Code-Switch FRIDAY APRIL 16, 12:00PM & 7:00PM "Want a future that'll make your family proud? What about success and happiness? You'll find all this and more at Camp Mana." A new door opens for Hemi and Anna as they’re accepted into the prestigious ‘Camp Mana,’ a program designed to prepare promising school leavers to succeed in the ‘real’ world. The pair come from a low socio-economic area and are given the opportunity to defy the odds. But there's always a catch - how much will they have to give up to succeed? "Code-Switch" is a collaborative live cinema experience combining film, dance and live stage theatre that explores what happens to young people when dreams, values, and social contexts clash. Follow the illusions and disillusionment of two students whose lives are a little bit like all of ours: Hemi, the artistic and naive blank slate, and Anna, the ambitious and determined over-achiever. From choosing between passion and financial stability, to juggling the pressures of family and culture, the decisions they make will have consequences - whether they like it or not. Proudly supported by Globe Theatre, Photogear and Aorere College Foundation. Find out more information on the following links: ENTRY: Tickets available HERE or at the Globe Theatre Box Office |

Little Dog Barking Theatre Company presents Rainbows and Fishes MONDAY APRIL 19, 10:00AM & 11:30AM Created By Peter Wilson Home to a happy group of people was a small island in the Pacific Ocean. Why were they so happy? They had everything they needed. They grew vegetables and fruit to eat, they caught fish. They played games with each other and told stories, stories of old and stories of new. Sometimes they sang those stories. They saw all colours that made up their world, the colour of the sand, the hills, the sea, the rocks. They gave the colours names like Yellow, Kowhai, Samasama. They told stories and sang songs about the fish in the sea. The big fish, the small fish and especially the Rainbow fish. The Rainbow fish had all the colours of the world. There was one song they sang, of a time when the Rainbow Fish lost its colours, a time when the other fish in the sea had no colours, a time when the wind created great mischief to the people of the island and the fish in the sea. RAINBOWS AND FISHES is a new theatre piece performed in your school hall or early education centre. The theatre brings its own props and puppets to weave this colourful story about Rainbows and Fishes. English, Te Reo and Samoan are freely used throughout the performance. ENTRY: Tickets available HERE or at the Globe Theatre Box Office |

Women and Business April Networking Event TUESDAY APRIL 27, 5:30PM Katherine Gillespie from GrowForte Mood, Mindset and Choice Do you ever wonder how some folk seem to constantly see the good in life – despite what life throws at them? This “superpower” comes when we consciously choose our focus. We can all relate to being in a dark space, to feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and stressed while at the same time knowing that there is a better way to be. My challenge to you is that you have this “superpower” and that your happiness or contentment in life is not dependent on circumstances or on others. Come and find out the very practical ways that we can move to living a life that is healthier, more fun, and energised. One where we work in a space that sees opportunities and ways to move forward. “I don’t think any of us get to have a challenge-free life! If through my learning I can help other people to live an easier life, a more joyful life then that’s what I am about!” KG ENTRY: Tickets available HERE |
