SUMMARY:Sentinel - Seabirds of Aotearoa Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Aotearoa is the seabird capital of the world\, home to about 90 species of the world’s seabirds. Just as canaries once warned coal miners of carbon monoxide\, seabirds signal the declining health of our ecosystem. With the birds increasingly threatened by habitat loss and predators\, Sentinel serves as an urgent call to action. \nThrough science\, photography\, interactive video\, sculpture\, and sound\, Sentinel invites you into the world of these magnificent creatures. The collective of scientists and creatives Edin Whitehead\, André Bellvé\, Marcel Bellvé\, Micah Livesay\, Lani Purkis\, and Shane McLean urge us to protect Aotearoa New Zealand’s seabirds\, their environment\, and our shared ecosystem.

SUMMARY:BADJELLY THE WITCH GLOW SHOW
DESCRIPTION:Badjelly the Witch\, the much-loved\, utterly loony Spike Milligan classic\, is this year’s Glow Show!   Nearly 100\,000 Kiwi kids\, parents and educators have seen a Glow Show; come and join the fun with the frolicking\, witchy-poo\, super-fun Badjelly the Witch!   The brilliantly nonsensical tale is being entirely reimagined with the unique Glow Show treatment.   The Glow Show’s utterly original mash-up of science\, puppetry and music is a glorious experience for children and this year it will be a wonderfully nostalgic event for adults.   The goofiness of Bare Bottom Land\, the giggle-inducing catch-cries like “Stinky poo to all of you!”\, and the larger than life characters of Badjelly are set to bring a little fright and lots of fun to more than 30 venues across Aotearoa from July 5.   Don’t miss out!
