Q

This week we welcomed the graduating dancers from Unitec Dance who are in the whare to perform Body Re: Body, their statement piece that is bold and high-energy, showcasing the next generation of Aotearoa dance artists at their most ambitious 👏

We love that we're able to offer a space where people can come together to witness emerging talent right at the moment they take flight. Nau mai, haere mai!

🎙️ JUST ANNOUNCED 🎙️

We are delighted to welcome Rove McManus to Q to kick off 2027 with an entertaining night of stand up and stories from the talk show trenches 💬

Rove will be spilling the tea as he relives his days behind the desk and you'll have the opportunity to ask him all your burning questions. Who was his fave guest? Worst disaster? What's Elmo really like?

The Push

We can't wait to welcome back Flamenco guitarist and composer Paul Bosauder in just two weeks to celebrate the release of his new album Arco y Olvide 🎶

Rooted in traditional flamenco forms, Paul’s music draws from the deep vocabulary of Andalucía while allowing his own melodies, harmonies and sense of space to emerge with honesty and restraint ✨

Don't miss this beautiful homage to the Spanish maestros who shaped the landscape of flamenco and what it means to find one’s own voice within such a rich and demanding tradition. Book tickets now!
