Circa's Programming Process
- Circa Theatre
- Ever wanted to know how Circa chooses the plays it produces? The Circa Council is hard at work on the programme for 2014, so it seemed a good opportunity to explain to drama on the waterfront how the programming process works at Circa. Circa’s programme is the life-blood of our theatre. The Circa Council is responsible for all programming decisions and reads a large number of plays each year in order to settle on a programme which strives to match our vision: “We believe a great theatre experience inspires, entertains, transforms and nourishes the human spirit”. Circa Theatre welcomes approaches from established professional theatre directors. We have developed a two step process: 1. In the first instance, we ask directors to submit a short CV or bio along with the script of the play. We send an acknowledgement that we have received the submission, however it could then be up to six months (depending on when it is submitted) before we respond regarding the way forward while the submission is circulated amongst the Circa Council members. All submissions are read by the Council, from which a shortlist is determined. At that stage the Circa Council will invite shortlisted directors to make a pitch for a season at the theatre. 2. Up to two 'Pitch Presentation Days’ are scheduled each year for Directors to present their pitch to the Circa Council. The programme will then be confirmed based on these pitches. If there are some slots in the programme that are still vacant after the first Pitch Presentation Day, there will be a second Pitch Presentation Day. All directors who work at Circa are required to go through the pitch process. The programme is in development for much of the year - the Council accepts submissions up to the end of June, with the Pitch Days taking place in July and September. The final programme isn't decided until the end of September, and it is kept under wraps while we create the annual brochure that is released each year at the Thorndon Fair. So stay tuned for Sunday, 1 December, to find out what 2014 will have in store for you at Circa Theatre!

Call-out stats - August 2013
- Stokes Valley Volunteer Fire Brigade
- During the month of August, Stokes Valley Volunteer Fire Brigade responded to a total of 13 incidents. We attended six fires, from the very small (a smoking light-fixture) to the extremely large "4th Alarm" factory fire in Petone on the 23rd August. We also attended four medical emergencies during the month and there were three false alarms. Even with another fairly significant (magnitute 6.6) earthquake on 16th August, the Wellington region seemenly dodged another bullet and the brigade had absolutely no earthquake-related incidents to attend to. Let's keep our fingers crossed that that remains the case for many, many years to come! Call-outs for August 2013 Fires 6 Motor Vehicle Crashes 0 Medical 4 Special Services 0 Cover-moves 0 False Alarms 3 TOTAL: 13

Cycling in Tunnels safely

- What do the Kelburn, Northland and Seatoun tunnels have in common? They were all featured in a post I did 4 years ago, called Cycling in Wellington’s Tunnels, They were all built originally for trams, And they’d all benefit from two signs at each of their entrances.

Lots of interest in developing Kilbirnie walkway

- It was heartening to see the number of residents who dropped into Rongotai College on Saturday afternoon to give their views on what could be done with the Kilbirnie drainage land. I was only there from about 1.30pm to 2.30pm, but in the time I was there , I heard so many good ideas expressed. […]

Great time had by all on community bike ride
- Sarah Free
- We were lucky to have a nice day for the Eastern Suburbs Community Bike Ride, and we had a good cross-section of the community there, with some family groups, and a mix of experienced and less experienced cyclists. It wasn’t too challenging getting through Kilbirnie and onto the cycle way at Cobham Drive, mainly because […]
