Not Your Average Instagram Entertainment

From Standing Room Only, 12:30 pm on 29 March 2020

From Monday morning, Kiwi performers will be presenting original work to the nation via Silo Theatre's Instagram account. And they're getting paid for it.

It's Silo's way of getting some money into the pockets of performers who're facing lean times during the Covid-19 lockdown, and of entertaining New Zealanders who're in self isolation.

Lynn talks to Sophie Roberts, artistic director at Silo and to the first of the selected Instagram artists.
