Upcoming/Current
2026
Sōsisi Tales follows Leilani, John Boy, and Riki. Three friends who’ve grown up like family, moving as one through life, laughter, and long nights together. But now, the path is splitting into study, footy, and work. Tonight is their final drink up before they go their separate ways.
What begins as a night of drinks, singalongs, and reminiscing on the “good times” slowly shifts. The laughter lingers, but something deeper starts to surface. Stories are shared. Truths slip out. And the real reasons behind the drinks can’t stay buried.
Blending humour with heart and hard truths, Sōsisi Tales shines a light on youth drinking culture in our communities. What brings us together, and what can quietly pull us apart. At its core, it’s a story about friendship, accountability, and the choices we carry long after the night ends.
Māfana 2026
Māfana is a 16-week cultural performing arts and youth development programme for Pacific secondary school students across Marlborough, Nelson and Tasman.
Delivered by Fua Creative, Mafana combines cultural and contemporary dance, music, storytelling, and mentorship to support Pacific young people to strengthen cultural identity, build confidence, and develop leadership skills while working towards a live dance theatre performance.
Students collaborate with professional Pacific creatives through weekly workshops, culminating in two regional performances in Marlborough and Nelson. Participants may also have opportunities to gain NCEA Dance credits (Levels 1–3).
