Stuff

JASON brought greetings from the legendary Writers Block writers group in Wellington, established by Hone Kouka in 1999.

The March Creative Clinics were judged a success – participants gained a lot from all three workshops provided, whether it was the one-on-one with Albert Belz, the workshop with James Wilson and some tame actors, or writing-for-newbies by DAVID.

A gentle reminder was given regarding the Producers Workshop in early April.

UPDATE: The workshop was fully booked and is half-way through as this is being typed.

Coming Up

Banana Boat is working to mount a Jukebox 2010 Season in late July with help from Creative New Zealand. Watch your email Inboxes.

Anyone who takes their writing seriously are urged to attend the Wellington Matariki Hui which will take place sometime in June – details to follow, probably from JENNI.

Banana Boat is taking its Creative Clinics to Manukau on 1-2 July 2010. Watch your email Inboxes.
