Youth Calendar

Showquest is an opportunity for ākonga (students) across Aotearoa to develop their confidence & leadership skills, work collaboratively, build resilience, enhance wellbeing and express their creativity.

A night to celebrate our creative ākonga, Showquest is a nationwide performing arts competition and a platform for youth voices to be heard. Be amazed by original stage performances combining Art, Music, Dance, Drama, Culture & Technology. Students design, produce and perform these stories in a powerful night of celebration and recognition from their community. Performances are centred around an issue chosen by and important to students.

Showquest's goal is to create multiple opportunities for ākonga around NZ to be involved in a creative endeavour - whether as performers, choreographers, backstage crew, designers, musicians or dancers. This creates positive experiences for students from the ages of 5-18, developing confidence, leadership skills and a passion for the arts. Young designers will follow the performances with a showstopping TOI wearable art showcase, which we produce in collaboration with World of WearableArt 'WOW'.

Watch friendly inter-school rivalries heat up as tamariki & rangatahi explore what is important to them. Join friends and whānau in supporting local emerging talent on the big stage!

Tickets are still available, so head to the Civic Centre for a great day of performances.
