Monsters are hitting the streets of Wellington!

Hello my sweets - forgive me for the somewhat sporadic posting, my excuse is the very worthy one of being so busy making costumes and rehearsing that I have VERY little time left for blogging!

The rich textures and sparkle of the monster "look".

This is one of the pieces I have been busy on... the mask for the purple monster... just a sneak peek!

However important things are afoot, and the monsters are about to spill out onto the streets of Wellington!

Our wonderful community groups will be performing short sets at several locations around the city over the week leading up to and during the two weeks of the show. So that you can take advantage of every opportunity to get some monstery action, see below for the list of when and where to be.

Check out Taikoza for some seriously deep Monster Drumming, and ZambaBem for beautiful Brazilian dances. Capoeira Resistencia will turn voodoo on it with Maculele and acrobatic capoeria performances.
At all these street shows, you will also get the chance to meet some of our Monster Burlesque Cast and Crew, take photos and find out more about the show, and the amazing groups you are there to see.
