Kia ora, whānau

It's with a lot of disappointment that we now need to let you know our decision to postpone all of this year's Whānau Day performances, which were scheduled for 1 May.

While we’re understandably sad to miss the chance to share our work with you, we're also 100% committed to the health and safety of all our guests, the extended community and each other.

But this isn't a cancellation! it's an invitation to watch this space… Te Auaha staff, tutors and students are already exploring a bunch of innovative and creative ways we could perform for you over the coming months. Perhaps we'll use the power of the internet to stream live performances direct to you. Maybe we'll adapt shows so that they work for smaller audiences across wider spaces. And if we're lucky enough to get the chance to responsibly re-mount Whanau Day 2020 later this year, we promise you'll be the first to know.

You can check what we’ve got planned at the Te Auaha Events website, www.teauahaevents.com. And if you want real-time updates, you can follow our Facebook page: www.facebook.com/teauaha.

Until we see you next, thank you for supporting our students and their creative journeys. Take care of yourselves and each other.

nga mihi, arohanui
