Aotearoa vocalist Milly Moon and Naarm-based drummer Lyle Jenkins introduce a fresh collaboration with their project ‘Milly Moon & The Velvet Isle’ through their debut single, I AM, blending haunting vocals and powerful grooves.
This is my third time writing about Creatives in Schools for Coromind. I have a personal connection to the mahi, but I’m also a fierce advocate for the arts. I believe the arts are a core necessity for people of all backgrounds, for enjoyment, entertainment and wellbeing. Which is why I stand in solidarity with arts advocates who are pushing for the reinstatement of the programme, after the Government announced in June 2024 it will cease funding.
How Experience Shapes Your Thoughts and Beliefs
What would you say if I told you that there is a record of everything you have ever done, said, seen, heard, felt, tasted, smelt, even thought? Well, there is. It is called your subconscious mind. It takes in and records everything.
Last December, Luke Steele invited me to play the drums with him and his father, Rick Steele, at a pre-Christmas gig. Despite my initial concerns about not having at least one rehearsal, Luke assured me we’d be fine.
This year, En Pointe Dance Studio says goodbye to three of its stars – Courtney, Charli and Indaria. They’ve spent years growing, dancing and making lifelong memories here, but now it’s time for them to move on to new adventures. From tough rehearsals to amazing performances, these dancers have left their mark. And while they’re stepping off our stage, their stories are far from over.
