Send In The Clowns
BODY:
Spectrum heads to hospital to see the country's clown doctors at work, ahead of a planned expansion. They've been using laughter to engage with older patients and now they're keen to spread the word. From March, the Clown Doctors New Zealand Charitable Trust will be operating in 11 retirement villages across the North Island, with the aim of improving older patients' quality of life and self-image.
EXTENDED BODY:
By Katy Gosset
It’s been seven years since clown doctors arrived in Christchurch hospitals, bringing their brand of health-giving humour to patients young and old.
Now, they’re spreading the message. The Clown Doctors New Zealand Charitable Trust will launch into 11 rest homes across the North Island from March 2016.
It's the hat that does it - they say.
"Doctor Betty" (Louise Kerr) doesn't feel completely in character until certain key accessories are in place.
"Not 'til I've got a hat on I think... must be an anchor."
And "Doctor Poppy" (Lisa Wingfield) agrees.
"It touches your head and it's a real tooonnk."
And the red nose helps too...
But it's also a mental shift.
Doctor Poppy said, once she arrived for a clown doctor stint, she was aware of a change in consciousness and in the way she held herself.
"It's the way I'm going to walk when I step out the door. It's just this little sort of bubbling - kind of like 'OK, here we go...'"
She also starts looking at everyday objects in a new way, including parts of her or her partner's costume. A cardie might become a puppet, a wall or a superhero's cape.
"Just animating and endowing things in your environment with a different perspective."
The serious business of clowning
The pair work for the Clown Doctors New Zealand Charitable Trust - an organisation that aims to bring humour, and with it health, to patients at no cost to the hospitals.
While its presence in children's wards around New Zealand has been well documented, less known is its work with older patients, including those at Christchurch's Princess Margaret Hospital.
The trust was co-founded in 2009 by Thomas Petschner and Rita Noetzel. Professor Petschner grew up in Europe and worked as a performer and director before pursuing a career in integrated diagnostics and, later, complementary medicine. His interests came together when he created a specialist academic qualification for clown doctors and founded the International Institute for Medical Clowning, at Steinbeis University in Berlin.
"It's not rocket science, really. It's a necessity for clowns working in this environment to know more than just telling a joke."
Professor Petschner sees humour as mental hygiene, and he said there was plenty of scientific research indicating the physical, mental and social benefits of laughter in a hospital environment.
"So we actually created [an] occupation of the future. We created something out of a need right now."
Interacting with clown doctors could bring great benefits for older patients, he said - many of whom missed out on their childhoods through having to work or go to war.
"Now they are at the stage of their life when they are sick and old and bringing humour to [the] elderly is an incredibly nice undertaking."
The trust fundraises to cover the cost of clown doctors in hospitals around the country but they must deliver services to the standard set down by the institute and undergo regular professional development.
"They have to be able to read the mood in a room in a few seconds"
Professor Petschner said they were now ready to expand. From March 2016, following a successful pilot programme, the trust will be operating in 11 Selwyn Foundation villages in Auckland, Hamilton and Whangarei.
The aim is both to improve older patients' quality of life and self-image, and to transform the ways in which societies perceive and interact with their older citizens.
"One important thing is that [the] Selwyn Foundation doesn't see clown doctors just as entertainers. They see clown doctors and humour in that environment as part of essential services that are improving health. That's a big difference."
Reading the room
Clown doctors themselves are very aware of taking the pulse of each ward when they enter it.
And while they respect the wishes of those who don't want to interact, Doctor Poppy said she could usually find a way to connect with a patient.
"Winning an adult over is so much more rewarding [than a child] in some respects... and to see older adults being playful is a delight."
For Phillipa Scott, who had broken her leg, the visit of Poppy and Betty was a welcome distraction.
"I think they're great fun. I think they add colour and humour."
Another patient, Margaret Chelley, was about to have a nap but was happy to postpone it in favour of a sing-along, telling the clown doctors, "You do a great job."
Staff support
It's not just the patients who notice those connections. Nurses at Princess Margaret Hospital have seen improvements from those visited by the clowns, with Pip Hyde already a fan.
"I love them. They're gorgeous. I love seeing people's faces when they come into the rooms."
Ms Hyde said one patient had very little interaction with staff but was stirred into action by the clown doctors' visit.
"He stood up and started singing for everyone. [The clown doctors] stopped singing and started playing and he sang all the songs for everyone."
The patients and nurses alike were flabbergasted, she said.
Without the clown doctors there, nurses and patients alike would not have known that he had previously been a performer, she said.
"We were all touched. It was beautiful."

Nefertiti gets hacked
BODY:
Two artists who secretly copied one of Germany's most prized antiquities then released it around the world for free, have revived an international debate about cultural theft and repatriation. In 1912, German archeologists in Egypt found the 3000-year-old bust of Queen Nefertiti, and it's become one of Berlin's biggest tourist attractions. Nora Al-Badri and Jan Mikolai Nelles used a scanning device hidden under a scarf when they went to Neues Museum in Berlin in October. They first used the data to create 3-D printed copies of the bust. Then they worked with hackers who released the data to the world, for free.

Emerging designers and the changing face of fashion
BODY:
This year iD Fashion Week is in its 17th year. Thirty-nine emerging designers from 15 countries will have the opportunity to show their work before a panel of local and international judges. The designers are competing for prize money, internships and the chance to have their collections shown on the runway at iD Fashion Week. Sonia Sly speaks to international guest judge Stefan Siegel about the importance of emerging designers, slow fashion and the changing landscape of the fashion industry; Dunedin-based Sarah Munro from New Zealand label Company of Strangers talks about the playing field that is iD Fashion Week and what she was looking for in the preliminary round of judging; and last year's winner Steve Hall chats about bringing a collection together in a month and the reality of doing the hard yards.
EXTENDED BODY:
Fashion is reflection of our times, and today manufacturers work at breakneck speed to keep up with the demand of high street retail stores to ensure that the latest offerings from the runway are made readily available on the racks.
But for emerging designers around the world, the fast and furious pace of the fashion industry isn’t necessarily the end game that they’re looking for when it comes to their future in the fashion industry.
Twenty six-year-old Te Puke-born and now Hawkes Bay-based designer, Steve Hall, took out the prestigious award for Emerging International Designer at last year’s iD Fashion Week, followed swiftly by success at New Zealand Fashion Week where he won the Miromoda Supreme Award. But despite the accolades, he hasn’t given over to the temptation of moving too quickly to make things happen.
“I’ve got a little studio where I work full-time and live. It’s a pretty basic set-up [with two industrial sewing machines] but I make it work. I haven’t tried to rush or invest in a big studio and I’m taking my career in fashion quite slow. Everyone’s different, but it seems to be working.”
Hall cites Zambesi and Nom*D as local designers that inspire him, while Comme Des Garçon, Craig Green and JW Anderson are among the international names that he looks up to.
He has plans to move to London after showing his monk and geisha-inspired collection at this year’s iD Fashion Week.
“I want to work for a few of the bigger designers that I really like to see how they operate, and then when I’m ready to continue my own label I’ll see how I want to operate as a designer,” says Hall.
Chen Yi is a finalist in the iD International Emerging Design category at this year’s event. She hails from Shanghai and has her sights set on running her own studio in the not-too-distant future. The idea is more feasible now, given that the fashion market in China has changed.
“Independent original designers are becoming more and more popular in Shanghai,” says the designer who is still working towards her final graduation project.
In her submission for iD, she takes direct inspiration from traditional Shanghai Jinshan farmer paintings: “It is a kind of civil artistic expression in Shanghai. The striking contrast of the colour in the paints motivate my imagination, so I put the brush strokes, graffiti and casual leaf traces in the collection.”
Yousef Akbar is a TAFE graduate whose collection, ‘Blood Witness’, is a deconstruction of classic silhouettes where he combines elegant draping, intricate hand-beading and armour-like statement pieces.
Growing up in the Middle East, the Australian-based designer says witnessing the oppression of women by men, made a lasting impact.
“All my work comes from some sort of emotion [or] some sort of frustration that I need to express.”
“The starting point for this collection was that there are so many tragedies in the world around us today. I wanted to dedicate this collection to all the women of this world—the silent women fighting their own battles.”
Akbar’s work is undoubtedly beautiful, yet he feels it would be nothing without a message behind it.
“I hope that I evoke some emotion, to raise awareness that there are many other humans suffering because of the greed of others and hunger for power. Most of these victims are women and children [and] this is simply my way to share my feelings and thoughts about it.”
Sara Munro, creative director of New Zealand label Company of Strangers, says the calibre of talent was extremely high this year.
“I always look for the most original ideas and how well they’re executed. You’re really looking for that wow factor [and] people that are pushing boundaries [who] you think are going to go far.”
Munro says the competition really allows designers to let their imaginations go and to create the kind of garments that one would never design for retail.
In previous years, changes in technology have led designers towards digital printing and laser cutting, but she says this year the strong emphasis and theme that came through was focussed on ethical practice.
“People are really thinking about the fabrics they’re using, how they’re going to be made and where, and the effect on our world, it’s something that fashion really needs to think about especially in the fast fashion culture that we have at the moment.”
Sustainability and the concept of slow fashion has been the focus for emerging designer platform, Not Just a Label, founded by London-based Stefan Siegel in 2008.
Siegel will be coming to New Zealand to judge the finals of the iD International Emerging Designer Awards and knows a thing or two about working with new talent.
“Sustainability and fashion is an oxymoron, but what we’re trying to do is create a new system for fashion where we can decelerate the process, the seasons, and even go back and allow the designers to survive by having smaller collections or small production scales.”
His website hosts fashion talent from around the world and they encourage their stable of designers to look towards adopting zero waste policies and investigating their supply chains to guarantee ethical practices.
But ultimately, Siegel looks for designers who have an ability to translate a story into their garments and those whose work speaks of their backgrounds or locations are often the most successful on the platform.
“On our consulting side we deal with some of the biggest corporations in the world and at the same time we’re on the phone with someone who is based in a country that finds itself in political turmoil, [yet] they stick to being creative and creating beautiful art or wearables.”
Siegel says the fashion landscape has changed dramatically, no longer dictating that designers base themselves in the bigger fashion capitals of Paris, New York and Milan. Instead they have the freedom to work from their location of choice without it having a detrimental effect on their growth in the industry.
“Fashion is so interesting because you find yourself at the limits of a very artistic industry, but at the same time it is the world’s biggest industry [and a] hugely commercial environment. Our mission is to open up this world of young artists who desperately want to express themselves via fashion and it’s our responsibility to make their voices heard.”

Te Ahi Kaa - Andrew Robb
BODY:
Since his students days at Victoria University in the 1970's, Andrew Robb made a conscious decision to align himself with Māori issues at the time. Māori Language revitilisation was at the forefront. He would go on to surround himself with mentors that would ease his apprehension of being pākeha and moving in a Māori community. Four decades on, Andrew continues to work with Maori, he sits down with Jerome Civitanovich to discuss those early years of his career, and the important advice he learned along the way.
EXTENDED BODY:
In this week’s edition of Te Ahi Kaa we begin a series of interviews with pākeha whose work has been associated with Te Ao Māori for much of their lives.
How did a Pākeha with little or no contact with the Māori world end up as a fluent speaker of Te Reo, with an expertise in media that saw him working as a media advisor to the Māori Party?
When Andrew Robb enrolled at Victoria University in the early 1970s he enrolled in Māori language lessons. To him it was just another subject, just like the French he had studied at school.
But when he went to his first meeting of the Te Reo Society – the Māori language club at the University - he started hearing the language spoken by native speakers for the first time. Although he only recognised two words – “pakeha” and “Māori” – the meeting had a big impact.
It was a stunning, astonishing revelation. There was the whole culture out there who I had known nothing about. It was a revelation of my ignorance.
The meeting set Andrew on a pathway to immersing himself in the language. He says he was a sponge, listening to people talking, attuning himself to Te Reo and trying to absorb as much as he could.
When he first started being able to understand sentences he was overjoyed.
The 1970s were also an exciting times politically and the students couldn’t remain separate from what was happening around them. A petition calling for Māori to be taught in schools had been presented to parliament and Te Reo Society students were active in pushing for formal recognition of the language.
In Māori society generally I was apprehensive but not because I was made to feel that way, people were incredibly generous, incredibly open, they were very welcoming and te reo māori was a great group to belong because people were aware of what te reo Māori society were doing and they supported it... I felt that I had a role.
Te Reo Society members also supported the efforts of the Land March as well as those protesting at Bastion Point. Andrew remembers visiting Bastion Point in the late 1970's and helping in the kitchen at the marae. He was among a group of over 200 people arrested when the protesters were evicted by 800 police and NZ Army personnel.
After graduation Andrew stayed involved in Te Ao Māori. He moved into media in the 1990's, first as a presenter and reporter for Mana Māori Media, and later in Parliament as a media advisor for the Māori Party.
Andrew says he has never felt self-conscious using Māori language or being in Māori culture.
“I never felt excluded. I was always made to feel very very welcome in their communities and in their affairs.”
He says that being able to use the language has always felt like an extraordinary gift.
“It made such a huge difference to my life. Like gaining sight in another eye.”
Andrew says he learnt Māori because he loved it. One way or another it has been part of everything he’s ever done.
