12:43pm A question of art ethics
Ethics are a potential minefield in the performing arts. Who
should take credit for devised works? What to do when your mother’s in the cast
of your play? To pay your performers or not to pay your performers? A range of
practitioners have been interviewed about their thoughts and experiences and
they’re available in a series of podcasts.
We hear from the co-ordinator Melissa Laing, and two
interviewees Louise Tu'u and Tru Paraha.

1:30 Sisters in Arms
Only a few women surgeons managed to fight their way to the
Front Line in the First World War – and one of them was a New Zealander. Jessie
Scott’s story is being told in a theatre production that’s being co-created by
Dunedin group Ake Ake and a Serbian theatre company. Sisters in Arms received
around 30-thousand dollars from Creative New Zealand, as part of its funding
for First World War centenary events. Jessica Latton from Ake Ake first met
Serbian director Sanja Krsmanovic Tasic when her Serbian company
performed in New Zealand back in 1999. Sisters in Arms will premiere in
Belgrade in September before being performed in Dunedin, 10-13 October, then
Nelson 18 and 19 October.

American author J. Robert Lennon, they’ve have been inspired to look at the

2:26 Today's typography
There’s a bewildering and ever-expanding choice of typefaces
available these days. Companies are prepared to spend a lot of money
commissioning unique typefaces and logos – letters which will look good in
print and, increasingly, on screen. At the forefront of type design is British
graphic designer Paul Barnes, who’s designed Guardian Egyptian for the Guardian
newspaper, numbers for football players’ jerseys and the logo for model Kate
Moss. Paul was in New Zealand recently as a guest of The Designers Institute of
New Zealand.
2:40 University of Otago Scottish Writers Fellow
The first University of Otago Scottish Writers Fellow

collaborated with opera companies and artists, and written a much loved novel
Clara about the life of composer Clara Schumann. She’s also written
award-winning memoirs, poems, short stories - and here in New Zealand, one of
her planned projects involves learning more about our sheep. Janice is a guest
at both the Auckland and Dunedin Writers and Readers Festivals this week.
Dunedin short-story writer Breton Dukes releases his second
