Ever wondered how a theatre works or wanted to have a better understanding of what is involved to make a production come to life? The Theatre Royal’s Open Day is the perfect opportunity to find out!
We are throwing open our doors and inviting you to step behind the scenes, giving you the opportunity to tread the boards of our stage and we will show you exactly how our theatre operates including the fly tower!
You will also have the opportunity to meet many of our local artists and companies who perform regularly at the theatre, join our Royal Family and find out about our technical training programmes that are available throughout the year.
It’s your chance to be ‘centre stage’! If you’ve ever wanted a look behind-the-scenes, to see how the magic of theatre really works, now is your chance.
Fight for Victory 3 is a charity event to raise funds for the Victory Boxing Club.
This year's event is to be held at Trafalgar Centre.
Victory Boxing's aim is to create a positive impact on young kids in the community, teach life skills, honesty, respect and caring, while developing opportunities for talented individuals.
The Victory Boxing Programme is now into its third and is pitching local Nelsonians against each other in support of this fastastic event. Training is already underway at the Victory Boxing Gym where many fighters are donning their gloves for the first time.
This event is brought to you by the Tahunanui Community Centre and is this year's main fundraising event.
Many of us are trying to understand how to raise children in a completely new family landscape. More and more of us are living in blended families...and we're also all facing new issues like technologically dependent teenagers, a tidal wave of alcohol and drugs, and a whole pile of other issues our parents' generation didn't have to even consider. In answer to all of these complex issues, Nigel presents an evening of evidence-based opinion and simplifying common sense. Just because the issues are complicated, doesn't mean that the solutions have to be.
Nigel has had a varied and colourful career which spans all the way from a brief episode as a busker in the eighties, to over two decades working as a clinical psychologist, and more recently as an author and documentary maker. In his clinical career he worked in sex offender treatment programmes, schools, alcohol and drug treatment programmes, prisons, and with many thousands of families. He also consulted with the police, child youth and family, and the prison service. In more recent years he's written books on both parenting and his work as a forensic psychologist which have now been published in nineteen countries. His television career has included documentaries on subjects ranging from parenting, to inequality, sugar, alcohol, antarctic science, and blowing stuff up. In 2012, he was appointed as an Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit.
