On Standing Room Only, your arts and culture fix this Sunday 12.30pm-4pm we start with dancer Suzanne Cowan's new autobiographical work Manifesto of a Good Cripple and how disability can be turned into innovation. Then author Joanne Drayton on the stories behind the stories at NZ Listener, Judy Garland on At The Movies and Janet Davidson's close look at Te Papa's collection of artefacts taken by James Cook during three Pacific expeditions. Choreographer Loughlan Prior has reimagined Hansel and Gretel as a 1920s black and white German expressionist film noir world and our Laugh Track guests after the two o'clock news are self-styled "anti-slam poets" Ben Fagan and Sara Schmidt. Jo Walsh is decolonising institutions and part of a Culture Lab this Labour Weekend in Auckland, and then before three we have two novelists, Chris Else looking to a future guided by AI and J A Grierson's trilogy about the dark end days of the Roman Empire. Finally the Drama at 3 is the story of the tragic wreck of a bullion-laden ship just over 150 years ago.
