EMPLOYMENT : Graphic Team Leader role

TimeZoneOne Graphic Design Recruitment
Currently TimeZoneOne is having a boom due to our USA client growth. This means we are need of additional quality graphic designers, including a graphic team leader role. We are having real trouble finding top talent (we have been advertising for months) so we are putting the word out, if you might know of anyone, or you might know of someone who might know of someone…etc. The job(s) are pretty good, we look after our team and our graphic designers get to work on large and interesting USA brands and projects.
If you could pass this message on, or ask around then that would be much appreciated.
Anyone interested can just contact me (andy). The fee for finding this person will be the standard TimeZoneOne HR recruitment fee – a well done pat on the back.

THEATRE: Magdalena Aotearoa National Gathering

5-10 April, Wellington
Early bird deadline extended

There has been a great response to our call for works-in-progress to be presented at the National Gathering. The eight selected works involve 23 practitioners from "emerging" to "experienced" and represent a diverse range of styles, themes and stages of development. Together with the workshops, discussions and evening events, these work-in-progress presentations will make the Gathering a rich and inspiring event. The selected works and presenting artists will be announced shortly.

As there are still a few participant places left, and we appreciate that even a small fee is difficult for many theatre artists to find, the early bird discounted registration period has been extended up to February 20th. For unwaged/students, the early bird fee is just $150 - that's for 5 days packed with workshops, discussions and work-in-progress presentations with some of the country's most interesting contemporary women theatre makers.

Participation is open to both men and women, and there is also the option to register for single days if you are not able to attend the whole event.

Participant registration forms, the full programme and further information is available at http://magdalena.actrix.co.nz/gathering/
