May Lee Allen from Haka Works will reconnect us with Māori culture and language in a Te Reo Māori language masterclass

About this Event
Increase your confidence in using Te Reo Māori in every day social and business interactions.

Te Reo Māori has found its way into the hearts and minds of New Zealanders with people of all backgrounds now choosing to engage with learning this beautiful language. As Te Reo becomes more widely spoken and valued in different settings, it is increasingly important and enjoyable to be able to participate and share in Maori language and culture.

In this session you will learn some Māori language fundamentals to develop your capability and confidence in using Te Reo Māori language including:

• Pronunciation
• Greetings
• Introducing yourself

You’ll also engage with some key Māori cultural concepts around language, learning and life to help you easily use more Te Reo in your day to day life.

The NZ Government aims for 1 million New Zealanders to be able to speak basic Te Reo Māori by 2040 and with online learning there is no reason for off-shore kiwis to be excluded from this. Join your fellow New Zealand business women in taking a step towards this together.

May Lee Allen is a speaker of Te Reo Māori and has taught in a Māori immersion secondary school. After over a decade in traditional classrooms, this year May Lee began teaching online with her students particularly valuing the opportunity to speak Māori in a safe, supportive, interactive online environment. May Lee is also a performer and trainer for Manaia and Haka Works, and a long standing member and tutor of Ngāti Rānana London Maori Club. Follow May Lee on LinkedIn.

Join stylist Suzanne Delahunty & use what you wear to lift your mood, be more productive & establish a powerful presence on video calls

About this Event
Research has shown that what we wear has a direct impact on our mood, our productivity and how we are perceived by others. This is particularly important when it comes to our career. Yet in 2020 most of our professional interactions are being carried out via video calls. So how can we make the right impact in terms of visuals when all we have to work with is a small square on the computer screen?

In this Masterclass, personal stylist Suzanne Delahunty will take us through how we can use what we wear and how we present ourselves to lift our mood, make us more productive and to establish an impactful presence on video calls. From the psychology of colour through to accessories, there are so many elements within our control to ensure we stand out for the right reasons.

Suzanne Delahunty has been living in London for 12 years. She started her career as a lawyer in the TV, tech and marketing industries. However, her passion for style and clothes led her to study styling at the London College of Fashion and change her career. Now, professional women and men hire her as a stylist to develop their personal style and help them feel confident in how they present themselves to the world.

As the nights draw in and winter beckons, Sands Films Music Room presents an evening of “ Kammermusik”, streamed live.  Each poignant note of Beethoven’s and that which is reflected through his contemporaries, Schubert and Schumann resonate in tribute to him, providing an auditory feast. Cello, voice and piano combine to weave a web of intimacy and poetry.

Schumann’s “Im Volkeston” lingers like the “delicate fragrant flowers that rather than stamp through the salon in triumph, refresh like the wind in a quiet circle.”

Currents infuse Schubert’s “Auf dem strom”, his homage to Beethoven. Whispered echoes of the Eroica symphony infuse poetic reflections of the eternal river flow that separates lovers by fate and the tides of time. The narrator, cut off from human contact in isolation, trusts in fate that might one day unite us all under the glittering stars.

Beethoven’s Cello Sonata from his late period summons the enigma of what he coined his “free sonata” metaphorically inviting the cellist to cross from one bank of the Danube to the other. It moves from the intimacy of conversational exchanges to a humorous and ironic joyous finale.

To conclude a marriage of Beethoven and Celtic poetry in a Scottish Folksong on the perils and intimacies of love.”

As the outside world seems less accessible, this livestream will conjure both hope and warmth. Turn off your phone, tune in, light the candles, scatter the cushions and let the music beguile you…. The players will speak about the music: the performance will be 60 min overall.
