As a graduate of Theatre Studies from Otago University and a former employee of the Fortune Theatre, I fully support those working "on the ground" in Otepoti Dunedin who hold the fraying strings of theatre and performing arts. The DCC funding from the 2021-31 10 Year Plan is imperative in maintaining/supporting this sector and the Performing Arts Group Statement of Intent proposal, and should be reinstated in the 9-year plan. As a former employee of The Court Theatre in Otautahi Christchurch, I know firsthand how important council support and funding was in the build of the new theatre, as is their belief in theatre and performing arts' contribution to the revitalisation and growth of the city as a whole. I am also someone who has since left Aotearoa New Zealand, mostly due to the lack of theatre and performing arts career opportunities - how many other arts graduates have left the Dunedin? Certainly more than have stayed. Otepoti Dunedin is a vibrant city full of artists. Support them. Support the influence of arts on the wellbeing of your citizens. Support the growth of a sector that the country is always so proud of.
