CreativeMornings/Auckland with Michael Hurst
April 11, 8.00am-9.30am
Q Lounge
They say sex sells. Yet sex can be a pretty divisive subject; we face some pretty big questions when our work connects with sex: where’s the line we mustn’t cross? Is there a line? If there is, how to we recognise it? This month’s theme challenges us to confront those questions head-on.
Michael Hurst, this month’s speaker, is an actor, writer, and director. He has been a long-standing prominent figure in the New Zealand film & television industry, and in 2005 was designated the New Zealand Order of Merit for his work.
Over the years he has worked on many projects that might be considered sexual in nature. From directing and producing US series Spartacus; to his recent musicals, directed for the Auckland Theatre Company, Cabaret, and last year’s sold-out season of Chicago.
Michael says that while he may not have all the answers to the questions above, he’s certainly spent a lot of time thinking about them.
Join us over coffee to hear his story and share in his insights.
