Combining the high-octane physicality of Korean choreographer KIM Jae Duk’s ‘Sigan’; the powerhouse choreography of renowned Stephanie Lake in ‘If Never Was Now’; with the vibrant aesthetic of New Zealand’s Victoria Colombus in her new world premiere work ‘The Fibonacci’, Kiss The Sky is “…exciting, exhausting, exhilarating – and world class” (Otago Daily Times).

Our littlest people need your help. Poverty doesn’t start at 5, but until now there’s been no nationwide programme to help preschoolers who are hungry and cold.
KidsCan is changing that. They’re delivering raincoats, shoes and five fresh meals a week to 25 early childhood centres. Attendance is up, and the children are happier and more settled.
"Everyone has the same meal so children don't feel like they have less," Manaia View Kindergarten teacher Kathy Belz says. "It's upholding everyone's mana.”
40 more centres are waiting for help. KidsCan, Stuff and Neighbourly have partnered up to raise enough money to support 1000 more children - and we need 400 more generous Kiwis to hold little hands. To support a child, sign up at KidsCan.org.nz
As well as our Easter Garden and Experiencing Easter displays, Pukekohe Anglicans have plenty coming up over Easter and beyond. ALL WELCOME!
