Bless the Child - Hone & Mīria interview 2018 New Zealand Festival
Glimpse behind the scenes of new New Zealand work by acclaimed Tawata Productions, Bless the Child, in this interview with writer Hone Kouka and director Mīria George.
A child has died and Shardae, mother of the child, is held guilty until proven otherwise.
A power-hungry lawyer, Khan Te Ahi Richards, is reluctantly dragged into the case to defend the mother as the whānau close ranks. And rumbling from beneath is Rūaumoko, god of earthquakes and unborn children. Now the mother, the lawyer and the wayward ones are all in search of an answer – who took the life of baby Ara?
Challenging and thought-provoking, Bless the Child is a story of life and death, good versus evil. In an unflinching look at our society through a Māori lens, it uncovers the truth of our shared humanity – to protect the child.
Co-produced by the New Zealand Festival, Auckland Arts Festival and Tawata Productions

I think it’s important for women to learn krav maga because in the society that we’re in now there are lots of potential for problems and just knowing how to defend yourself, be aware of your surroundings and have that confidence is really empowering.
I know the first time you walk through the door it can be quite intimidating, I was very nervous the first time I came in. But everyone is really welcoming and friendly, the instructors are very professional, they make sure everybody is safe, so you’re not going to get hurt.
But you are able to practice techniques and learn new things in a safe environment.
Tim
I feel like every training session is new and different and I always come away feeling like I’ve learned something new to take away and think about and practice.
It’s also really great to train in an atmosphere where everybody is there to help each other develop.
I would highly recommend it. It’s also significantly boosted my fitness and my self confidence.
Matto
It’s a good energy boost. Obviously you can come home from work, get a bit lethargic, sit in front of the telly, food, biscuits. You know, it’s nice but it’s no good for you.
So you come training, you get a burst, you feel better and you feel like you’re glad I went.
And when you don’t train you feel like you miss it.
Amy
No two classes are ever the same. They are fast paced, they are fun and the skills that you learn really are invaluable for real life situations that you could find yourself in.
The instructors are great too so they’re patient and knowledgeable and I think for me the most important thing is that they are friendly.
And they are passionate about what they are doing too which makes you feel passionate as well.
There are no egos in class either, no matter which one that you go to. Everyone is there to learn. Everyone is there to train, everyone is there to have fun and basically everyone is there to help each other.
Paul
Keeps you active, keeps you fit. Your whole body, from top to toe feels so much better.
You’ve got something to talk about. All the people you meet in here are all like-minded.
As I said, you know, it’s a good, friendly club to be at.
Mary Fedden 瑪麗·費登 (1915-2012) Naive Art Primitivism British
tonykwk39@gmail.com
Mary Fedden, OBE (14 August 1915 – 22 June 2012) was a British artist.
Sometimes mistakenly described as the daughter of Roy Fedden (who was in fact her uncle, as was Romilly Fedden), Mary Fedden was born in Bristol where she attended the city's Badminton School. She studied at the Slade School of Fine Arts, London from 1932 to 1936. She then returned to Bristol where she painted and taught until World War II broke out. After the war was over, Fedden developed her own style of flower paintings and still lifes, reminiscent of artists such as Matisse and Braque.
In 1951, Mary Fedden married the artist Julian Trevelyan. She went on to teach painting at the Royal College of Art from 1956 to 1964, the first woman tutor to teach in the Painting School. Her pupils included David Hockney and Allen Jones. She subsequently taught at the Yehudi Menuhin School in Cobham, Surrey, from 1965 to 1970.
In 1995, she acknowledged in an interview in The Artist magazine:
I really float from influence to influence…. I found the early Ben Nicholsons fascinating as were the paintings of his wife Winifred. I also admire the Scottish artist Anne Redpath and the French painter Henri Hayden.
Fedden’s subjects are often executed in a bold, expressive style with vivid and contrasting colours, although her work of 2005-6 uses a narrower tonal range. Her still lifes are often placed in front of a landscape, as she enjoyed the contrasting of disparate, even quirky elements. When using watercolours she emphasised the rough texture of her favourite Indian papers.
Fedden exhibited in one-person shows throughout the UK every year from 1950 until her death in 2012. These included the Redfern Gallery, London from 1953, the New Grafton Gallery, London from the 1960s, the Hamet Gallery from 1970, the Arnolfini Gallery, Bristol, Bohun Gallery, Henley on Thames from 1984 and at the Beaux Arts Gallery, London in the 1990s. A major exhibition of her work was held at the Royal West of England Academy in 1996.
She also received several commissions for murals, notably the Festival of Britain in 1951, the P&O liner Canberra in 1961, Charing Cross Hospital in 1980 (along with her husband, the artist Julian Trevelyan), Colindale Hospital in 1985, and for schools in Bristol, Hertfordshire and London. Her work can be found in numerous public and private collections such as the Chantrey Bequest for the Tate Gallery, Contemporary Art Society, and the City art galleries of Carlisle, Hull, Bristol, Edinburgh and Sheffield.
In 1995 the writer and critic Mel Gooding wrote a monograph on her work tracing her long career up to her marriage to Julian Trevelyan and their life together on the Thames at Chiswick, London. In 2007, a second book on Fedden written by Christopher Andreae was published, tracing her whole career up to 2006.
From 1984, Fedden held the post of President of the RWA, up until 1988, the same year her husband Julian Trevelyan died. She is an academician of the Royal Academy and has received an honorary doctorate from the University of Bath. She has also received an O.B.E. and an honorary degree from the University of Durham (2009) for her work.
For many years, Fedden was a close friend of the former television presenter, Anna Ford. Fedden remained a prolific and popular painter until her death in 2012. She continued to live and work in the studio she shared with her husband from the 1940s on the River Thames, London, She died, aged 96, in London.
