Crying and Misbehaving - Frontseat this Sunday
Frontseat, 10.20pm this Sunday 8th October on TV ONE.
CRYING MEN:
Frontseat comes to you this weekend
from City Gallery Wellington, which opens an exhibition of
works by outstanding Brit artist Sam Taylor-Wood. This work
features large photographs of 27 big-name male actors in
vulnerable moments, along with an infamous video work of
David Beckham asleep.
HOW TO CRY:
Inspired by Sam
Taylor-Wood, several of New Zealand’s finest theatrical
and screen actors discuss – and in some cases demonstrate
– the craft of crying within their work. Intimate
portraits and honest thoughts make this a story you won’t
see anywhere else. Featuring such luminaries as Ian Mune,
Rob Mokoraka, Miranda Manasiadis, Cameron Rhodes, Serena
Cotton.
THE FRONT ROW:
Opinionated comment from
recognisable faces with plenty to say. Keep your eyes peeled
for actor Joel Tobeck, radio gal Noelle McCarthy, artist
Dick Frizzell & apostrophe police officer Jon Bridges.
This week: Why Art Should Be More Like Sport. Naked
Samoan and playwright Mario Gaoa hits the streets of Manukau
City to find out what art is missing that sport’s known
about all along, and discovers an artist who took up boxing
for his latest work on show at Te Tuhi: The Mark in
Pakuranga.
DON’T MISBEHAVE:
That’s the theme of
this year’s SCAPE Art & Industry Biennial in Christchurch.
So Josie McNaught sets out on a quest to discover which
artist is misbehaving in public the most. Along the way she
meets the awesome Ronnie Van Hout and the man with a huge
reputation, Martin Creed. (Madonna awarded him the Turner
Prize for the room with the light that turns on and off.)
NOMINATE A GREAT LINE IN KIWI FILM:
Keep those
nominations flooding in as we celebrate the craft of
scriptwriting! “You’re not a Mexican, you’re a bloody
Maori” from Came A Hot Friday is hauling in the
