Guys and Dolls
Every second year Otumoetai College mounts a major production. In alternate years there are the junior and senior school plays. This year it’s Guys and Dolls with Head of Drama, Mandy Rowe the Production Manager and Directors Dave & Lisa Wilson. Costumes for this 1950’s tale of attraction of opposites and the development of the influence of good on bad have been hired from the Tauranga Musical Theatre.
It’s an all College production combining the varied talents of the school including the Student Art Department which has created the designs for posters and programmes and Technology Teacher Steve Gilvear and students who have created the production’s sets.
This afternoon four of the leading members of the cast take time out of their lunch hour to costume up and talk with ARTbop. I meet Callista who is Mission Sarah; Josh the gambler Sky; Ella as Adelaide the long suffering dancer girlfriend of Nathan played by James. Mandy lines up the costumed players for a unique photo for ARTbop.
How do these four young people ranging in age from 15 – 17 years do all the things they tell me they are doing and also for James, a school leader, maintain leadership roles and studies. It’s obviously hardwork with an outstanding level of time management. They all talk about the comradeship of the theatre family and how they enjoy performing. They assure me this show will be fabulous and provide memories for them and us for a long time to come.

Matariki Whanau Night
Bringthe family down to Rotorua Museum to share in some fun Matariki celebrations. With storytelling, arts and crafts, star gazing, Starlab (inflatable planetarium) and more there will be something to keep the whole family entertained from 5pm.
The Travelling Tuatara’s will captive young audiences with two interactive performance adventures during the evening. Matariki is a star cluster which reappears in the Southern skies during the cold months of winter’ signalling the beginning of the Māori New Year. About 500 stars make up the cluster, but only seven can be seen clearly with the naked eye here in Aotearoa New Zealand. Traditionally Matariki was celebrated by gathering with whanau (family) and reflecting on the past. The festival’s connection to the stars provided an opportunity for families to remember their whakapapa (genealogy) and those ancestors who had passed away. During the Museum’s Matariki whanau nights the Bathhouse Café will be open for refreshments throughout the evening.
ADVANCED BOOKINGS ARE ESSENTIAL – there are only limited number of Starlab sessions available to the first people that book. Adults $5, children $3 and under 5’s free.Tickets will be sale at Rotorua Museum reception.

BAY OF PLENTY SYMPHONIA
Legacy Trust ‘Major Keys’
In its next concert series on August 9th and 10th, the Bay of Plenty Symphonia returns to a classical programme under its Musical Director Justus Rozemond. All the pieces to be played are in major keys: Beethoven’s lively 7th Symphony in A major, Wagner’s beautiful lullaby ‘Siegfried Idyll’ in E major, and Castelnuovo-Tedesco’s Concerto for marimba and orchestra in D major. The marimba is a remarkable keyed percussion instrument, with a mellow and deep sound. In this performance the solo part will be played by Yoshiko Tsuruta, who is the only dedicated marimbist in New Zealand, and the winner of a number of prestigious prizes. The Bay of Plenty Symphonia is proud to have the opportunity to accompany Yoshiko in what will be a wonderful visual as well as auditory experience

The New Zealand International Film Festival (NZIFF)
Tauranga NZIFF screenings 21 August – 14 September 2014
The first four festival films are confirmed for 2014. All four films have a musical theme and are the first insight into the latest international cinema planned for screenings in July, August and September around New Zealand with NZIFF.
“Music has always been a crucial part of the celebration at NZIFF. The evidence to date makes it very clear that 2014 will be no exception. The first films are:
20,000 DAYS ON EARTH
Referring to the number of days he has been alive, this engrossing experimental documentarytakes a sly, sideways look at the musician and sometimes filmmaker Nick Cave. Cave plays subject, narrator and master of ceremonies, with directors Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard following as he talks to his on-screen shrink, discusses meaningful ife-changing events and chauffeurs friends around Brighton. Winner – Sundance Film Festival 2014, Directing Award and Editing Award (World Cinema)
http://www.nziff.co.nz/2014/wellington/20000-days-on-earth/
PULP
Kiwi director Florian Habicht (Love Story) collaborates with Jarvis Cocker as UK pop rockers Pulp head in to their triumphant 2012 concert, giving a career best performance documented exclusively by the film. Weaving together the band’s personal offerings, Habicht accosts down-to-earth Sheffielders with questions about fame, love, mortality and the meaning of Jarvis. Pulp is a music-film like no other – by turns funny, moving and life-affirming.
http://www.nziff.co.nz/2014/wellington/pulp-a-film-about-life-death-an
d-suprmarkets/
FRANK
In this offbeat comedy a young wannabe musician, Jon (Domhnall Gleeson), finds himself out of his depth when he joins an avant-garde pop band led by the bizarre and enigmatic Frank (Michael Fassbender), a musical genius who hides himself inside a large fake head. A knowing satire of its wilfully obscure musicians, Irish director Lenny Abrahamson’s film ultimately comes down very much in their favour.
http://www.nziff.co.nz/2014/wellington/frank/
JIMI:ALL IS BY MY SIDE
Described as one of the most rarely told stories in rock history, Academy Award-winning writer-director John Ridley (12 Years a Slave) shows us Jimi Hendrix before he was Jimi Hendrix. In a portrait of the icon as a young man from 1966–1967, charismatic hip-hop star Andre Benjamin (one half of Outkast) stars as Jimmy James, an unknown backup guitarist playing New York’s Cheetah Club. The film presents an intimate portrayal of the sensitive, struggling guitarist on the verge of becoming a rock legend.
