The next generation of contemporary New Zealand actors take to the stage in 2009 in The Ensemble Project, building on the hugely successful AK07 incarnation that played to critical acclaim and capacity houses. Eight actors will be put through their paces by celebrated Auckland Directors Michael Hurst and Oliver Driver, creating two works that will then be performed in repertory during the Festival. Oliver Driver will direct the devised work Back Story, a celebration of Auckland as an urban metropolis where differing cultures and communities live in a proximity that is sometimes too close for comfort.

Auckland Festival 2009 brings the city alive next March with a dazzling programme of more than 200 arts and entertainment events, packed into eighteen exciting days. The biennial festival is a feast of theatre, dance, concerts, cabaret, exhibitions, family events and more, featuring some of the finest national and international artists and companies.

Anyone within a 1km radius is too close for comfort when I am walking home alone in the dark!

Diving at the Cavalli Island up North suddenly everything beneath me disappeared, like a black-out and I thought i had gone temporarily blind. But I could still see the sides of my mask so became more confused. Then realised the black was moving and in fact it was a massive sting ray coming up towards me. Luckily I was just beside the boat and hauled myself up the ladder quick smart, just in time as the Stingray surfaced right where I had been.

As a car park attendant, I find that too close for comfort is when customers can't see 6' 2" me standing in the middle of the carpark and they drive into me. One wonders which Weet-Bix box was involved in the issuing of their licence.

Those crazy people who get caught on tape who run or drive across train tracks and almost die!!!!

I usually bike to work, and unfortunately, a few times buses and cars have come a bit too close for my comfort. Share the road is the message that has been spread this year, but the big boys don't always want to share their toys, and I don't want to become a statistic. I've had to put up with damage to my bike by crashing into the kerb in an effort to escape. Why can't they just move over a fraction and give me some space? Thanks.

Friends live just a few km from major bush fires in Melbourne - too close for comfort from my perspective this far away - yet they think that living in Wellington with the ever-present threat of earthquakes is far worse. It all depends on your own perspective.

The raging bush fires in Victoria are way too close to comfort for me - all that devastation and destruction is only an ocean away....

Putting out the fire that one of the friends that you were visiting inadvertently started in a girl's university hostel by throwng a cigarette butt into a rubbish bin?

Too close for comfort is when you see a speed camera and realise you are just on 110km, or one boyfriend has just driven away when another one arrives unexpectedly, you are in a queue of traffice stopped to be breathalised (having had a few drinks) and are the next in line but get waved on as the first cop thinks you have been checked, or you get stopped and are just under the limit.
