SUMMARY:Wicked
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Tauranga Musical Theatre\nStep into the magical world of Wicked\, the untold story of the witches of Oz—long before Dorothy ever arrived. \nNow a global sensation both on stage and screen—following the hugely anticipated film adaptation\, Wicked—this beloved musical reimagines the land of Oz from a fresh perspective. It follows the unlikely friendship between two young women: Elphaba\, a fiercely intelligent and misunderstood girl born with emerald-green skin\, and Glinda\, a popular and ambitious socialite. Despite their differences\, the two form a powerful bond at Shiz University—but as their lives take dramatically different paths\, their friendship is put to the ultimate test. \nWith soaring music\, spectacular staging\, and a story full of heart\, humour\, and unexpected twists\, Wicked explores themes of identity\, loyalty\, and what it truly means to be “good.” \nDon’t miss Tauranga Musical Theatre’s spellbinding production of this global phenomenon—an unforgettable theatrical experience for audiences of all ages. \nFind out more

SUMMARY:The Feedback Lab
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: The Incubator Creative Hub\nSTOP MARKING YOUR OWN HOMEWORK! \nIt’s time to unlock your creative noncritical voice. \nIntroducing the Feedback Lab 2026/27 monthly sessions. \nThe Feedback Lab invites artists of many different disciplines and levels to connect\, explore\, and share information ideas and processes in a relaxed non-judgemental environment. \nLead by Carol Bisset\, the Feedback Lab provides a safe place in which to share fresh perspectives on your own and other artists work. Throughout the year there will be a select group of guest speakers who will introduce us to their unique journeys as practising artists. \n“I’m really pleased to hear the Feedback Lab might be returning. \nWhat made it different for me was the intentional focus on constructive dialogue. It created a space where artists could share work and receive considered feedback from fresh perspectives. That process encouraged deeper reflection and brought valuable analytical insight into my own practice. I especially appreciated the opportunity to connect with other artists in Tauranga Moana in a meaningful way; not just socially\, but through critical and creative exchange. \nCarol is an outstanding facilitator. She creates a respectful\, responsive environment where people feel safe to speak honestly. Her ability to guide discussion while allowing space for diverse viewpoints is a real strength. \nGrassroots\, inclusive initiatives like this are vital for sustaining a healthy and connected arts community. They make critical conversation accessible and strengthen relationships within the local creative sector. ” \n– Fiorella Silva Perez. \nFind out more
