BEN ELTON announced last year that he would tour New Zealand in 2020 with a brand-new stand-up show, Ben Elton Live. But we all know what happened next.

Ben is now newly confirmed to arrive in New Zealand to quarantine in April, to then hit the stage in May 2021, with fourteen new dates added to his original tour. In addition to his previously announced shows in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch, Ben has added performances in Blenheim, Nelson, Dunedin, Invercargill, Queenstown, Tauranga, Hamilton, Palmerston North, New Plymouth and Napier. Ben last performed in New Zealand in 2006, but returned to stage with a totally sold out 75 date UK tour in 2019, drawing rave reviews.

‘Elton’s timing and phrasing remain impeccable, his structure is masterly’ ★ ★ ★ ★ The Daily Telegraph
'Just give him a stage and a microphone and Ben Elton is the best. No contest' The Sunday Times
'There is nothing, absolutely nothing to beat Ben Elton live! ' Evening Standard

Ben Elton exploded onto the comedy scene more than 30 years ago, hosting Channel 4’s groundbreaking Saturday Live. Since then, Ben has achieved huge success as a stand-up comic, author, playwright, actor and director.

He's written television shows such as The Young Ones, Blackadder 2, Blackadder The Third, Blackadder Goes Forth, The Thin Blue Line, the famous ‘exam’ episode of Mr Bean, the recent UK smash hit Upstart Crow and many more, as well writing and directing two feature films: 2000’s Maybe Baby and 2017’s Australian-made Three Summers. Last year he wrote Kenneth Branagh’s critically acclaimed biopic of William Shakespeare All Is True which starred Judi Dench and Ian McKellen.

A highly respected author, Ben has published 16 best-selling novels, six of which became number one bestsellers. Ben is also widely known for his writing for the stage which includes three smash hit West End plays and the global phenomenon We Will Rock You, based on the music of British rock legends Queen.

A serial award winner, he has won three BAFTAs, two Laurence Olivier Awards, The Royal Television Society Writer’s Award, The Golden Dagger UK Crime Writer of the Year Award, The Critics Circle Award for Best Musical and the Eurovision Golden Rose D’Or Lifetime Achievement Award.

As Ben says: "The last time I toured I was still smarter than my phone. Things have definitely taken a funny turn."

PRODUCTION UNDERWAY FOR NEW KIWI FILM GOING, GOING

WRITTEN AND DIRECTED BY LOREN TAYLOR, GOING, GOING’S STELLAR CAST INCLUDES ELIZABETH HAWTHORNE, VICTORIA HARALABIDOU, LOREN TAYLOR, ROBYN MALCOLM, ROBBIE MAGASIVA, COHEN HOLLOWAY

goingoing.png

Production has commenced in Wellington, New Zealand this week for a new comedy feature film starring a host of well-known actors. From the producers behind The Breaker Upperers, Cousins, and Top of the Lake, Going, Going weaves together the stories of three very different women as they come face to face with their wild, true selves.

Going, Going marks Taylor’s directorial debut on a feature film. Her extensive acting credits include Eagle vs Shark which she co-wrote. She’s recently been on the big screen in Baby Done and This Town.

“I am very privileged to be working with an astonishing bunch of creative and kind people (and animals!) to bring this script to life on the big screen (I love working with animals!),” commented writer-director Loren Taylor.

The film’s cast includes Elizabeth Hawthorne (The Light Between Oceans), Victoria Haralbidou (Brides), Loren Taylor, Robyn Malcolm (Top of the Lake), Robbie Magasiva (Sione’s Wedding) and Cohen Holloway (Hunt for the Wilderpeople).

Going, Going will be produced by Philippa Campbell (Top of the Lake, Rain) and Georgina Conder (Cousins, The Breaker Upperers). The film is made with investment by the New Zealand Film Commission (NZFC), the NZFC’s 125 Fund, a bespoke fund launched in 2018 to celebrate New Zealand’s 125 years of universal suffrage and with the assistance of the New Zealand Government’s Screen Production Recovery Fund. Going, Going is supported by additional investment from industry partners Department of Post and Imagezone and made with the generous support of Weta Digital. The film will be distributed in New Zealand and Australia by Vendetta Films.

NEW ZEALANDERS CHALLENGED TO TAKE PART IN ‘TAKE A BREATH WEEK’

New Zealand’s inaugural Take a Breath Week aims to educate Kiwis to end anxiety one breath at a time

274c6c40-e7c1-49e2-a46f-5ebccab976fc.jpg

In a world-first, a seven day Take a Breath challenge has been issued for Kiwis to take part in, to experience the compelling results of effective breathing using practical tools. Launching on Sunday 21st February, Take a Breath Week aims to educate New Zealanders that the common denominator between all people experiencing stress and anxiety.

Highly regarded lifestyle expert Sarah Laurie founded Take a Breath in 2019 after pressing pause on her 15-year career in the wellness space. Laurie began a mission to better understand anxiety - the world’s fastest growing mental health issue.

After four years spent working with scientists, cell biologists, breathing physicians and industry experts from around the world, a single proposition emerged - the 21st century pace and pressure has shifted our breathing from our tummy to our chest, and this has systematically changed our state making us take too many breaths.

Laurie commented: “I firmly believe that every New Zealander needs to learn the way we breath, while we go about our days, directly impacts the level of stress and anxiety we experience. It may seem too simple, yet the breath response is an intricate and complex mechanism that directly impacts human health.”

Laurie’s connection to the project came about from the work she was doing in the wellness space, working with thousands of people who suffer from anxiety. It was this that sparked her dedication to travel the world and find the solution.

Compelling beta-testing with staff at The Warehouse Group and Chorus workplaces demonstrated that the way we breathe directly improves sleep, anxiety, increases calm and heightens energy, with 76% of participants seeing an improvement in sleep, 96% experiencing increased calm, and 86% noting an increase in their energy levels.

Together with her NZ community partners - Kiwibank, Spark and The Warehouse Group, Laurie is dedicated to educating Kiwis, and ending anxiety one breath at a time, which will hopefully not be limited to the week but for everyone’s lifetime.

Free nationwide seminars will be held throughout February and March, from Whangarei to Invercargill, for Kiwis to learn the science behind stress, anxiety and breathing. Locations, dates and times follow:

Whangarei - Tuesday February 23 Forum North 6pm - 7.30
Auckland - Wednesday February 24 Ellerslie Event Centre 6pm
Hamilton – Thursday February 25 Sky City 6pm
Tauranga – Tuesday March 2 Trustpower Baypark 6pm

TRAILER UNVEILED FOR NEW HEARTFELT DRAMA COUSINS STARRING ANA SCOTNEY, RACHEL HOUSE, TANEA HEKE AND MORE

PATRICIA GRACE’S CLASSIC KIWI NOVEL COMES TO LIFE ON THE BIG SCREEN

COUSINS poster.jpg

The trailer for local drama Cousins has been released today ahead of the film’s nationwide general release on March 4th. Cousins is a dramatic and powerful story of three cousins who spend a lifetime in search of each other, separated by circumstances yet connected by blood.

Based on Patricia Grace’s classic New Zealand novel, Cousins’ screenplay was adapted by Briar Grace-Smith (Waru, The Strength of Water). The film is co-directed by Grace-Smith and Ainsley Gardiner (The Breaker Upperers, Boy).

Set over six decades, the film’s stellar core cast includes Tanea Heke (Waru), Ana Scotney (The Breaker Upperers), Tioreore Ngatai-Melbourne (Hunt for the Wilderpeple) and Rachel House (JOJO RABBIT). Support cast includes Miriama Smith (Filthy Rich), Cohen Holloway (Reunion) and Chelsie Preston Crayford (Savage).

In development for 16 years, Cousins was originally the vision of filmmaker Merata Mita (Mauri), the first Māori woman to write and direct a feature film. Shortly before Cousins went into production in 2019, co-directors Gardiner and Grace-Smith were joint recipients of the Sundance Institute Merata Mita Fellowship.

Writer and co-director Briar Grace-Smith hopes that people come away from watching Cousins with a greater understanding of Aotearoa’s history: “Cousins is a story about strength and resilience, touching on epic events in the history of Aotearoa such as the deployment of the 28th Maori Battalion to Europe, the 1975 Land March to Parliament and the Foreshore and Seabed Hikoi of 2004. However, at its heart it is an intimate story, about the theft of a child and her family's lifelong quest to bring her back home to her people.”

Director Ainsley Gardiner continued: “It has been a privilege to be part of a film that has such a significant whakapapa. From our real stories and experiences, to Patricia's book, to the attempts by our mentors to get it made, Cousins has been a long time in the making. To be able to make it with whānau, hapu and iwi alongside our fantastic crew made it all the more special.”

Author of the novel Cousins, Patricia Grace thoroughly enjoyed being a part of the production process: “​What I enjoyed most of all was having the opportunity to be on-set during production where there was a joyful whānau atmosphere, and where the only raised voice was when it was time to: “CUT”.”

Cousins is produced by Georgina Conder (She Shears, The Breaker Upperers), Libby Hakaraia (The Gravedigger of Kapu) and Ainsley Gardiner under Miss Conception Films and Whenua Films. With investment from The New Zealand Film Commission, Cousins is distributed in New Zealand by Vendetta Films. Penguin Random House are set to re-release Patricia Grace’s Cousins novel in March, to time with the film’s release in nationwide cinemas.

it’s thrilling to see Howard with fire in his belly” ★★★★★ Metro

SOL3 MIO TO HIT THE ROAD TO ROUND OUT THE KIWI SUMMER

sol3mio.png

SOL3 MIO have announced today a nationwide tour to round out the Kiwi summer performing in some of the country's most loved regional venues with a repertoire of classics as well as debut some of their own new material.

The trio will take to the stage in Havelock North, Invercargill, Oamaru, Dunedin, Christchurch, New Plymouth, Whanganui, Wellington, Palmerston North and Hamilton across February and March 2021 with tickets on sale at midday this Friday 18th December from www.endeavour.live/sol3mio.

Having rescheduled their Spark Sessions Auckland show to March 11th, the trio are excited about adding new tour dates and hitting the road!

"It’s been a tough year for everyone and it's time to get together and sing!,” says Moses Mackay. "We love touring here in Aotearoa and especially to perform in some of these stunning venues. We can't wait to share these new songs with you.”

Sol3 Mio are an operatic pop vocal trio hailing from Auckland. Comprised of Samoan-descended brother's Pene and Amitai Pati - both tenors - and their baritone cousin Moses Mackay, the group fuses classical, opera, and pop music with a playful wit and frequent nods to their Samoan heritage. All three are classically trained and had been pursuing their own careers when, in 2008, Pene and Moses found themselves in the backing choir for famed Italian star Andrea Bocelli.

The inspiration they felt from that concert stayed with them, and in 2011 they united with Amitai for a series of fundraising concerts that would launch their career as Sol3 Mio. By 2013 they had signed with and recorded their self-titled debut, a collection of traditional and popular songs that immediately topped the New Zealand Albums Chart and became the biggest-selling album in the country that year. Sol3 Mio's success continued in 2014 with the release of a four-song EP, a holiday single, and appearances around the world. Their 2015 follow-up album, On Another Note, also reached number one in New Zealand led by the single "I See Fire," a cover of Ed Sheeran's song from The Hobbit soundtrack.

20-YEAR-OLD GRACE STRATTON WINS THE ATTITUDE ACC SUPREME AWARD AT THE 2020 ATTITUDE AWARDS

grace.jpg

Grace Stratton, co-founder of All is for All, has been announced winner of the prestigious Attitude ACC Supreme Award at the Attitude Awards in Auckland. Now in their 13th year, the black-tie gala event celebrates the achievements and successes of New Zealanders in the disability sector.

Auckland-raised Grace (20) co-launched All is for All, an accessible communications, media and talent agency, with her friend Angela Bevan in 2019. Grace, who uses a wheelchair, understands the challenges of purchasing garments online only to discover they aren’t purpose-built for disability. All is for All seeks to solve this simple problem for millions of people around the world, by designing an accessible e-commerce space that reframes how designer garments are spoken about.

Bringing accessibility into focus, without compromising aesthetics and innovation, All is for All ensures people with disabilities can have both an experience of designer garments and a wardrobe that is accessible to them. The company now works with a variety of local designers including Twenty-Seven Names, Stolen Girlfriends Club and Kate Sylvester, on inclusion and access within business, and customer experience through a disability rights lens.

Grace’s achievements since launching All is for All are extensive, but include contracting more than ten models with disabilities, working with over 20 designers, showcasing at New Zealand Fashion Week 2019 and providing consultation work for 18 people with disabilities in advisory roles for The Warehouse Group, Bumble, Estee Lauder and more.

Grace was a Young New Zealander of the Year finalist in 2018, was named InStyle’s ’50 Badass Women for 2019’ and is a full-time student at AUT, studying a double degree in law and communications.

Attitude Trust chairperson Dan Buckingham commented on Grace’s win: “In lots of ways, it seems like Grace is only at the beginning of her journey. With so much more to offer, I’m certain she will wave the flag for disability high and proud for years to come. Grace stood out as the overall winner for a multitude of reasons, not least of all due to being able to cut through and make a difference in a field rarely reserved for people who live with disability.”

On accepting her award, Grace said: "What we do at All for is All is about creating space. It's not about me, or any one person, but the work we can achieve together. I think it's really important that we create bridges and understanding. We don't want people to be so afraid of saying the wrong thing, that they say nothing at all."

Principal sponsor ACC’s Chief Executive Scott Pickering said this year’s finalists’ achievements are impressive: “Congratulations to Grace on her well-deserved win of both the Attitude Employee and Entrepreneur Award and the Attitude ACC Supreme Award for her work in encouraging and driving a more accessible and inclusive New Zealand. This year’s finalists have all made outstanding contributions to their communities, the disability community and New Zealand as a whole, and we are proud to celebrate their success with them.”

Grace’s award closed an outstanding evening where 25 individuals and organisations were recognised. The black-tie gala was hosted by TV news reporter Simon Dallow and saw performances from his daughter Paris, and singer-songwriter Benny Tipene. Additionally, Delta Goodrem shared a special video performance of her hit song ‘Solid Gold’ ahead of her 2021 New Zealand tour. Highlights from the 2020 Attitude Awards will be screened at 4pm on TVNZ1 on Sunday, 13th December, with thanks to NZ on Air.
