4. Intensive Series Of Workshops

Workshops to develop your career in your creative field - free to PACE clients New Space Programme Do you work in the Creative Industries? Are you where you want to be? A definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over - expecting a different result! How much are we prepared to change to achieve what we want?

The New Space Programme develops creative businesses and careers. Making your creative dream real. By-passing the day job.

It is an intensive series of workshops that connects you to other creative practitioners and explores a creative approach to developing the skills and approach that will provide a foundation for your creative and professional future.

It is an inspirational programme designed by Lorraine Blackley of Creative Adventures Ltd, in association with the Big Idea Charitable Trust, for people who want to take command of their dreams and create financial viability doing what they love.

The programme suits people from all creative disciplines, visual arts, music, performance, film and television, arts administration, teaching, etc. and is designed to get behind and support where you want to go with your professional life.

New Space assists you if you are already successful and if you are just starting out, to develop professionally, connect with other creative practitioners, develop or market a new or existing creative idea or business and create the professional future you want.

The more successful you are already the more you will get from the New Space approach and so far people have been achieving some remarkable results. A high percentage have found ways to achieve financial sustainability solely through their creative work, some have established unique businesses, some have gained career positions they had only dreamed of, some have established a truly unique market position, some have become famous, others have attained the lifestyle they were after. Those who wanted to, have increased their wealth, others have changed their view from burden and grind to fun and profit, from obstacle and restriction to opportunity and plenty. What can be seen in everyone is that they have learnt a skill that they can keep applying to any area of their lives, to bring their creative dreams to life.

Work and Income also funds a "New Space" Programme for their PACE registered clients and the next one will be starting on the 6th of October 2004. Information sessions will be held throughout September, contact Lorraine Blackley details below to find out about the times and dates for these.

13. Doug Harrington Vocal Coach

City of Sails Chorus is bringing a world class vocal singing coach, Doug Harrington, to Auckland in September this year as part of their preparations for the Pan Pacific Barbershop Convention in Christchurch in October.

- Doug Harrington was the Baritone in 2nd Edition - the American
quartet that made barbershop converts of hundreds on men during the 80's and early 90's. If you've heard their recordings you'll be aware that they still compare with the very best available today. Doug coaches his wife's Sweet Adelines quartet, Swinglish Mix, which I saw win Gold in front of 10,000 singers at the Sweet Adelines International Convention in Nashville in 2002.

18. Music wanted for new 100% kiwi radio show

My name is Mat Rankin and I am a musician, based in Auckland, who is starting a new show on 104.6 Planet FM. I am seeking original New Zealand music, on tape or CD (preferably CD) with a blurb about the artist and/or song, to air on radio. The only catch is it needs to be unsigned and/or never before broadcasted.

Basically, I figured that there are limited avenues to get the amazing variety, quality and quantity of this level of NZ music out to the masses and so have taken it upon myself to organise and host a radio show from 8am - 9am Thursdays on 104.6 Planet FM. I also plan to do live-to-airs in the near future so welcome expressions of interest. This show is actually a pre-cursor to a radio station I am currently in the process of starting which will strictly follow this music format as well as deliver information pertaining to anything "Kiwi".

Please send to...
