Day ✌🏽at PAS

People have been losing their minds in the media over $31K not being given to an organisation for hiring an assistant and forming a succession plan. It's not about Shakespeare, never was. This is what happens when you get journos who don't understand the arts reporting on it.

The fuss over Shakespeare is a distraction from the real scandal of arts funding: the chronic under investment in Creative New Zealand. We need more arts funding for everyone. Here's why: i.stuff.co.nz/opinion/130193…

We've found some of the rhetoric around our funding decisions over the last few weeks (especially the past 24 hours) alarming, misleading and racist. Our CE and Chair have published a joint statement in response: ow.ly/Cfvz50LcIFQ

I've written up the past week of coverage, discourse and utter mess that has been written about Creative New Zealand's decision not to give the Shakespeare Globe Centre New Zealand funding in September. Read it all here: thespinoff.co.nz/pop-culture/19…

I've written to Jacinda Ardern, GrantRobertson1 and Carmel Sepuloni asking them to extend the Government's support to the wider arts sector.

Here's an arts funding story we need to talk about: Creative New Zealand was unable to fund Auckland Pride 🏳️‍⚧️'s Creative Director role for a second year to support Rainbow Arts. This is one of the knock on effects of constrained funding. Thank you Eda: stuff.co.nz/pou-tiaki/1301…

One last tweet on a Friday before I dive into a long weekend: These past two weeks have shown us how powerful the media can be in shaping the narrative around the arts and arts funding. It's on the industry and the community to invite and force the media to listen.

Alfie is in to win 🥰

Lucy Marinkovich was told Borderline Arts Ensemble wouldn't receive funding as CNZ didn’t have the $. "With an operating budget less than 0.01% of the Crown’s core expenses, CNZ is not credibly financed by the government to support the professional arts." stuff.co.nz/entertainment/…

Love to see it 👏🏽👏🏽 e-tangata.co.nz/arts/who-let-o…

The NZ women’s team (which I’m in) is running a few fundraisers- let me know if you’d like to support in anyway. Check out my latest FB post for details m.facebook.com/story.php?stor…

Excited for this 🫶🏽
