I am delighted to have taken over the reigns of CubaDupa, the most vibrant and creative event on the Wellington events calendar. CubaDupa celebrates the epic creativity of the Cuba precinct and wider Wellington creative community and the festival has become synonymous with colour, character, costume and a weekend at which Wellingtonians feel free to bring out their wild side.With previous programmes including street theatre, dance, roaming performances, family entertainment, musical genres from Opera to Te Reo Trash Metal, Second Line Brass to Balkan beats, indie rock to post punk and dozens of parades, as well as installations like the colourful umbrellas at the Abel Smith and Cuba St intersection in 2018 - the festival has become a creative playground that blurs the line between the audience and performer.
