Stephen Freed

Stephen Freed is 20, and a full time Arts student. Very interested in music. Has played in the University Orchestra and the Wellington Youth Orchestra for the past few years. Also has many ties with drama, having worked for several month at Downstage Theatre, as well as being involved in University Drama Club productions. He has close associations with local professional music as well as the NZ. Opera Co. and the Ballet Co, and also the various visual arts in Wellington.

Lunch Hour Entertainments: he plans to organise regular lunch hour concerts, plays, poetry readings, lectures and discussions on literature, and invite local professional musicians, actor, writer and poets to address audiences at the University.

Visits By Touring Artists: The average student cannot afford the time or money to get to most performances of touring artiste, so, as well as inviting NZ artists, I will approach all visiting artiste and personalities associated with culture and ask them to come to University one lunch hour to perform.

Student Talent in Performing and Visual Arts: by offering a full and varied programmes throughout the year I hope to provide incentive to students to utilise their own talents in the performing and visual arte. I would give every encouragement to students who wish to perform or hold an exhibition.

University Cultural Societies: I would keep in close touch with all the cultural and associated clubs and societies, and would do all in my power to help them in matters of organisation and finance.

Student Literary Magazines: Several student literary magazines are now being published, and I would offer all help and encouragement within my power.
