Cityscape Summer 2020
Welcome to 2020. For our first issue of a new decade, Cityscape has taken up the 5 Ways to Wellbeing as a kaupapa, or set of principles, underpinning our editorial direction for 2020 and beyond. If you haven’t heard of them before, the 5 Ways – Connect, Be active, Take notice, Keep Learning, and Give – have been taken up by mental health agencies and organisations around the world. There is extensive scientific evidence that if practised regularly, the 5 Ways will lift your wellbeing. The challenge is to find ways to introduce these actions into our daily lives. Between the covers of Cityscape we have curated a selection of experts local and international that can help. Supporting local businesses by getting offline and in-store is one way to connect with your community as well as be more active and giving – as consumers, we often make big decisions about where to spend our money on the basis of saving a dollar or two. Remember, when you buy from a small business, an actual person does a happy dance! We have all our regular features and contributors as well, and all that’s hot in beauty, cuisine, home and events.

23 Jan – 16 Feb, breadandcircus.co.nz
REUBEN KAYE
High energy, camp
as anything and full
of filthy humour,
this cabaret show

your toes. The
explosion of
sequins, lashes and
teeth that is
Reuben Kaye will
dazzle, delight and
tickle your funny
bone.
FEAST OF
FOOLS
Expect the
unexpected at this
masked moving
feast. Think
medieval banquet
meets adult Alice in
Wonderland
– that’s about the
only hint you’re
getting!
BLANC DE
BLANC
A cabaret show like
no other, Blanc de
Blanc brings
acrobatics, vintage
glamour and
titillating acts that
will infatuate and
delight you. This
high-end spectacle
will have you
wowing.
GAMARJOBAT
This Japanese
comic is mindbogglingly
bonkers
and will have you
laughing at every
cheeky and
imaginative
moment. You won’t
find any chit-chat
here, just physical
comedy and loads
of interactive
moments.
MODERN
MĀORI
QUARTET
They’re suave,
seductive and
smooth as silk.
Prepare to be
spellbound by the
Modern Māori
Quartet, who
channel the revival
of ‘rat pack’
showband
entertainment of
bygone eras with a
proud heritage of
Māori traditions.
MAVERICKS
– DAREDEVIL
CHICKEN AND
MISS BEHAVE
This mixed bag of a
show will leave you
scratching your
head. Each show is
different and will
present a lucky dip
of favourite
routines and
renegade numbers.
FRICKIN
DANGEROUS
BRO
Bringing classic
Kiwi humour to the
table, this cocky
comedy trio will
bring together their
well-crafted
writing, poor acting
skills and hilarious
wit. Expect a
unique, multicultural
and funny
point of view.
FLO AND
JOAN
These comedic
sisters perform
some dark and
waggish songs that
are sure to make
you giggle. Expect
songs about
anything from
saving the bees to
meeting men and
drinking too much.
BUSKERS
BREWERY
TOUR
Less of a
performance and
more of a tiki tour
of the city’s finest
breweries, the
Buskers Brewery
Tour will be led by
beer aficionado
Keith Preene. Join
the bus full of
buskers and be
entertained as the
double-decker
takes you for a few
cheeky bevvys.
SHADES
OF BUBLÉ
The sweet, soothing
sounds of the
Grammy Awardwinning
Michael
Bublé will be
performed by a trio.
The dazzling
renditions will
include some
smooth dance
moves, tight
harmonies and
dashing good looks.
