Like all respectable collectives, we have cookies.
Te Whaea, the National Dance and Drama Centre, has been hosting a
random selection of Wellington jugglers every Wednesday for the last
two years. Jugglers of all skill levels gather to learn a new trick,
pass, catch, and at times dodge. The plaza’s a wide open space,
with tall ceilings and good lighting. Anyone looking for a throw is
welcome. Fidel’s on Cuba St is the regular afterwards for pizza
and beer.
Where: Te Whaea, Hutchison Road, Newtown.
When: Wednesdays 6:30pm to 8:30pm

Wellington Fire
Fire dance in Wellington is alive and well these days. Since November
2007 the a core group has been practising on Tuesday nights at Frank
Kitts park, with permissions from the council and Wellington Waterfront
Ltd. Permissions were granted because we presented a risk management
plan, and induction information for new comers. Several years
prior, a group used to meet there also on Tuesday nights, so the current
organizers decided to keep it on that day.
Where: Frank Kitts Park, Waterfront
When: Tuesdays, Dusk
