-Loveray-

I'm quite blown away by how lucky my life is, to be able to meet with these inredible humans every Monday night and pick up instruments and just make music together, completely in the momemnt to moment, off the top of our heads, or rather from the magical depth of our opening hearts.

It's a real pleasure to have reached out to the wildernet and attracted Nix on improv vocals, she really really added sass and soul to last nights "rehearsal" improv jam.

Stick it on in the background and let me know your thoughts...

Unfortunately my new mob ph that I throw in the middle of the room to record on now stops itself at 3hours (now I know) so we missed the best part: the crazy vocal beat box jam at the end, created in the 4th hour, but thats just highlighting how its even more magic for those in the room at the time, I guess.

We have quite a few -Loveray- gigs lining up over the next few months leading up to the enevitable summer festivals, where we will continue to just show up and play totally improv live on mainstage!!!

Its crazy cool to be able to achieve this, we are loving it, being on the musical and emotional edge, and we love sharing this gift with you all...

Still auditioning new members to join the -Loveray- collective to sail with us into the unknown, if your curious to join us just reach out and say hi

or txt me on mob 0274640691

My daughter Cameo Hannon Duncan has an exciting part in this CLASSIC play:

Lady Windermere’s Fan, by Oscar Wilde.

Its the Titirangi Steiner School Class 12 drama highlight of years in school and they get to take over the beautiful Lopdel House Theatre in Titirangi for 3 Nights this week to showcase their dedication to this craft. They take great pleasure in offering this opportunity to you, the local community, to come along and be mesmerised by this classic play and support these youngsters as they soar.

Friday has all but sold out but there are plenty of tickets to Wednesday and Thursday.

Just $20 from the school office or via an email to: [email protected]

Date: Wednesday 11th, Thursday 12th & Friday 13th September
Time: 7pm - doors open at 6:30pm with home baked healthy refreshments available.
Place: Lopdell House Theatre, Titirangi

This promises to be a witty, warm and wonderful social comedy
**********************************************************************
More info:
Please join us for an wonderful evening out at the C12 Play "Lady Windermere's Fan" 😊!
The Class 12 play is a significant milestone in the lives of Class 12 students and represents extensive work in drama, movement, speech and design as well as drawing on their developed skills of textual analysis.

Oscar Wilde’s play demands very precise articulation, comic timing and emotional maturity. The characters are strongly imagined and all have inner lives – from the butler to the complex title role of Lady Windermere.

Oscar Wilde was the foremost dramatist of the Victorian age in which the expression of theatricality was a cultural fact. His plays are thoroughly humane, and encourage the actors and audience to widen their understanding of social dynamics and individual strengths and flaws. We are asked to question our snap judgements of individuals and social behaviour and to empathise with the inner pain of characters who survive on the surface but who suffer terribly in their souls.

For Wilde, love is the ultimate redemption and the only absolute value. He rails against hypocrisy, pettiness and rigid values and celebrates the vibrancy of passion but in the end he always comes out on the side of altruistic love. He challenges our thinking about what is the right way to be in the world and the ‘truly’ moral way to behave.

Oscar Wilde’s fascinating and complex play will leave you with questions and answers that require further engagement rather than offering any simple resolutions.
We look forward to welcoming you to be part of the Class 12 Play experience.
