On the 6th November the class went to the Henderson library in the van with Robert. We were sent a list of authors in the archive. I was interested in the writers and musicians who have performed their work at the festival - to name a few Robert Sullivan, Witi Ihamaera, Albert Wendt, Nalini Singh, Emily Perkins, Daren Kamili, Chad Taylor, Fiona Kidman, Bill Manhire,Janet Charman, Karen Hay, Dave Dobbyn.
We listened to Hone Tuwhare, Dorothy Butler, Kate DeGoldi, Tusi Tuisala. They read some of their work out and spoke about their writing.
I am definately going to the festival next year as I think it would be really worthwhile. We can visit anytime we want and the staff were really helpful. Loved the library which seems really current with it being attached to a Unitec. Really enjoyed the van ride in with the class.
