Tumanako ia e noho haumaru ana tātou. I hope everyone is well.

We’re all coming to terms with last night’s announcement that we’re all in level 4 ‘lockdown’ until at least Friday; Auckland and Coromandel until next Tuesday.

Tuatahi (firstly), we’re thinking of you all – the arts community is always among the first to be hit by lockdowns, with upcoming gigs, events and projects immediately affected. COVID-19 has been particularly tough on the international gateway cities like Auckland and Sydney, and we’re mindful of the additional disruption and toll that has been endured by our colleagues in the north. Kia kaha Tamaki Makaurau.
