Poetry of our Ancestry, Story of our Belonging Printable Reality Actors Ensemble brings to life a contemporary performance/live literature project exploring the experience of becoming a New Zealander.
A poet, playwright and fiction writer, Renee frequently collaborates across disciplines.
As well as performing her own poetry and running Poetry Slams in the persona of "Slammistress", Renee has been involved with Poetry Live for many years, acting as MC from 2005-9, and organising many other poetic events.
She was a key instigator in the Guerilla Poetry group which literally puts poetry on the streets.
She also produces Funky Oriental Beats, a yearly showcase for Kiwi-Asian performing artists and helps run the arts collaboration project Metonymy.
Her sold-out plays Lantern and The Bone Feeder have been seen in centres around the North Island.
In February 2011 her short film with director Steven Chow, "Tide", will show at Clermont-Ferrand film festival.
A collaboration between herself and Robbie Ellis, "The Lovers' Knot" for actor and orchestra, will be performed by Stuart Devenie and the Auckland Philharmonia in May.
Renee has been published in the New Zealand Listener, JAAM, Blackmail Press, Tongue in your Ear, Sidestream and Magazine. For her work in medicine and arts, Renee was named a Sir Peter Blake Emerging Leader in 2010.
by Charles Baudelaire
Tell me, enigmatic man, whom do you love beet?
Your father, your mother, your sister, or your brother?
"I have neither father, nor mother, nor sister, nor brother."
Your friends, then?
"You use a word that until now has had no meaning for me."
Your country?
"I am ignorant of the latitude in which it is situated."
Then Beauty?
"Her I would love willingly, goddess and immortal."
Gold?
"I hate it as you hate your God."
What, then, extraordinary stranger, do you love?
"I love the clouds
The clouds that pass
The marvellous clouds."
