About me

About me, Teaser

I lecture in Dance History at the NZ School of Dance in Wellington. 

About me

 I grew up in Gisborne and after graduating from Auckland University in 1968, lived for years at a stretch in south-east Asia, New York and Australia.

Having danced nearly all my life - though never professionally - I joined Crows feet nearly 10 years ago. 

I have an MA in Creative Writing from Victoria University and my first book of poetry, 'Len and other poems', was published in 2003 by Steele Roberts.

I have three daughters, 3 grandchildren and have just turned 60.
