Emerging Actors Go It Alone

Emerging Actors Go It Alone

Toi Whakaari third year acting students present this year’s annual season of Go Solo from Monday 11 – Saturday 23 July at Te Whaea: National Dance and Drama Centre. The show will comprise 16 new solo shows created and performed by the final year actors who will present their pieces in groups of four.

From the misadventures of a Norwegian Death Metal fanatic to the lyrical weaving of family stories and memories, Go Solo invites audiences to sample a rich variety of 16 points of view as entertaining as they are thought provoking. Audiences may chose to see one or more group of four pieces over several nights or see all four shows on a Saturday with performances at 2.30pm, 4.30pm, 6.30pm and 8.30pm.

The season is directed by award winning directors Sophie Roberts and Jade Eriksen with stage management and technical support provided by Toi Whakaari students from those disciplines

For many of Toi Whakaari’s graduates this established season has served as their first major stepping stone into the professional theatre. Go Solo provides Wellington audiences with the opportunity to view fresh, bold theatre from our next generation of fine New Zealand performers.
