was a theatre? Answers out there I ve seen include the Eastbourne ferry serenaded by musicians; dancers on the cable car and, like bright flocks of birds on e-scooters; taniwha dancing in the Carter Fountain; theatre on pedestrian crossings and drag queens running a compliments booth in Midland Park. Commuters have constantly had to keep looking up from their phones.
Trust between Wellington Mayor Andy Foster and some of his councillors is so low, he hastily called for a review into the council’s governance before one of them beat him to it.
Mayor Andy Foster is accused - in the third complaint to the auditor-general - of mingling with Chinese leaders before announcing he wanted to cut funding for their garden.
Wellington Mayor Andy Foster has called for an independent review into Wellington City Council s governance.
Wellington Mayor Andy Foster faces two more requests for the auditor-general to investigate his council, most recently for mingling with Chinese community leaders then, two days later, moving to pull funding from their gardens. The Office of the Auditor-General has confirmed it has three separate complaints: One from Foster s council colleague Fleur Fitzsimons, one from Foster s former council colleague and ex-Deputy Mayor Helene Ritchie, and one from the Wellington Chinese Garden Society (WCGS). All were being considered though a decision on whether to launch an inquiry had not yet been made.
Depite no overseas competitors, and the spectre of Covid-19 alert level shift, even more people participated in the Wellington Round the Bays run on Sunday.
