  • Theatre, Rugby and Samoan Masculine Identities
    1 Victoria University of Wellington School of English, Film, Theatre and Media Studies Blackout: Theatre, Rugby and Samoan Masculine identities Sepelini Mua’au A thesis submitted to the University of Wellington in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of a Masters in Arts (Theatre) 2016 2 Blackout: Theatre, Rugby and Samoan Masculine identities Abstract This thesis examines key ideas concerning masculinity and Samoan identity, focusing on the external and internal pressures placed on Pacific Island athletes in New Zealand and abroad to inform the development of an original script, Blackout. In 2014, as part of an Honours script-writing course, I wrote a first draft for my first full- length play. Inspired by the work of Samoan playwright Oscar Kightley, Blackout is a play that intersects the story of four young Pacific Island boys in their last year of College with the journey of a talented young Pacific Islander in his mid-20s trying to make his way in the Professional Rugby world. This thesis is part of a practice- based research project, comprising a 60% theory-based thesis (25,000 words) and 40% practical component, developing the script through three workshop productions. The two working questions the thesis and production process centre on are, firstly how the experiences of young second generation Samoan males can be explored through a contemporary theatre text, enabling the research to develop the story and characters of the play. The second, how the development of this script can enhance an understanding of what it is to be an emerging playwright, grounding the piece in personal experiences and contributing discoveries for young Pacific Playwrights.

  • RWC 2011 the INFRASTRUCTURE REQUIRED Rob Fisher
    RWC 2011 THE INFRASTRUCTURE REQUIRED Rob Fisher INTRODUCTION What is the infrastructure required for RWC 2011? The short answer is Eden Park. When the IRB and Rugby World Cup officials toured New Zealand in mid 2005, they were happy with the infrastructure which they saw for hosting RWC 2011 with one exception, the exception was Eden Park. Over the past few years there has been the significant upgrading of Jade Stadium, and new stadia developed such as Westpac Trust Stadium in Wellington and Waikato Stadium at Hamilton. However, the officials considered the existing capacity of Eden park at 47000 was too small and the capacity had to be lifted. However the short answer is not the full answer by any means. conservative budget, a mature and safe Winning the Bid tourism infrastructure and, crucially, an unmatched level of commitment and support But lets go back to November 2005. from the New Zealand Government.

  • “Le Bleu Et Le Noir”: New Zealand Perspectives on French Rugby 153
    “Le Bleu et le Noir”: New Zealand Perspectives on French Rugby 153 “Le Bleu et le Noir”: New Zealand Perspectives on French Rugby Geoffrey Watson New Zealand’s connections to France, via its national game, Rugby Union, extend over 100 years.1 To the extent to which New Zealanders read about France at all, much of it comes from sports reporting in the media, tour books and player biographies. Aspects of the sporting relationship between New Zealand and France have been commented on in a number of accounts, but there are few detailed surveys. New Zealand and the French: Two Centuries of Contact, first published in 1990, did not include a chapter on sport among its nineteen chapters, although editor John Dunmore made some allusions to rugby in his chapter on “French influences in New Zealand life.”2 This brief survey of New Zealand’s rugby encounters with France commences with a historical summary of four key periods: early contacts (1906-53); the era of mutual discovery (1961-68); the era of near parity (1973-1986); and France as nemesis and source of redemption (1987 to the present). It then considers New Zealand perceptions of French rugby and the way the game has promoted social and cultural ties between the two nations. Viewed purely in statistical terms, New Zealand’s rugby relationship with France may appear one-sided. Since the All Blacks first played France on New Year’s Day in 1906, New Zealand and France have played 54 international matches against each other. New Zealand has won 41 of these games, France 12 with one match drawn.3 These statistics do not, however, reveal the character of matches between the two nations, in particular the ability of French teams to win vital games against the All Blacks, such as Geoff Watson is Senior Lecturer in History at Massey University.
