Coffee at Newtown with Tom and a nice chat as always. Tom knows everyone in town, he's been around that long. Tonight is the long-awaited Pina Bausch Dance Company doing Rite of Spring at St James and it should be great with a visit to Cuba Dupa afterwards. The weather is perfect, slightly breezy twenty degrees celsius, just wonderful unusual weather for this windy city.
This morning I also went to the Community Gardens on Happy Valley Road at Owhiro Bay. It was a gathering of Takataapui youth and some workshops, a great morning in the Maori community.
Trump has an unusual following, to say the least.
But even in GB things are shaky.
Here is your real Maori Haka.
Elizabeth getting more publicity for Tiwhanawhana in the local Cook Strait newspaper.
Interesting British composer Maxwell Davies just passed on who left a great story of life and music. Born to simple working class parents he became the Master of the Queen's Music for ten great years.
Some very fat eels enjoying rhe clean organic stream runnng through the community gardens.
Home from Pina and her company did not disappoint. It is easy to see why she has changed the world of Dance Theatre. Borh pieces Café Müller and Stravinsky's Rite of Spring were amazing and worth seeing again tomorrow!
Then out to the crazy music-filled Cuba Street and it just finished a very full and fabulous day in Wellington. Tomorrow, to rest!
