CarniFulll - EP. 1 'The People's Podium' - Bringing an outer-worldly vibe to the inner-shores of Waiheke Island.

Simply put... EAT. DRINK. DANCE

New Zealand may be the last country on earth where this can take place... so let's do this for those that cannot.

----But what do I wear?----
While the average reveller might not be familiar with mas, it is integral to the carnival’s history. Short for masquerade, the idea of playing mas as part of a carnival band originated in Trinidad, we hope to keep this vibrant tradition alive!

Think closed-toe flats and sturdy shoes to make the most of the festivities. But don't forget: it is carnival! Wear your most colourful clothes and bring out all the accessories, including flags, whistles and hats. Get feathered-out!

----CarniFull - Episdoe 1 - 'The People's Podium... ----
The story starts at the precipice of possibilities...it's the year 2020 and the world has been thrown into a cauldron of chaos and confusion, from this unwanted concoction may arise an unintended opportunity... how do we value ourselves, each other and the planet...? take your place at the podium, bellow-out expressively, dance in excitement and expel your burning enthusiasm for how to move forward, you never know - it may just stick!
