Cuts to the arts sector would have a significant impact on independent creators in Auckland - that's according to the director of an annual Māori theatre festival.

Amber Curreen from Te Pou Theatre says the industry is already struggling, and the cuts could be the death knell for some creations, and severely constrain others.
Amber Curreen spoke to Max Towle.
