Suggested koha $10-15 if you are able - it helps to pay for time, artists, advertising costs, & is deeply appreciated as at this time I do not have funding.
Gratitude to JD and the team at The Commoners for their warm hospitality, welcoming us back under new management. We wish them all the best with a new chapter and are grateful to be part of it. Small venues are so important to the lifeblood of the arts and any kind of community and The Commoners is a special place.
All are welcome to listen and share spoken art, kupu, thoughts, words, poetry, heart. Some of you will be long time professionals and celebrated artists in your field. Some of you will never have gotten up in public before. Some of you will just want to listen. It is all welcome and all has merit.
I created Common Ground Kā Tūka Toikupu to be a warm, brave, welcome space - a place to listen to one another, in respect, in celebration, sharing brave new work or old favourites, sitting, standing, sharing common ground, among each other. So yeah, come along, be cool, no hate speech, mostly anything else goes!
Nau mai, haere mai
Bring the gifts forward!
