Internationally known New Zealand Medium, Kelvin Cruickshank, brings a powerful
evening of connection, comfort and spiritual insight to audiences across New Zealand.
During this live event, Kelvin demonstrates his ability to communicate with loved ones
in spirit, delivering heart felt messages filled with love, validation and healing.
Through humour, compassion and accuracy, Kelvin shows that the bond between this

insights to allow audience members to connect and interpret signs to deepen their own
connections and understanding of the spirit world.
As the evening unfolds you will be swept away on a journey of connection, compassion
and love. Many people find that these experiences leave them with a renewed sense of
hope, purpose, clarity and the understanding that love continues beyond our physical
realm.
Kelvin and his team look forward to welcoming you to one of his upcoming shows in

The debut choreographic work by Brydie Colquhoun (Ngāpuhi), one of Aotearoa New Zealand’s most captivating Māori contemporary dance artists, invites audiences to slow down, witness, and connect.
In an intimate environment, six dancers respond to each other and a shifting space while exploring tensions between individualism and community through entrancing movement, immersive sound design by Eden Mulholland, and distinctive spatial design by Rowan Pierce.
We are honoured to support this significant milestone in the evolving landscape of Māori contemporary dance.
