  • Movie- BORROMINI & BERNINI - the challenge of perfection (5.00pm)

    Category: Movies Movie- BORROMINI & BERNINI - the challenge of perfection (5.00pm)


    April 6, 2024

    NARRATED IN ENGLISH by Remo Anzovino

    This is the story of the most famous artistic rivalry of all time, the one between Borromini and Bernini, but also the story of Borromini’s rivalry with himself: a genius so absorbed by his art that he turns it into a demon that devours him from the inside forcing him to choose death to reach eternity.

    Borromini deprived himself of everything to pursue a dream: to conquer Rome. It is the story of the architectural revolution of a solitary maestro who changed the appearance of Rome forever, by pushing himself to his limit, but also by battling conventions and prejudices, with the humility to learn from the past to invent the future, with the courage to pursue an idea despite knowing he would pay the price in the end.

    Places and works in Rome visited in the film: Barberini Palace, St. Peter’s canopy, San Carlo alle Quattro Fontane, Sant’Andrea al Quirinale, Basilica of Saint John Lateran, Fountain of the Four Rivers in Piazza Navona, St. Peter’s colonnade, and Villa Adriana in Tivoli.

    Borromini and Bernini: The Challenge for Perfection is the story of an architectural revolution carried out by a solitary genius who changed the appearance of Rome forever, by taking up a personal challenge against convention and prejudice, by having the humility to learn from the past in order to invent the future, and the courage to pursue an idea by paying the price to the full.

    PRODUCER: Laura Chiara Cavalett

    Based on the extraordinary character at the center of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Roald Dahl’s most iconic children’s book and one of the best-selling children’s books of all time, “Wonka” tells the wondrous story of how the world’s greatest inventor, magician and chocolate-maker became the beloved Willy Wonka we know today.

    Category: Art Group/ Drop In Session Karioi Quilts & Crafts


    April 11, 2024

    Karioi Quilts & Crafts - second Thursday of every month.

    The Karioi Quilters have been making high quality, natural fibre, artistic quilts for many years. Primarily a patchwork and quilting group, the members meet to share knowledge and skills and enjoy creating in good company.

    From 2023, we changed the name to Karioi Quilts and Crafts to open the group up to other crafters. 

    Members can work on their own projects ranging from quilts, sewing projects and you can even bring your knitting, as long as it’s not a messy craft anything goes.  New members are always welcome to come along to work on their own projects and learn techniques from a group of very creative craftspeople.

    Group co-ordinator is Sue Webber 021 489944  

    Meetings are held at the Raglan Old School Arts Centre from 10am to 1pm (sometimes 3pm if the room is available) on the second Thursday of every month. 10 sessions per year from February to December. Subscription is $30 per year which goes towards room hire.

  • LIVE & LOCAL at the Old School - April 12

    Category: Music / Gigs LIVE & LOCAL at the Old School - April 12


    April 12, 2024

    Friday April 12 at Raglan Old School Arts Centre, 5 Stewart Street, Raglan. Upstairs in Whare Tapere.

    Koha entry. Doors open at 7pm with Live & Local starting at 7.30pm. Bar open.

    Our popular Live & Local featuring local performers continues.

    .

    April’s Live & Local presents another great mix of Raglan acts, this time with music and stories from Brian Wilson, Freddy Limbert and Ngaronoa Renata.

    .

    Ngaronoa Renata brings another Medicine For The People set. These are always something special and feature different accompanists each time.  A combination of pūrakau & oro (story-telling and sound), she will be sharing pūrakau and poetry accompanied with taonga pūoro and waiata.

    .

    Brian Wilson is making his first solo Live & Local appearance, having performed several times with ukulele group The Ragtimers and accompanied other acts with guitar and ukulele.  Self-described as an aging hippy, Brian says he’ll be playing “An eclectic range of songs, some you may have heard before, but you still may not recognise them!”

    .

    Over the past 40 years you may have seen Fredmo (Freddy Limbert) behind the drums or perhaps on double bass (yes, he did start very young indeed, as long-time locals can attest). Having performed with numerous artists and bands, including on international tours, Freddy has accumulated a unique approach to music. For Live & Local Freddy says he will be “Plucking some stringed instruments and singing some songs from his travels”.

    If you’re interested in performing at one of these shows, contact penni@raglanartscentre.co.nz

    Live & Local presented by Raglan Old School Arts Centre is made possible with the support of Waikato District Creative Communities, Raglan Light & Sound and Mark Frost (Bayleys Real Estate)

    Category: Movies Movie- THE HOLDOVERS (4.30pm)


    April 21, 2024

    2024 OSCAR winner Da’Vine Joy Randolph (Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role) with 2024 Golden Globe winner Paul Giamatti (Best Male actor) as a cranky history teacher at a prep school, forced to remain on campus over the holidays with a troubled student who has no place to go.

    STUFF/ WAIKATO TIMES Graeme Tuckett 5/5 stars "Da'Vine Joy Randolph (The United States vs Billie Holiday) takes on the role of chef and confidant Mary, and burns the screen down in a couple of key scenes. The Holdovers is a marvel."

    From acclaimed director Alexander Payne, THE HOLDOVERS follows a bad tempered instructor (Paul Giamatti) at a prestigious American school who is forced to remain on campus during Christmas break to babysit the handful of students with nowhere to go. Eventually he forms an unlikely bond with one of them -- a damaged, brainy troublemaker (newcomer Dominic Sessa) -- and with the school’s head cook, who has just lost a son in Vietnam (Da’Vine Joy Randolph).

    April 24, 2024

    A Whaingaroa Writers world event. An Inside View: Major (Retired) Lindsay Amner spent a total of 34 years serving in both the New Zealand and Australian armies. He served ten years as a soldier in the Royal New Zealand Infantry Regiment, ending as a sergeant, before completing a Masters degree in Strategic Studies and being commissioned as an Education Officer in the Royal New Zealand Army Education Corps. Having filled every role available to a New Zealand education officer, including Curator of the National Army Museum,  the Senior Army Education Advisor and the Army Historian, Lindsay transferred to the Australian Army and spent ten years in various education roles, ending as the editor of the Australian Army Journal.   Lindsay retired in 2018 and enjoys the life of a country gent with his wife, Ninette, on their riverside property in Whatawhata.

    Lindsay owns one of the best collections of the New Zealand Official War Histories and will talk about how this unique series of books came to be. Many of these books are extremely rare today, some with print runs of only 500 copies.   Lindsay will bring a number of the more interesting books and use them to illustrate his discussion of the landings and some of the more significant battles of the Gallipoli campaign on the night before Anzac Day.

    April 26, 2024

    A Whaingaroa Writers World event. Local historian, Elizabeth Amoore, a third generation Raglanite, loves history, and she particularly enjoys researching the history of this area. Come and hear about methods Liz used over a period of more than two years, as she painstakingly researched the East Street cemetery in order to try and identify those buried there. Her book ‘The Stories Behind the Headstones’ is no dull tome of boring facts but an enlightening look at the lives of early settlers, through the telling of their stories and the use of numerous photographs. Liz believes that by reading about their lives we are better able to understand the social context of how individuals and communities experienced previous eras, as well as the impact events had on them.  Koha entry.

    Our Soldiers Story of Survival, Hope and Redemption

    X-Press magazine 6.5/10 “A solid addition to the list of Australian war films, Before Dawn puts us in the muddy boots of the diggers in France.”

    Based on real life war diaries, Before Dawn is an epic retelling of one of Australia’s biggest victories during WW1. Jim Collins, a young man from the outback, leaves his family-run sheep station to join the ANZAC and fight on the western front with hopes of making a difference.

    Soon, the realities of the muddy, ruthless, and entirely unforgiving war takes its toll on Jim. As the men in the battalion are whittled away and hope becomes a distant memory, a final chance at redemption at the Battle of the Hindenburg Line, one of Australia’s greatest WW1 military victories. Jim must risk death or forever carry the burden of leaving yet another man behind.
