BAXTER, MERVYN THOMPSON, RENtE AND ROBERT LORD, FIVE PLAYWRIGHTS WHO HAVE HELPED TO CHANGE THE FACE OF NEW ZEALAND DRAMA. A thesis presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy III English at Massey University [Palmerston North], New Zealand Susan Lillian Williams 2006 11 DEDICATION I dedicate this thesis to my grandfather and my mother, neither of whom had the privilege of gaining the education that they both so much deserved. I stand on their shoulders, just as my son, David, will stand on mine. The writing of this thesis, however, would not have been possible without the unstinting assistance of Ainslie Hewton. Finally, to my irreplaceable friend,Zeb, the puppy I wanted and never had as a child. Zeb nurtured me throughout this long project and then, in the last week of completion, was called by the black rabbit. Thank you for everything you taught me Zebedee. You and I will always be playing alongside your beloved riverbank. III ABSTRACT Drama has been the slowest of the arts to develop an authentic New Zealand 'voice.' This thesis focuses on the work of five playwrights: Bruce Mason, James K. Baxter, Mervyn Thompson, Renee and Robert Lord, all of whom have set out to identify such a 'voice' and in so doing have brought about a metamorphosis in the nature of New Zealand drama.

  • The Bicultural Landscape & Māori Theatre
    The bicultural landscape & Māori theatre Note: Teachers can decide for themselves when to provide this contextual material to their class in relation to the work on the plays – before (to set the context), during (as issues arise), or after (as a discovery from the plays) – depending on individual class dynamics and teacher planning preferences. The interest in working with Purapurawhetū and The Pohutukawa Tree together is that they stand fifty years apart in the history of New Zealand theatre, and show fifty years of difference in the way they evoke New Zealand identity. We can take them as marker posts in defining our bicultural landscape. A working definition of ‘bicultural’ We live in a country that draws on both Māori and ‘Western’ cultures for its mainstream heritages. We call that two-fold cultural heritage ‘biculturalism’. Although many diverse immigrant groups fit into the mix of New Zealand society, the value systems and history that define our national identity are Māori and ‘Western’. The term ‘Western’ does not, of course, refer only the geographical west of Europe (which is the origin of the term) – it has become a way of naming the English-speaking global culture. In New Zealand we call it Pākehā. The relationship between the two cultures, as we know, is not stable. It is always changing, just as the cultures themselves are changing. The term ‘bicultural’ describes this interaction, not a place of arrival. This section of the project offers a brief history of the way theatre has approached bicultural interaction in New Zealand, and invites the making of new performances that describe that interaction – both as it has been in the past and as it may be in the future.

  • Breaking the Stage: from Te Matatini to Footprints/Tapuwae
    7. Breaking the Stage: From Te Matatini to Footprints/Tapuwae TE RITA PAPESCH, SHARON MAZER The post-imperial writers of the Third World therefore bear their past within them – as scars of humiliating wounds, as instigation for different practices, as potentially revised visions of the past tending towards a post-colonial future, as urgently reinterpretable and redeployable experiences, in which the formerly silent native speaks and acts on territory reclaimed as part of a general movement of resistance, from the colonist.1 You can take my marae to the stage but don’t bring the stage to my marae.2 Mihi Kei te mingenga e pae nei, tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā tātou katoa. Ahakoa i tukuna ngā mihi i nākuanei kua riro māku anō te mihi nā māua ki a koutou i tēneki wā, nā reira, nau mai, haere mai ki ‘Ka Haka – Empowering Performance’.

  • Rituals of the New Zealand Maori
    New Zealand Māori Marae Rituals applied to Theatre Jane Boston in conversation with Annie Ruth to discuss how the social improvisatory framework of encounters on the marae (Maori meeting place) can teach theatre practitioners a great deal about meeting and connecting with audiences. The combination of structure and improvisation, aligned to clarity around role and purpose, can shift the paradigm of the encounter. This event took place at Central School of Speech & Drama on 25 October 2011. Improvisation and structure Karanga (0.00 – 1.57) Tena koutou, tena koutou, tena koutou katoa Welcome, thrice welcome Kō te ipu kawe korero e poipoi ne May the pitcher of our talk nourish us Te kaupapa o te wā With the processes that we share Haria mai ra ngā kotou kete kōreo Bring out the baskets to fill with our mutual talk.
