One Night Band
Winner / Most Original Production, Wellington Theatre Awards 2023
Nominee / Outstanding Composer of Music, Wellington Theatre Awards 2023
One Night Band is a show about music, art, and creating art in a community. The show takes place over twelve hours, with a live band writing and recording a new original song every hour. All this done with the suggestions and help of the audience. By the end of the twelve hours a fully recorded and mixed original album is made.
One Night Band (originally called How to Write an Album in 12 Hours) debuted as part of the 2018 ‘Summer of 77’ Masters of Fine Arts theatre festival. It had another season as part of that year's New Zealand Fringe festival, where it won the NZ Fringe PANNZ Tourmakers award, the NZ Fringe most innovative work award and was nominated for the Best Directed Chaos award. It then went on to be performed at the 2019 Auckland Fringe festival and the 2019 Hutt Winter festival.
