He Ara Tae is based around 10 of the musings and music of  'Word Jazz' master Ken Nordine’s ‘Colors’ and was staged as a journey around the ground floor of Te Manawa Museum on  26th, 27th and 28th February 2015

The show encompassed the talents of mixed ability and multi generational cast and crew and had been developed around the Manawatu within the last few months, with Choreographer Renee Ball working alongside members of Creative Journeys, Feildings' 128 Sth St daybase, St James' primary school, Jorgaz Dance Groups, Spring Chickens, and many people from the wider community.            All made possible by those who Think Differently :)

Planting time! and Harvest time!
Thanks to funding from Horizons Regional Council for fencing and a plant grant, 
the Taniwha will be rising from the ground. 
With a view to bank stabilisation, erosion control, regenation and green corridor link up between local reserve, we decided to get a bit creative with it. From a Brids eye view, we are planting to acheive a Taniwha curling around the stream bed. 
Thanks to Te Manawa Museum for helpers to plant July 25th.
Many more plants to get in the ground - if you want to come planting.....
And Harvest time for the willow. All and any hands welcome anytime its not raining
We welcome the Bhutenese community up in a couple of weeks time, to help harvest and for us to start the basket making skill sharing we have just trained for. Exciting!

WORKDAY AT REACT 
Come and join us on May 3rd 2014 for a work day!
Starting from 9.30 all and any are welcome to come and roll their sleeves up. 
Soup and bread lunch provided for workers.
Aim is to clear old wood/weeds for future 'Taniwha' planting along stream bed. 
With wood cleared and weather permitting, we'll make a bonfire for 
a slightly late Beltane celebration on Sat night. 
Planting possible with help form Horizons and will take place in June.
