Open Hui Invitation
Lake House and Takapuna North Community Trust warmly invite you to partake in our Open Hui and to contribute your ideas towards our This Is Us Community Day 2020. Our Open Hui will be held at the Lake House on Saturday the 23rd of November 2019 at 10:30am. As part of Lake House’s 2020 Vision Programme, this festival will promote inclusiveness and support community diversity through a celebration of culture. It is the hope of Lake House Arts that This Is Us becomes a recurring Event and Exhibition Season at Lake House Arts.
Lake House and Takapuna North Community Trust would like your input, so that as a community, we can enable a safe, accessible and free North Shore Community exhibition and event programme where our people can present their cultural heritage and artistic voice.
This Is Us includes a Community Exhibition for children, inside Lake House main building from March 15th to the 27th. Lake House invite children from all local community and cultural groups and schools on the North Shore. Our theme for this year’s exhibition will be “Our Diverse Community”. This will be installed and available to the public on the 15th of March, the first anniversary of the Christchurch Tragedy. This opening will not be an event, rather an opportunity to view the exhibition in quiet reflection and to write messages of support and hope for the families involved in the Christchurch Tragedy.
A This is Us Community Day will be held in collaboration with Takapuna North Community Trust on Saturday the 21st of March. On this day, cultural food and craft stalls will offer opportunities for multi-cultural dialogue and exchange. Other scheduled activities and workshops will incorporate art, craft, dance and culture to the same effect.
During the exhibition period, a series of events and activities will be scheduled for children and families to participate in. These events will seek to encourage active learning and dialogue about inclusiveness while celebrating our community diversity.
We would invite your input as to what the content of these activities might be. We hope that on the completion of the Festival, our community has strengthened, with more acceptance, resilience, learning, and wisdom gained through participation and public interaction. It is hoped that This Is Us, serves to honour the memories of the victims and families from the Christchurch Tragedy by helping our community give nothing to racism, celebrate wisdom through inclusion and build community bonds that continue to grow beyond the event itself.
Your input from the Hui will aid us to build a Festival Programme which best honours and respects our community’s cultures, and most effectively generates awareness and an intolerance for any form of racism or discrimination.
At the Hui, we invite you to speak as to content and how you and your group might participate, and to register to be a part of our Community Day and season of activities.

• 10:30am Saturday 23rd November 2019 •

Poupou (architecture)
A poupou is a wall panel located underneath the veranda of a Māori wharenui (meeting house). It is generally built to represent the spiritual connection between the tribe and their ancestors and thus each poupou is carved with emblems of the tohunga whakairo’s (carver's) particular lineage. The poupou may also be decorated with representations of the tribe's ancestral history, legends and migration stories to New Zealand.
As such each wharenui, and by extension the poupou, are thus treated with the utmost respect, as if it were an ancestor.
Pou Toko Manawa – Heart of the House

Ahead of Men’s Health Month, Lake House Arts, in collaboration with event producer Matthew Goldsworthy and the New Zealand Prostate Cancer Foundation, will present an arts showcase to encourage the #MenStartTalking movement. We are throwing MAN ART on the BBQ, cooking up a storm and serving up a fundraiser and platform for men’s health and the Prostate Cancer Foundation of New Zealand.
Since the dawn of the 'Kiwi Man', the BBQ has been synonymous with community fundraising. Instead of slapping a sizzled sausage on some bread with optional onions and tasty tomato sauce, Lake House Arts will slap up some SIZZLING ART - about men, for everyone. With live music throughout the afternoon from incredible local artists, tasty food and drinks, father-and-son photography sessions and other family activities, this event is one not to be missed!
Supporting the Prostate Cancer Foundation of New Zealand, Sausage Sizzle is a light-hearted and ironic title that throws into contrast the reality of men’s health issues and concerns.
Live performers to be announced!

It’s been 401 years after William Shakespeare death- a genius, celebrated and still inspirational today. In the 1990’s Wellington artist Raymond Boyce designed four embroidered wall hangings for Shakespeare’s Globe in London’s Bankside. It was made by more than 500 skilled woman embroiders across New Zealand, - some even from the North Shore. This contribution, donating a set of embroidered hangings, made from New Zealand’s world famous wool, to adorn the frons scenae of the Globe Theatre stage, is a testament to the love for, and power of art to bring people together.
We are inviting young artists (ages 15-25) –to create “hangings” with an attitude. They will have the opportunity to see rehearsals from the show and meet with the North Shore Summer Shakespeare Directors and are set the challenge to respond to the production as well as the space, and engage with various influences of art and culture. We are inviting artists and students particularly interested in illustrative art, street art and theatre design to partake in this exciting project. For the chance to participate and have exclusive tutoring from a Street and Mural Art Mentor and Shakespeare Specialist.

REMEDIAL MASSAGE (HEAD, NECK and JAW)
The Temporomandibular joint is an important prehensile joint in our bodies. It’s our jawbone, and the socket in which it sits. The TMJ allows us to move our jaw and to eat, and we use it when we’re speaking and along with all the movements of our face. It relates to the face, the cervical vertebrae of the neck, the spine, the brain stem, the occipital and tri-geminal nervous systems, and it taps into an array of muscular systems including those close by, like the big masseter muscles (chewing muscles). But also it can refer to the muscularity and nervous systems in our faces, head neck arms, backs and legs.
For several years I have developed a further knowledge of how the jaw and neck area carry tension, and create referred tension because of the processes I have gone through of learning about my own face and jaw area. Massage and understanding how to continue self-care of the jaw and the area around the tmj is great for anyone. However, it may be especially useful for those who are experiencing fatigue in the jaw as a result of using their voice or from eating, headaches relating to tension in these areas, or those who have tension resulting from dental or orthodontic treatment.
If you would like to book a time contact Genevieve - 0273316120 or turn up on the night to secure a time.

A Poem – created at the Spring Poets evening…
Listening to Vivaldi
I vow I will not be politic
I will be Spring
Or at least highly Sprung
And not undone by
The comments one should
Never read and the
Book that one should
Never face and the
Place that I will always go,
No place for Winter wind
To blow.
No place but Spring.
