Nicholas Joseph - Nicholas Joseph is a Kirikiriroa-based singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist with roots in the Auckland indie scene, having spent a decade as bassist for post-punk trio Vacants and later primary songwriter and frontperson of Deer Park. Taking cues from Big Thief, Unknown Mortal Orchestra and Nick Hakim, his music is arresting and melodic — unembellished, layered vocals over intricate electric guitar. Earlier this year he released an EP through Poneke collective Sonorous Circle — a restless, shape-shifting collection written and produced in an underground recording studio in Shanghai. One half of Kirikiriroa duo Big Sigh, Joseph is now set to release his debut album Sailing, recorded at Bagnall Hill Studio in Te Pahu and produced by De Stevens (Office Dog, Ernie Bell), with Arden Tanner-Dempsey on drums and De on bass guitar.

For the past ten years, every Monday morning has been reserved for a telephone conversation between Painter Jennie De Groot and Glassmaker Di Tocker. From their respective Waikato Studios, the two chat about everything from studio practices and the realities of running an arts business to exhibitions seen, opportunities considered, setbacks, successes and the constant challenge of maintaining momentum in what can be a surprisingly solitary profession.
Those conversations have become a pivotal part of their practice - a chance to share works in progress, test ideas, celebrate breakthroughs, and occasionally untangle creative knots.
Whilst Jennie and Di work in very different mediums, they share an affect for colour, an interest in a nuanced narrative and a shared curiosity about the world around them. Rather than telling the same story, the exhibition offers a glimpse into two distinct creative voices that have quietly influenced and encouraged one another over many years."
When disruption hits, the businesses that recover the fastest are the ones that planned ahead. This three-hour, hands-on workshop is designed for New Zealand business owners and managers who want a practical approach to business continuity planning, built around real-world disruption, not hypothetical risk.
You’ll leave with the practical tools to assess your vulnerabilities, build a plan tailored to your business, and respond with confidence when disruption arrives. You’ll also receive practical resources and templates to help tailor continuity planning to your operations, industry, location and risk scenarios.
What you’ll learn:
What business continuity planning is, why it matters and how to apply a BCP framework to your business
How to identify your most vulnerable business areas and understand the real cost of disruption
The importance of preparing across every part of your operation
Response frameworks and scenario testing to help you act quickly and communicate clearly when disruption hits
How to maintain and approve your plan over time so it stays relevant and useful
