Who has seen the nest of the kuaka?
Ko wai ka kite I te hua o te kuaka?
Who has ever held the egg of the kuaka? Interwoven with her lecture is the tale of Jack, a young man trying to save his dry and dying apple trees. Visited in a dream by his great granny, she tells him to follow his heart, look for the ‘‘boy with wings’’ and Jack will find his treasure. So off he goes on an adventure through oceans and deserts, cities and bridges, prisons and personal realisations. Bridget and Roger Sanders have crafted some gorgeous puppets, sets and songs to bring this tale to life. Using different scales and puppets (table top, shadow and hand) they have created beautiful castelet’s made from moving boxes that unfold and take us to new and beautiful crafted locations.
What’s in a name?
Dear Grandparenting: I find it difficult to stop myself from unloading on my daughter about how she named my grandchildren. There’s a right way and a wrong way. The right way is to pass along family names, a connection with all the generations that went before.
Family names are especially pleasing to grandparents. My older daughter Paris did it right. She gave her boy the first name Edward after my father, and her daughter’s middle name is Margaret, which is my much beloved sister’s name. How hard is that?
My youngest wasn’t paying attention. She forgot about our side of the family when the names were passed out. She had a better idea stupid celebrity names like Madonna and Sly (thanks to Sly Stallone). I’m in a real burn over this. Maybe you can give me a fresh perspective? Bridget Sanders, Columbus, Ohio
