  • State of the Arts
    Te Tohu a Toi STATE OF THE ARTS South Taranaki Arts Bulletin # 43 Autumn 2021 | Art News | Opportunities | Exhibitions | Art Events | The Everybody’s Theatre Centennial Celebrations were held in February It’s been awesome to see the transformation and journey of this historic Ōpunakē facility over recent years by the dedicated trustees, community, collaborators and funders. While many groups and towns would be daunted and overwhelmed by challenges such as earthquake strengthening and major refurbishment, the cheerleaders for Everybody’s Theatre have triumphed through hard work and commitment to the cause. The celebration included free movie screenings, lots of dress-ups, live jazz music and dancing. A new centennial book has been compiled by Maree Drought and Debbie Campbell, showing an in-depth look at the changing face of the Theatre building since 1910. The Theatre hosts special events and runs a monthly Boutique Night, as well as showing new movies on the Coast. Well done to all involved, your achievements are inspirational. Everybody’s Theatre Trustees celebrate 100 years I recently had the pleasure of attending the Hāwera Repertory production of Bugsy Malone at another impressive and very well equipped South Taranaki facility, Hāwera Memorial Theatre. I was blown away by the outstanding talent on show by the youth actors, dancers and band, as well as the seamless production, sets and lighting. If you’ve ever wanted to be a part of the live theatre experience, I encourage you to get involved and join a local group. Accessibility to arts and creativity is essential for everyone in Aotearoa.

  • The Social History of Taranaki 1840-2010 Puke Ariki New Zealand
    Date : 07/06/2006 Common Ground: the social history of Taranaki 1840-2010 Bill Mcnaught Puke Ariki New Zealand Meeting: 153 Genealogy and Local History Simultaneous Interpretation: No WORLD LIBRARY AND INFORMATION CONGRESS: 72ND IFLA GENERAL CONFERENCE AND COUNCIL 20-24 August 2006, Seoul, Korea http://www.ifla.org/IV/ifla72/index.htm Abstract: Puke Ariki opened in 2003 and is the flagship museum, library and archival institution for Taranaki. Some commentators have suggested that there is no region in New Zealand with a richer heritage than Taranaki, but some episodes were among the most difficult in New Zealand’s history. There is a growing view that New Zealand needs to talk about some of its difficult history before it can heal the wounds that are still apparent in society. ‘Common Ground’ is a ground-breaking 5 year programme that begins in 2006 to look at the social history of Taranaki including some of the painful chapters. This paper explains some of the background and ways of joint working across library, museum and archival professions at Puke Ariki. Puke Ariki (pronounced ‘poo kay ah ree kee’ with equal emphasis on each syllable) means ‘Hill of Chiefs’ in the Māori language. Before Europeans arrived it was a fortified Māori settlement - also a sacred site because the bones of many chiefs are said to have been interred there. When the British settlers founded the small city of New Plymouth in the 19th century they removed the hill and used the soil as the foundation material for industrial building. Today it is the location for the flagship Taranaki museum, library and archival institution.

  • SURF HIGHWAY 45 Your Guide to the Touring Route Around Taranaki’S Coastline
    SURF HIGHWAY 45 Your guide to the touring route around Taranaki’s coastline taranaki.co.nz/visit WELCOME TO THE SURF HIGHWAY Surf Highway 45 is the 105km coastal route connecting New Plymouth (1) in the north to Hāwera (2) in the south. Between these centres there are dozens of notable places to stop, from surf breaks, beaches, points of historic and cultural interest, scenic spots, and cafés in vibrant and welcoming villages. A journey along the Surf Highway traces the route of generations of surfers, but it offers much more than just surf. The highway weaves through a number of Taranaki’s stories – the surf, the landscape, the rich history, and the creativity, all the while under the watchful gaze of Taranaki Maunga. For more information head to taranaki.co.nz/visit RICH IN HISTORY Taranaki’s history begins with our picture-perfect ancestor Taranaki Maunga and his mythical journey from the Central Plateau (brokenhearted after losing a battle for Mount Pihanga) and includes historic land battles, the birth of the passive resistance movement, and pioneering industrial growth, all of which have contributed to modern-day Taranaki and the many vivid stories we have to tell. These stories are best experienced through the many museums on offer, with the following located on or near Surf Highway 45. • New Plymouth’s waterfront Puke Ariki (1) is a museum, library and i-SITE providing information about the city’s past and present. A fascinating guided walk is also available – book at the i-SITE, 1 Ariki St, New Plymouth. • Tawhiti Museum and Traders & Whalers (3) has been repeatedly judged one of the country’s best museums, and has to be experienced to be believed.

  • Local Skateboarders Keen for Skate Park Extension
    JUNE 2009 Local Skateboarders Keen for Skate Park Extension Seven years ago a report by American Sports Data found there were approxi- mately 18.5 million skate boarders in the world. 85% of those polled were under 18 and 74% were male. Today skate boarding continues to ride a huge wave of popularity world wide particularly with young males and for us here in New Plymouth it is no different. This is an important population demographic represented in the data. Too often this group of young males features dis- proportionably high in our negative statistics. Spending an afternoon down at our local skate park, the American statistics about who is participating in the sport certainly look spot on but what was great to see happening down at the skate park on this gorgeous autumn afternoon was that this sport was anything but negative. The day I visited the East End Skate Park it had its regular ‘Thursday’ afternoon invasion of thirty New Plymouth Boys High students. No they weren’t skipping school but were here as part of their Utility Period option with teacher Catherine Beaton in attendance. Mrs Beaton commented that there were 56 boys wanting to take this option for Utility Period but it was restricted to 30 past here frequently and this place is NPBHS student, Denim Lellmann at to keep it less crowded and manageable. extremely popular!

  • Te Rewa Rewa a Bridge That Really Connects
    Te Rewa Rewa – A Bridge that really connects For bridges to give dignity to their setting they must first be built with dignity By Peter Mulqueen: FIPENZ, CPEng, IntPE(NZ), Bridge Engineer and Designer; Ironhorse Bridge Ltd, New Zealand Figure 1: Te Rewa Rewa Bridge with Mount Taranaki in the background. The bridge allowed the extension of the existing New Plymouth Coastal Walkway to cross the Waiwhakaiho River and be extended to the suburb of Bell Block. There is very little written about the creative process as it pertains to bridge design. As a designer, I’ve learned to dissect the thought processes needed to develop a design concept for whichever project is before me. So it was with the Te Rewa Rewa shared pathway bridge. I have defined the creative process for bridge design as being made up of three advancements. The first is from the mind of the designer onto paper by making sketches. The second is from these sketches to engineering drawings. The third advancement is from the drawing board to the wonder of a wholly completed bridge. It’s the first advancement that will be my focus here. During the first advancement, an engineer must hold multiple visions of the bridge in his mind’s eye. These are sometimes described as ‘a four-fold vision of the project, simultaneously considering issues of structural form, mathematical analysis, construction methods, and the relationship of the structure to the site.’ (1) Personally, I have renamed and reordered these to reflect my experience of concept development with the Te Rewa Rewa Bridge.
