Dance review
Raewyn White reviews Shonagh McCullagh's debut work with
The New Zealand Dance Company - The Language of Living.
The Snake Pit
Auckland's Snake Pit is an art space with an uncertain
future. And that's just how they like it. Housed in an empty clothing store in
the very centre of the city, this three-level hub is home to galleries, studio
spaces, clothing designers and an all-ages underground music venue. They've
been in operation since the building's owner took a shine to them a year ago
and offered them a tenancy on very friendly terms. But at some point this
highly commercial space will be re-let and so the end for Snake Pit could come
at any moment. But as artist Sam Thomas and designer sister Rosie tell
Justin Gregory, uncertainty is all part of the fun.

2:55 Theatre review
The Pride @ The Silo: starring Kip Chapman , Simon
London, Dena Kennedy Oliver, and directed by Sophie Roberts.
Philip and Sylvia are caught in a kind of erotic time
warp. Their complex love triangle, replete with conflicting loyalties and
passions, shifts from 1958 to the present and back again in a maelstrom of
fantasy, repression and rebellion.
