Hine - Basement Theatre

21 - 25 June
Once upon a time I was told that I was divine. Once upon a time I believed I was divine. Now I'm not so sure.
HINE dances the veil between our divinity and our human reality. HINE reclaims the sacredness of women through ceremony, dance, and waiata. HINE seeks to activate te mana o te wahine, celebrating te whare tangata by weaving together sacred stories and sacred rites.
In reclaiming our sacredness as women we are restoring the balance. We invite you to take a journey with us, and navigate the tides of womanhood together.

No full textHamilton-based multimedia ensemble DR. MESMER’S PRIVATE ARMY (Jeremy Mayall, Kent Macpherson, Yotam Levy and Paul Bradley) will be bring their intricate tapestries of sound and visuals to Wallace Gallery Morrinsville for a one night only performance.
Their collective approach to performance really exists in the colour of sound, the magic of the moment where, inspired by space and time, fleeting ideas can create new compositions based around musical fragments and field recordings.
On Friday November 11th (from 6pm), in the
Wallace Gallery Morrinsville, Dr. Mesmer’s Private Army will perform a live synthesis of found sound, piano and electronics, sonic textures, and live instrumental playing, which is paired with live visual art projection. The group aim to transform the gallery into a transcendental space, playing with the perception of time through deconstructing the conventions of traditional compositional and performative approaches.
The performance of "Illuminated Stillness" is a unique long form musical composition within which different ideas, textures, fragments, themes and variations will be delicately woven. It is a great opportunity to end the working week and settle into the weekend with a audio-visual experience that will be relaxing and meditative, allowing the audience to become part of the immersive multimedia journey.

Social workers and social media in changing times: Look out you rock ‘n rollers [Conference powerpoint slides]
Get PDFThese are strange, changing times and New Zealand social workers it appears, through their use of social media, are turning to face them; in doing so they are perhaps beginning to get a new sense of themselves in the social media space. This presentation will offer a selection of findings from recent local research projects and anecdotal (collective) experience to compose a beginning picture of the unique relationship between social workers in Aotearoa, and their social media.
At this point in our history, with the profound impact of neoliberal policy on social services, it is timely for social workers to consider the role of social media in their work. Social media provides opportunity to engage with the profession on a global scale, to access relevant news and analysis of current events, to access to research and learning resources, and to participate actively in social change (Ballantyne, 2013). New Zealand social workers have been invited by its profession to engage with the world wide web at least since 2001, to make full use its resources, to be critical of its globalisation agenda and to promote its unique bicultural practice model (O’Donoghue, 2001). The use of social media in practice is by necessity becoming a growing feature of social work education (Megele, 2015; Westwood, 2014).
This presentation will share data collected in a 2014 survey of social workers and their use of social media, subsequent key informant interviews on the same topic, and data collected in a more recent (2015) survey of social workers using a local social work Facebook page. Using brief analysis of this data together with the literature related to social work and social media, this presentation will offer participants some useful discussion points about the behavior of social workers in the social media landscape, the role social workers could play in this realm and the challenges facing them. By better understanding the phenomenon of Web 2.0, social workers may perhaps feel more equipped to “turn and face the strange changes” (Bowie, 1972)
