INTERMISSION is a new podcast series examining the 2016 Auckland Arts Festival. It is made by RNZ in collaboration with arts and culture website The Pantograph Punch and hosted by Justin Gregory and Rosabel Tan. Over four episodes INTERMISSION will investigate whether our reviewing community is doing its job properly and whether colour blind casting is ever appropriate. We’ll ask if it is reasonable to expect theatre to save the world and what is we talk about when we talk about dance.
The theme music for INTERMISSION is ‘Francoise Hardy’ by Carnivorous Plant Society.
