Welcome to interactive presentation, created with Publuu. Enjoy the reading!

The land holds our stories. In conversation with Tessa

Patrick (Kāi Tahu), writers Rauhina Scott-Fyfe (Kāi Tahu,

Kāti Māmoe, Ngāi Pākehā), Tōrea Scott-Fyfe (Kāi Tahu,

Kāti Mamoe, Waitaha), and Iona Winter (Waitaha, Kāi Tahu)

explore the vast and intergenerational perspectives of

this land, its history, and its future, and how writers —

regardless of their whakapapa — can delve deeper into

this whenua within their work. This kōrero is for anyone

seeking to understand a unique way of telling stories with

curiosity and fervent intent.

Join 2024 Young Writer in Residence Sherry Zhang (Chinese),

playwright/spoken-word poet Nathan Joe (Chinese), and

journalist/playwright Sam Brooks for a workshop on how

to write compelling, zingy, and revealing dialogue. By taking

a cross-disciplinary approach, this workshop is useful for

any writer looking to understand how to make spells and

dialogue come alive.

Maximum 16 participants, registrations essential
