New Zealand month continues as we tackle our first Māori text with Witi Ihimaera's 1987 novel and Niki Caro's 2002 film adaptation.The book is short but beautiful, particularly the unusual "framing" device from a whale's perspective that provides an underlying religious element.The film plays more like a standard coming-of-age tale made for a broad (read: white) audience. It's still good, but the intention is surprisingly different considering the many 1-to-1 adaptation choices that were made.References:> Ed. Gonzalez.

Acclaimed New Zealand writer Witi Ihimaera launched his memoir Native Son at Going West in 2019. He gave a powerful and emotional reading from the book, with sonic accompaniment by the multi-instrumentalist Kingsley Spargo. At Going West, we were extremely honoured to host the launch, for what was the second installment of Ihimaera's planned three-part memoir. To mark the occasion, he read an evocative passage drawing on ancient Māori legend and wrestling with the trauma of his teen years. Musical polymath Kingsley Spargo provided a rich, multi-layered soundscape to accompany the reading, with diverse techniques on both taonga puoro and orchestral instruments, mixed with innovative use of digital processing. The session was introduced by Harriet Allan from Penguin Random House. Witi Ihimaera is of Te Whānau a Kai, Te Aitanga a Māhaki, Rongowhakaata, Tūhoe, Te Whānau ā Apanui and Ngāti Porou descent. He was the first Māori to publish a novel, Tangi, in 1973. He has subsequently gone on to become one of New Zealand's leading writers. He is passionate about writing Māori stories and creating opportunities for them to be shown not only in print but also in theatre and on film. The first installment of his memoir, Māori Boy, won the 2016 Ockham Award for the best non-fiction work. His play, All Our Sons, won six Wellington theatre awards. He is currently writing the third volume of his memoir.

A who's who of New Zealand opera and the arts has written to the government asking for an independent review of the sector. In May, Witi Ihimaera, Murray Shaw and Rachael Walkinton resigned from the board of NZ Opera citing concern over the artistic direction the company. They described as a "lack of thought and responsibility toward those who love opera". Earlier this month the three ex-board members, along with a host of others, wrote to the Arts, Culture and Heritage Minister Carmel Sepuloni asking for her help. Ihimaera says a review needs to go wider than just the New Zealand Opera company. He says this could mean the end of the New Zealand Opera company as we know it. An NZ Opera spokesperson says their company has been in touch with the Minister regarding the letter but did not confirm if it would support a review of the sector as a whole.

The three board members who resigned from NZ Opera last week have pushed back at suggestions their decision was linked to a planned show based on the antics of a group of unruly tourists. Last week RNZ revealed Witi Ihimaera, Murray Shaw and Rachael Walkinton had stepped down, citing concerns over the company's artistic direction. The timing coincided with the announcement of a new production based on an English family who attracted negative publicity when they toured New Zealand in 2019. But Witi Ihimaera told reporter Emma Hatton the new show was not the reason the three resigned.

There's drama at the Opera.New Zealand Opera board directors Witi Ihimaera, Murray Shaw and Rachael Walkinton have quit.The resignations come after the organisation announced its newest production would be based on the so-called unruly tourists who garnered fame here in 2019.Renowned New Zealand tenor, Simon O'Neill, told Heather Du Plessis-Allan the current direction the Opera's taking is the reason for their departure.He says there are many things about the artistic direction people are unhappy about. LISTEN ABOVE

In a drama fit for the stage itself - a third of the board of New Zealand Opera has resigned. The mass walkout is in apparent protest at the artistic direction of the company. A letter from the Board chair on Tuesday confirmed directors Murray Shaw, Rachael Walkinton and Witi Ihimaera are stepping down. The news comes almost two weeks after the Opera announced its newest production would be based on the saga of the so-called unruly tourists - a story which gripped the media in the summer of 2019. Emma Hatton reports.

31 October 2020 | WORD Christchurch Spring Festival Join one of Aotearoa’s master storytellers, Witi Ihimaera, for a very special evening of myths and music. His new book, Navigating the Stars, is a spellbinding and provocative retelling of traditional Maori myths for the twenty-first century. From Hawaiki to Aotearoa, the ancient navigators brought their myths, while looking to the stars — bright with gods, ancestors and stories — to guide the way. Telling tales from the book and from his latest memoir Native Son, the sequel to his award-winning Māori Boy, Ihimaera will be accompanied by sound artist and musical polymath Kingsley Spargo. This will be a very special evening indeed.

Beloved author Witi Ihimaera joins Jesse to talk about his new book in which he retells traditional stories for the 21st century. It's called Navigating the Stars: Māori creation myths.

Ines Cavalcanti"Premio Ostana"Scritture in Lingua Madrehttps://www.premioostana.it/Premio OstanaScritture in Lingua Madre / escrituras en lenga maireedizione speciale online venerdì 5 e sabato 6 giugno 2020 Un'occasione di incontro in Rete per le lingue madri del mondo:occitano, basco, maltese, innu, sardo, cimbro, catalano e catalano di Alghero, cheyenne, griko, corso francoprovenzale, amazigh (berbero), ciuvascio, bretone, yoruba, shuar, maori ai tempi della pandemiaIl “Premio Ostana: scritture in lingua madre” è un appuntamento con le lingue madri del mondo che ogni anno riunisce a Ostana, paese occitano di 85 abitanti in Valle Po ai piedi del Monviso, autori di lingua madre da tutto il mondo, per un festival dedicato alla celebrazione della biodiversità linguistica. Nel corso degli anni, Ostana ha ospitato 37 lingue provenienti dai 5 continenti, unite dallo spirito di convivéncia, parola trobadorica che significa “l'arte di vivere insieme in armonia”. Si è consolidata così una rete internazionale di autori, appassionati e sostenitori della diversità linguistica, che fanno del Premio Ostana un appuntamento annuale imperdibile per ragionare e discutere sul presente e il futuro delle lingue minoritarie, nella difesa dei diritti linguistici e del loro valore universale. Data l'impossibilità di realizzare la XII edizione nel modo classico, il Premio Ostana ha chiamato a raccolta i premiati delle scorse edizioni per realizzare due giorni di diretta online sul sito premioostana.it con interviste, conferenze, contributi letterari, musicali, artistici. Il filo conduttore del programma online è quello di sempre: dare voce alle lingue indigene nel mondo. Un omaggio a Luis Sepúlveda con una maratona di lettura incrociata de La Gabbianella e il Gatto nelle lingue madri: sardo, catalano algherese, tabarchino, occitano alpino e francoprovenzale; il poeta statunitense Bob Holman, che porterà una riflessione sulla promozione della diversità linguistica nel mondo con il suo documentario - in prima visione in Italia - Language Matters with Bob Holman. Si parlerà di poesia con Lance David Henson, poeta Cheyenne; Aurélia Lassaque, poetessa occitana; Josephine Bacon, poetessa di lingua innu (Canada) e Antony Heulin, poeta bretone; e, in questi tempi di pandemia, è stato pensato un omaggio a Max Rouquette (1908-2005) - tra i più grandi autori occitani del Novecento – tramite letture in musica a partire dal suo attualissimo romanzo Cèrca de Pendariès, incentrato sulle epidemie di peste che flagellarono la Provenza a metà del Cinquecento. Si rifletterà su lingua, politica e società basca con lo scrittore e poeta Harkaitz Cano e la traduttrice Lurdes Auzmendi; sulla lingua Yorùbá con Kola Tubosun, linguista nigeriano; sul griko, minoranza linguistica storica della Grecìa salentina, e ancora sulla lingua berbera o “tamazight” con un documentario inedito dedicato. Grazie alla collaborazione con il CIRDOC - Institut occitan de cultura e Ràdio Lenga d'Òc interverranno in diretta dalla sede della radio a Montpellier Mathieu Poitavin, Danielle Julien e Roland Pécout per raccontare la loro esperienza a Ostana. E ancora: un inedito racconto di Witi Ihimaera per i bambini italiani in quarantena e il contributo del regista e produttore sardo Tore Cubeddu, che descriverà l'esperienza della televisione sarda EjaTV ai tempi del Covid-19. In allegato la nota stampa completa e alcune immagini di repertorio.Il programma completo è disponibile anche sul sito www.premioostana.itIL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

And can we ever fail better? Featuring Australian feminist writer Clementine Ford, esteemed author Witi Ihimaera, storyteller and corporate warrior Hana O’Regan, everyone’s favourite poet/doctor Glenn Colquhoun, Christchurch mayor Lianne Dalziel, and playwright Victor Rodger.

Acclaimed Maori writer Witi Ihimaera talks to Harriett Gilbert and a group of readers at the Cheltenham Literary Festival about his magical, lore-laden novel, The Whale Rider. It tells the haunting story of a spirited Maori girl, her tribe and their mysteriously intertwined destinies. Kahu, a 12-year-old girl struggles to become the chief of her tribe but her grandfather Koro, whose attention she craves, believes that this is a role reserved for males only. Kahu will not be ignored and in her quest she finds a unique ally: the whale rider himself, from whom she has inherited the ability to communicate with whales. Once this sacred gift is revealed, will Kahu be able to assume her rightful position and lead her tribe to a bold new future? (Image: Witi Ihimaera 2015) (Credit: XAVIER LEOTY/AFP/Getty Images)

Eat the Sun screens on the Documentary Channel on the Summer Solstice, June 21, 8 PM ET/PT. Peter Sorcher, director, spent 11 years in New York City honing his storytelling and branding skills as a commercial and documentary film editor with Red Car.  He has worked on commercials for Nike, Coke, Reebok, IBM, and The North Face, among others as well editing documentary films that have garnered theatrical and televised release. He'll talk about how he met a young former Olympian hopeful, Mason Dwinell, who set out on an incredible cross-country journey to uncover the truth behind the ancient art of Sungazing, where people stare at the sun, the sun's energy literally acting as food for some of the subjects interviewed for this film. For others the sun is a source of spiritual enlightenment.  I wonder what happens when the sun is not visible--storms, inclement weather or in places on the planet where daylight is limited?Our next guests flew in from New Zealand for the American premiere of Kawa, based on Witi Ihimaera's novel Nights in the Gardens of Spain.
