Kawai Purapura Retreat Centre

Hi Lovers of Singing. I’m excited to

present SummerSing which offers you a

weekend of community, rich with singing,

rhythmic movement, percussion and more...

We have an outstanding leadership team who

will draw from traditions as wide and varied

as Gypsy/Romany, Haitian, African, Pacific

and South American with a strong rhythmic

theme (voice, body and percussion) running

through the weekend

It will be held at the lovely Kawai Purapura

Retreat Centre in

Albany, with both

residential and non-

residential options.

There will be time

to enjoy the

grounds or have a swim in the pool.

Not the least of the weekend’s delights will

be delicious vegetarian food prepared for us

by Audrey and Daniel of InterspaceArtFood

(www.interspaceartfood.com/food.html)

I look forward to

welcoming you to a

wonderful and

enriching weekend of

community music.

Tania Bosak is a percussionist, vocalist, actor

and certified Advanced TA KE TI

NA Rhythm Teacher. She has

studied African dance, Indian

Classical Dance and various drum-

ming styles in Senegal, the USA

and Australia, including Haitian,

Brazilian and Cuban percussion.

As a polyrhythm specialist,

Tania’s workshops invite partici-

pants into the world of simulta-

neous perception. Entering into voice and rhythm from a

deeply relaxed place becomes the foundation for feeling

and performing music from a centred and profound sense

of self. The rhythmic body and voice are key in unlocking

the creative improviser in us all!

Julian Raphael is a musician and music educator

who works alongside children and

grown-ups with a philosophy and

teaching style that is greatly in-

fluenced and informed by the

music of the world's cultures. He

works in Wellington and around

the country running workshops

for schools, teachers and commu-

nities and he facilitates the En-

sembles in Schools programme for

Chamber Music NZ. Julian is the musical director of the

200 strong Wellington Community Choir; now in its 6th

year. Earlier in 2011 Julian took part in a three-week

study and concert tour of South Africa where he learnt

a wide range of well-known contemporary church and

community songs.

...and Max loves nothing more than to indulge his passion for bring-

ing people together to create joy and community through

singing. After a 7 year stint as director of Heaven Bent

Gospel Choir, he founded the now 3 year old open to all

SingForJoy Choir and this year has extended the joy

into strumming - running ukulele groups and offering

workshops throughout New Zealand.
