Our creative sector is making a huge economic and social contribution. Imagine how much more we could grow with sustainable investment!

This could be amazing for NZ performance too

Glad I’ve got other things to do today besides watch the cricket.

I love the PANNZ performing arts market, but I think I count only 1 panelist (out of quite a few) based in Te Waipounamu, the South Island. Needs more geographic reach!

Efeso Collins was the first person I saw up close, as a teen, who was a natural, outstanding leader, so obviously marked for greatness no one even stopped to consider it. One of the country’s best orators and such an incredibly warm, positive and kind person. RIP Fa’anana

@JohnJCampbell @davidfarrier @incorrect_pin A triad of legends!

This is @davidfarrier & me, taken by our friend, @incorrect_pin. I first met David when he was a student. He was brilliant, even then. Since then, he's made Tickled, Mr Organ, he's launched webworm.co, Flightless Bird, & so much more. What a lovely, clever man. ❤️
