Late 1988 she returned to Dunedin to run the Dunedin School of Ballet & Dance & has since trained many young dancers who have gone on to make dance their career.

Choreography has always been an integral part of her work as a dance teacher & Robyn has worked with most theatrical groups in Dunedin & also for Sky City Theatre in Auckland. Favourite productions include Grease for TMS, Hairspray, Music of the Knight & The Phantom of the Opera for MTD.

Upon returning to New Zealand Ange took on roles in Musical Theatre shows such as Anything Goes, Razzle Dazzle, Jesus Christ Superstar, Ovation, Another Right Royal Gala and in 2004 played the role of Jan in Grease, which was a definite highlight.

NATIONAL YOUNG PERFORMER AWARDS 2019 CRITERIA FORTROUPES/GROUPS

A. Competitors shall be under 25 years as at 1st October 2019. Competitors may only compete in ONE nominated Troupe/Group per Studio or Educational Institution.

B. Each Troupe/Group shall be nominated at a Member Society Competition by performing

in any dance genre pertinent to the Competition they enter. This competition is for amateur troupes/groups only and is not open to professionals. (A Professional is someone whose primary employment is being paid to perform or work in the performing arts. For the present purposes, being a student constitutes “primary employment” and therefore is not seen as a Professional. For the Student who receives payment for participation, either teaching or performing, this should not impose professional status on a person if it is by way only of an occasional bonus or benefit rather than their principal means of earning a livelihood. The exception to this is a participating teacher who may perform.)

C. There shall be a maximum time limit of five minutes, taken from the beginning to the conclusion of the music. A penalty of 5 marks will be imposed if the time limit is exceeded

D. Troupes/Groups who gain nomination must be able to attend the National Young Performer Competition which will be held in Palmerston North. Compulsory Registration/Orientation will be on the evening of Thursday 17th and the Competition will be on Friday 18th October 2019. E. A Final will be held on the afternoon of Friday 18th October, with 12 Troupe/Groups recalled to perform. The number of Troupe/Groups in the Final may change, at the discretion of the Adjudicator(s). F. The winning Troupe/Group will be announced at the completion of Competition on the Friday and it would be appreciated if the group were available to perform at the Final Award Concert on Sunday night 20th October 2019.

The FINAL DATE for submitting music is 6th September 2019.

28

SOCIETY NOMINATION Each Society, which is a financial member of PACANZ, may nominate ONE Troupe/Group,** who shall be selected by the adjudicator, based on a performance at the Member Society Competition. **(As some Societies split their dance genres and run large competitions with different Judges and/or at different times of the year, they will be able to nominate more than one group to represent their Society. If a Society has 25 or more Troupe/Groups that enter and perform in the Troupe/Group Nomination section, then they are entitled to offer an additional Nomination. This applies to every multiple of 25 Troupes/Groups that enter and perform in the Troupe/Group Nomination section. Therefore – 25 Troupes/Groups = 1 additional Nomination 50 Troupes/Groups = 2 additional Nominations 75 Troupes/Groups = 3 additional Nominations The adjudicator will determine that the Troupe/Group has displayed a sufficient standard of performance to competently represent that society at the National Troupe/Group Finals.

The standard required will be at the absolute discretion of the adjudicator but will include:

a. A demonstration of adequate preparation

b. An authority of performance

c. A performance with a level of expertise commensurate with a national final competition.

If the adjudicator considers that sufficient standard has NOT been reached by any Troupe/Group, then NO nomination will be made.

TEST POEMS

Under 10 years – Class 10B

The Big, Black Whale by James K. Baxter

I wish I were a big, black whale Out in the deep, green sea. He blows like a hose Through the top of his nose As happy as a whale can be. And the sailors look pale When they hear his tail Go smack, smack, smack, On a big wave’s back Out in the deep green sea.

Buttons By Julia Donaldson There are coat buttons, shirt buttons, Cardigan and skirt buttons, Buttons on the mattress of your bed. There are loose buttons, tight buttons, Not-done-up-quite-right buttons, Buttons that are hanging by a thread.

There are minus and plus buttons, Let-me-off-the-bus buttons, Buttons on a fizzy-drinks machine. There are open-the-door buttons, Take-me-up-a-floor buttons, Buttons that turn the red man green. There are round buttons, square buttons, Eyes-on-teddy-bear buttons, Buttons on a gingerbread man’s chest But if you’re a bit like me Then I’m sure you will agree That chocolate buttons are the best.

The Excuse by Gervase Phinn

No homework, Simpkins?

No, sir.

And what, pray, is the excuse this time?

Well, sir....

No, don't tell me, Simpkins, let me guess. The dog ate it?

No sir, we don't have a dog.

Your sister was sick on it?

No, sir, I'm an only child.

You left it on the bus?

No, sir, I come to school on my bike.

Your father made the fire with it?

No, sir, we have gas central heating.

Your granny threw it in the dustbin?

No, sir, my granny's dead, sir.

A monster from outer space took it?

No, sir, there are no such things as aliens.

A ghost spirited it away?

No, sir, I don't believe in the supernatural.

Well, Simpkins, having exhausted all the possible reasons I can think of for you not handing in your

homework, I shall be most interested to know what excuse you have?

Yes, sir.

Well?

You didn't set any homework this week, sir.

Human Family by Maya Angelou

I note the obvious differences in the human family. Some of us are serious, some thrive on comedy. Some declare their lives are lived as true profundity, and others claim they really live the real reality. The variety of our skin tones can confuse, bemuse, delight, brown and pink and beige and purple, tan and blue and white. I've sailed upon the seven seas and stopped in every land, I've seen the wonders of the world not yet one common man. I know ten thousand women called Jane and Mary Jane, but I've not seen any two who really were the same. Mirror twins are different although their features jibe, and lovers think quite different thoughts while lying side by side. We love and lose in China, we weep on England's moors, and laugh and moan in Guinea, and thrive on Spanish shores. We seek success in Finland, are born and die in Maine. In minor ways we differ, in major we're the same. I note the obvious differences between each sort and type, but we are more alike, my friends, than we are unalike. We are more alike, my friends, than we are unalike. We are more alike, my friends, than we are unalike.

Open – Class 18B

Invictus By William Ernest Henley

Out of the night that covers me, Black as the Pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the Horror of the shade, And yet the menace of the years Finds, and shall find, me unafraid. It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll. I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul.
