The Gathering is a festival of freedom, dance, music and participation. Your presence creates The Gathering. Take care, we are all responsible for the environment. Be nice humans.

A month or so ago I entered The Gathering archives website for the ONYAs web awards. The awards are being organised by the same awesome crew that brings the Webstock web conference to Wellington each year (hi Mike and Tash! You rock!) and this is the first year they’ve done the ONYAs.
The ONYAs celebrate those [...]

I haven’t quite got through them all yet, so if you haven’t heard from me yet, don’t despair, I’ll be in touch over the next few days, and [...]

Radio New Zealand are re-broadcasting their documentary The Gatherers, which first hit the airwaves back in December. I know from our web stats that heaps of you listened in and got inspired to visit The Gathering Archives website and blog, but just in case you missed it the first time around, or want to hear [...]

Radio New Zealand presents The Gatherers on National Radio, Saturday 29 December at 1.06pm – part of Music 101 with Kirsten Johnstone.
I got an email a few weeks ago from Kirsten Johnstone at Radio New Zealand. She’d seen The Gathering archives website and was so inspired by it that she decided it was high [...]

I’ve added a whole load of fantastic photos of The Gathering G2000, taken by Jonnie Halstead. These are the photos that he exhibited at the Subsonorous exhibition in April-May 2001, and they’re gorgeous!
I have some prints on my wall which I bought at the exhibition – Jonnie’s great at capturing amazing images of people – [...]

Remember those videos I was talking about? Well, they’re all up online now.
We’ve got video from The Gathering 97/98, The Gathering G2000 and The Gathering G2 – and mighty fine it looks too. Thanks a million to Iain for making such high-quality copies for me to put on Google Video.
I suppose my personal favourite is [...]

Well, a video, anyway…
I’m having a bit of trouble getting the high-res version of The Gathering documentary 97/98 online at Google Video – it took quite a few days to upload – and then it failed… I have no idea why. Rats! I’m trying again now…
So in the meantime, here’s a little news report [...]

So my lovely friend Iain (who happens to be a film editor) brought his portable hard drive over to my place tonight. He’s been making me a super high quality version of The Gathering documentary 97/98 – all 11.5GB of it! Crikey!
Those of you who’ve already watched the large-screen version of the doco on Google [...]

I’ve put a bunch more news items in the media coverage sections for The Gathering 96/97, 97/98, 98/99 and G2000. And there’s still more to come! I went to the library a couple more times last week and got a whole lot more. I’ll try and put them up over the next week or so.
I’ve [...]

So I had this brilliant idea as I was heading off to bed last night – all to do with the spoken word.
I was thinking how we don’t have very many stories on the website yet, and that for some people that might be because they don’t like writing stuff down. Or at least, they [...]
