  • Christchurch Writers' Trail
    The Christch~rch Writers' Trail I The Christchurch c 3 mitersy&ai1 Page 1 Introduction 2 Writers Biographies Lady Barker e Canterbury Settlement, right from 1850, was notable for its exalted ideals. The @settlement's early colonists lugged ashore libraries, musical instruments, paints, Samuel Butler William Pember Reeves easels and plans for a grammar school and university. Within the first decade they Edith Grossmann started a newspaper, founded choral and orchestral societies, staged plays and Jessie Mackay started a public library. A surprising number of these pioneers were competent Arnold Wall writers. The published memoirs, letters, journals and poetry left by Charlotte Godley, Blanche Bau han Edward and Crosbie Ward, James FitzGerald, Henry Sewell, Sarah Courage, Laurence Johannes An 8ersen Kennaway, Lady Barker, Samuel Butler and other "pilgrims" established a robust Mary Ursula Bethell literary tradition in Canterbury, particularly in non-fiction and poetry. From the Alan Mulgan 1930s to the early 1950s, during Denis Glover's association with The Caxton Press, Esther Glen Oliver Duff Christchurch was indisputably the focal point of New Zealand's artistic life. The N~aioMarsh town's cultural and literary importance - about 280 writers are listed in this booklet D Arcy Cresswell in a record which is by no means definitive - continues to this day. Monte Holcroft James Courage The Canterbury Branch of the New Zealand Society of Authors has, with generous Allen Curnow assistance from The Community Trust, now laid 32 writers' plaques in various parts Essie Summers of Christchurch. It is hoped that the process begun in 1997 of thus honouring the Denis Glover literary talent of our town and province, will long continue.

  • The Christchurch Earthquake Appeal
    Westminster Abbey CHRISTCHURCH EARTHQUAKE MEMORIAL SERVICE Sunday 27 March 2011 Noon 2 Diocese of Christchurch, New Zealand A MESSAGE FROM THE BISHOP OF CHRISTCHURCH On 22 February at 12.51 pm, many people in Christchurch were busy at work or having lunch. Schools had closed early that day so a large number of children were on their way home. Very quickly, the enormity of the earthquake became apparent; as buildings collapsed people rushed to save themselves and others with examples of spontaneous, selfless courage—often to total strangers. Now, almost a month later and in the aftermath of the Christchurch Memorial Service, people are still grieving. News of Japan’s disaster sent a chill through Christchurch again. There is thankfulness to be alive and a desire to help others. There is also overwhelming gratitude for the outpouring of love, support, and assistance from other nations. Thank you to the people of London and beyond who have such heart for Kiwis, particularly the strong expatriate community. Thank you for your care and compassion, and please continue to pray for New Zealand and the people of Christchurch. To all those who have lost loved ones our prayers of consolation, compassion, and intercession are offered. ‘Rest eternal grant unto them, O Lord. And let light perpetual shine upon them.’ May they rest in peace and rise in glory. May those who remain honour the memory of the departed. They will not be forgotten and the future Christchurch will be shaped by their memory. In the compassionate love of Christ, + Victoria Bishop of Christchurch Christchurch, New Zealand 3 Members of the congregation are kindly requested to refrain from using private cameras, video, or sound recording equipment.

  • Sarah Class Biography
    SARAH CLASS BIOGRAPHY “ Sarah Class is one of Britain’s brightest musical stars. Her style is both hauntingly ethereal and sensual, mingling folky influences and a powerfully romantic blend of orchestral and electronic sonorities…..” HMV Classical Reviews Magazine Emmy and Brit nominated Sarah Class has become one of Britains most sought after composers and is described as having ‘the midas touch’ when it comes to creating music. An award winning, accomplished musician, scoring for films, television and the concert arena, producer, songwriter, and singer, Sarah brings a special array of talents to every commission. A classically trained pianist from an early age, Sarah developed a huge love of jazz and improvisation. At 18 she started in the recording studio at Chichester University creating her own compositions and studying jazz piano. She gained a high (B,A Hons.) degree in Music with Related Arts. After graduating she went straight into the music business travelling extensively through Europe and the USA writing and performing with other artists developing her own unique style. Her ability as a composer was soon recognised, and as the attached credits show she quickly started to make her mark in the world of television and subsequently the film in- dustry.Sarah’s first major break was when she was asked to compose the score for an in- dependent feature film titled ‘The Weekend’ starring Gina Rowlands and Brooke Shields. This production brought Sarah to the attention of legendary producer Sir George Martin who subsequently took her under the wing of George Martin Music to help and guide her career.

  • Performance of Posttensioned Seismic Retrofit of Two Stone Masonry Buildings During the Canterbury Earthquakes
    Australian Earthquake Engineering Society 2013 Conference, Nov 15-17 2013, Hobart, Tasmania Performance of posttensioned seismic retrofit of two stone masonry buildings during the Canterbury earthquakes Dmytro Dizhur1, Sara Bailey2, John Trowsdale3, Michael Griffith4 and Jason M. Ingham5 1. Research Fellow, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Auckland, Private Bag 92019, Auckland, New Zealand, [email protected] 2. Student Researcher, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Auckland, Private Bag 92019, Auckland, New Zealand, [email protected] 3. Arts Centre Project Director, Holmes Consulting Group, P O Box 6718, Christchurch 8442, New Zealand, [email protected] 4. Professor, School of Civil, Environmental and Mining Engineering, University of Adelaide, Adelaide, Australia, [email protected] 5. Professor, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Auckland, Private Bag 92019, Auckland, New Zealand, [email protected] Abstract Seismic retrofitting of unreinforced masonry buildings using posttensioning has been the topic of many recent experimental research projects. However, the performance of such retrofit designs in actual design level earthquakes has previously been poorly documented. In 1984 two stone masonry buildings within The Arts Centre of Christchurch received posttensioned seismic retrofits, which were subsequently subjected to design level seismic loads during the 2010/2011 Canterbury earthquake sequence. These 26 year old retrofits were part of a global scheme to strengthen and secure the historic building complex and were subject to considerable budgetary constraints. Given the limited resources available at the time of construction and the current degraded state of the steel posttension tendons, the posttensioned retrofits performed well in preventing major damage to the overall structure of the two buildings in the Canterbury earthquakes.

  • Canterbury Wellbeing Index, September 2016, Section 11
    Canterbury Wellbeing Index People participate in and attend the arts 2016 The Canterbury Wellbeing Index tracks the progress of social recovery in greater Christchurch following the earthquakes using indicators to identify emerging social trends and issues. Why is it important for people to be involved in the arts? People attend and participate in the arts for pleasure, creative expression, personal growth, and learning. Through participation in the arts, people are able to establish social ties and connect with their own and other cultures. When individuals gain such advantages, the wider public also benefits. For example, cultures have greater empathy and understanding towards each other and communities are more able to express and create common values and identity.1 In addition, the arts promote broad social, cultural and economic goals, such as economic growth and better academic performance. New Zealanders support the arts strongly. In a 2014 survey, carried out by Creative New Zealand, 78 per cent of respondents agreed that arts help define who we are as New Zealanders and 74 per cent agreed that the arts contribute positively to our economy. Respondents agreed that their community would be poorer without the arts (69 per cent) and supported public funding of the arts (74 per cent).2 Research in 2014 also found that 99 per cent of adults in Christchurch had been to at least one cultural event or place within the previous three years.3 This proportion is slightly higher than the national average of 98 per cent. A literature review of research evaluating arts and cultural initiatives post-earthquakes in Christchurch found a number of positive impacts on community wellbeing, including on people’s physical and mental health, community resilience, and urban identity.
