Description
From its humble beginnings on Cuba Street in Wellington to a world-class facility in Te Whaea: National Dance & Drama Center, the journey of the New Zealand Drama School has been marked by many challenges and turning points. Told year by year, this account covers the vibrant history of a vital New Zealand drama organization from its inauguration in the 1970s to the present day. Passionately written and vividly illustrated, this book celebrates the Maori and Pakeha (non-Maori) influences that contributed to the growth and success of this multidisciplinary performing arts institution.
