BONES

Join us for a free performance of Julian Noel’s One-man play about the deep stories that shape us and make us who we are.
Seating is limited so please book.

TE ATA MIRA
👉 Saturday 9th November 2.45pm
👉 Sunday 10th November 1.45 pm


Julian says, “We all carry stories in our bones bequeathed to us from our parents and former generations. Whilst BONES is essentially a Maori story, I wanted to touch on universal themes of family, belonging, loss and survival. Every human knows love and loss. When we turn to face the stories from the past we can write new stories for future generations.”.

What a delight to run my vocal mechanics workshops at 2024
So special to work with a large group of practicing musicians, and to also have a think about how we can use ukuleles in partnership with our voices and maintain great posture.
Well done TUF choir 🎶

What a delight to perform for the residents of Elmslie House Retirement Home for our end-of-term performance.
A beautiful opportunity to get chops up as vocalists and a gorgeous way to give back to our community. Win-win!

QLDC LOCAL- WE NEED YOU!!!
This is an email that came to me via the Creatives of Wanaka group.
As a community we have engaged in multiple hui to discuss and place importance on this due to the (very overdue) need for this space.
I urge you to give this your attention. All the hard work has been done below. It's about numbers so please copy, paste and submit:

Hello Everyone,

The proposed Wanaka Performing Arts and Cultural Facility has not been included in the Long Term Plan. There have been meetings with the Mayor & Wanaka councillors & believe they have made their decision based on inadequate advice from their advisors…a conference centre with a bit of arts!

This is not good! We urge you to submit your thoughts in support of the Performing Arts & Cultural facility before 28th July.

There is a template below to use - or submit your own to the following email address:

Tēnā koutou katoa,

Re: Submission in Support of Funding for the Wanaka Performance Arts and Cultural Centre

My name is and I am writing in my capacity as .

I am writing to express my strong support for the Wanaka Arts and Culture Charitable Trust's proposal for the Wanaka Performance Arts and Cultural Centre and to urge the Queenstown Lakes District Council to consider allocating funding to this transformative project in the 2024-2034 Long Term Plan.

Project Summary: Wanaka is poised for significant growth, with the population projected to exceed 50,000 within the next two decades. This growth presents an unprecedented opportunity to enhance our region's cultural, educational, and recreational offerings. The proposed Wanaka Performance Arts and Cultural Centre will be a cornerstone of this development, providing a world-class venue for performances, visual arts, and community events.

The Centre will feature:
*A 500-seat theatre with best-in-class acoustics, retractable seating, and high-quality backstage facilities.

*A 120-seat rehearsal theatre (Black Box) with similar characteristics.

*A visual art gallery, including a digital display space showcasing Kāi Tahu history.

*An industrial kitchen and café.

*A large foyer with a ticket office and a recognition wall for key patrons and benefactors. An outdoor performance space.

Economic and Social Benefits: This Centre will be an invaluable asset, driving both economic and social benefits:

Economic Impact:
Attract national and international performers, visual artists, and audiences. Increase regional visitors through an expanded calendar of events. Enhance the region's tourism brand by adding a prestigious arts venue.

Social Impact:
*Foster community connectedness by engaging thousands of people annually.

*Provide Kāi Tahu with a platform to share and express its cultural narratives.

*Strengthen the local creative community, inspire youth, and create educational pathways into creative occupations.

To build a national and regional community asset, we request that QLDC considers:

1. Allocation of $20 million in funding for the initial phases of the project in 2027.

2. Allocation an additional Capital Contribution of $20m in 2028

3. Provide an operational subsidy of $500,000 per annum from 2030 to 2035.

4. Engage in a collaborative partnership with the Wanaka Arts and Culture Charitable Trust to secure the remaining funds through public and private contributions.

5. Support the project's planning and development phases by facilitating necessary permits and approvals.

Conclusion: The Wanaka Performance Arts and Cultural Centre is more than just a building; it is a catalyst for cultural enrichment, economic growth, and community development. I urge QLDC to invest in our region's future by supporting this vital project.

Thank you for considering this submission, please feel free to contact me with any questions.

Warm regards,

A little creative home day with this cute chick. Upcycling lots of preloved jars for face cream. They make great gifts for friends, and I use it like crazy myself in this dry mountain air.
All natural and super lush!

I absolutely agree with this. There will be times when I’m teaching or performing, and piece of advice I’ve had stored away will suddenly drop in from the ether and make sense in its application. I’m so grateful for the amazing mentors in my life who offer me so many gold nuggets. Ain’t nuthin’ like a good mentor 👌🙏

Rehearsals are one of my favourite parts of the week. Not only because I get to hang and jam with a great crew of professional and talented muso’s, but also because I am learning so much about what it takes to work together as a team and how I can uplevel both vocally and performance-wise to help lock in a good sound in.
It’s snowing outside in this shot. Bring on summer for some sunny outdoor gigs! 🌞 🎶
