This is truly beautiful and makes me want to watch #TickTickBoomMovie for the third time.

Currently, if I'm not concentrating on something, my brain will immediately start to sing "We Don't Talk About Bruno" from Encanto. Like, immediately.

This show made me laugh, cry and feel incredibly homesick with both leads having NZ accents. If the first episode or two didn't grab you, stick with it. It is absolute perfection by the end. #OurFlagMeansDeath

I don’t “let go” of special interests, I simply add new ones over time and they go on permanent rotation in my head like Shakespeare plays at a summer festival.

Season 2 is officially setting sail. #OurFlagMeansDeath

So wonderful to have my friend and colleague Dr Maja Zonjić come to stay. We missioned to The Big Pineapple and naturally I made her do a #MatildaPose with me.

Endlessly proud of my incredible friend and colleague Maja. A Marsden grant! Congratulations! 💜

Cuts to Theatre and Music and Languages are cuts to the ecosystem of culture and performance Verb and other festivals have built and sustained. If you are running to be a Wellington MP you should have something to say about that, out loud and in public.

Double VUW Theatre & English major here. Foundational for going on to complete dramaturgy-focused PhD, Burns Fellowship, Bruce Mason & Adam awards. No spreadsheet or audit would even begin to tally this loss. Daylight robbery of so many futures. rnz.co.nz/news/national/…

Theatre at Vic Uni is under threat - staff slashed by over half and moved into English. It will be the end of theatre at Vic as we know it. Here I explain how this is the latest blow to tertiary performing arts in NZ. #savevuw thebigidea.nz/stories/unforg…

Cuts to Theatre at VUW will be cuts to arts, culture and economy nationally. Carmel Sepuloni as Minister responsible should be concerned. Wellington's local leaders are speaking out. Will its MPs (and prospective MPs) stay silent? thebigidea.nz/stories/unforg…

Have a look at this list of everything set to be cut or diminished. Consider what this means nationally. And then try and understand what Labour are thinking making this their vision for education: smaller, more inward-looking, narrower, poorer? We can't. thespinoff.co.nz/society/23-06-…

Forever in awe of my incredible friend and colleague Dr Nicola Hyland. Read her powerful piece in The Spinoff. #SaveVUWTheatre thespinoff.co.nz/society/26-06-…

"Arts training programs act as the shopfront for the university. These programs intervene in civic life and showcase the university publicly. Their students activate campus spaces and bring community audiences to the university" #saveVUWtheatre theconversation.com/intake-to-the-…

"The fight goes on to ensure that art education can be measured by its true value to this country." Thanks to @TheBigIdea for its continued attention to grave threat hanging over performing arts education in NZ. #saveVUWtheatre thebigidea.nz/stories/the-ba…
