Fiona Gates describes her journey to clay as both a homecoming and a rediscovery. Growing up in Tāmaki Makaurau before settling in Coroglen, she found in the Coromandel not just the beauty of beach and bush, but a stable foundation for her whānau and creative life.
You might tell a friend over a cup of coffee that you’ve got a sore back. But, “Guess what happened, my bladder/uterus/rectum slipped …”?
Living in Whitianga for over 50 years, I have witnessed the rapid decline of our native trees/shrubs/grasses/food sources and habitat for our native birds, insects, bees and butterflies.
If we’re talking pillars of the Coromandel music scene, Dylan Wade Lajunen deserves a mention. Living on the peninsula for 38 years, Dylan has had a long and rewarding career as a singer-songwriter/guitarist…
Raised in the Waikato, Raewyn has never forgotten the tutelage gained from many performers and teachers who had been in the theatre a lot longer than her.
