Strasbourg 1518 at Circa Theatre, was an excellent meeting of dance, theatre, sound, light and jazz. One thing hasn’t changed in the 25 years I’ve been writing about the visual and performing arts in Wellington - people from galleries ask me for theatre recommendations, while theatregoers ask about exhibitions. Looks on their faces suggest they consider the other respective arts scene like some other country. Even in this creative crucible of a city I’m often struck by how different audiences can be. And how many different cultural scenes there are. A regular attender of both NZSO and Orchestra Wellington concerts recently commented to me how different he finds these two orchestras' audiences - the Orchestra Wellington crowd “younger and a different class”.
