Aoraki Art Dance Project
Auckland Art Gallery hosted an art/dance workshop in collaboration with
Choreographer, Louise Potiki Bryant, who led intermediate aged students in a
dance session based on her Aoraki (Mt Cook) project.
Students experienced elements of dance making, and worked with ideas relating
to landscape, birds and mountains, and students worked in pairs to choreograph a
short dance sequence.
Students also created a bird to dance with in the gallery’s practical Art
Studio and spent time in the gallery spaces exploring the exhibitions
Earth Matters and
Turuki! Turuki! Paneke!
Paneke!
Auckland Philharmonia
Students from Otahuhu Intermediate and College are creating musical
compositions thanks to a partnership with the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra.
One of the orchestra's Double bassist, Daniel Stabler, has mentored the
students over the past two months to create an original composition in response
to an artwork from the Art gallery's collection.
Students will perform on a wide variety of instruments, including household
implements, in the exhibition Hei Konei Mai on 25 May.
Community Bus
Auckland Art Gallery in partnership with Auckland City Council and Patrons of
the Gallery, Vicki and Scott St John is reaching out to the community with a new
bus campaign.
Fifteen community centres including Onehunga, Glen Innes and Mt Roskill,
along with other organised groups in the central Auckland area, have taken
advantage of a free bus trip to the exhibition
turbulence.
The trip includes a free guided tour, followed by a cup of tea and biscuit.
View the turbulence flyer for more
information.
Unitec Interventions
Dance and drama students performed in the gallery in April 2007 as part of
the annual Unitec Interventions series.
Now in their third year, the interventions offer new ways of seeing the
gallery's collection through performance.
Inspired by art in the gallery, students workshop and perform their ideas
as part of their course curriculum.
