ADJUDICATOR PROFILES:
BALLET & MODERN DANCE: Abby Dutton, Hamilton, Graduate of the Apollo Theatre School 2010, Diploma of Musical Theatre, Junior & Intermediate Teaching (AJDA) ,National Certificate of Fitness, Exercise Consultancy, Personal Training Business Abby learnt Ballet, Jazz and Tap from age 5 at Valerie Lissette School of Dance in Hamilton. After completing year 13 at school, she spent 2 years under Sarah Boocock at the Apollo Theatre School to complete her full-time professional training in Musical Theatre and also carried out her teaching studies. In 2011, upon completion of her diploma, Abby received a short contract as Dance Educator for the Royal New Zealand Ballet Company for Tutu’s On Tour. She has since completed 2 more contracts, a second season of Tutu’s on Tour and Swan Lake in 2013. Following a month in Los Angeles to rehearse the onboard shows, she began a contract onboard Princess Cruises, Island Princess, shortly after finishing her RNZB tour. It was then that she absolutely fell in love with travelling, meeting new people and the challenge of life on the seas. In 2012 Abby spent 6 months in Mumbai, India as a dancer in Bollywood featuring in 13 different films, which was a very challenging and rewarding experience. In 2013, Abby danced for South African Dance Company ‘Afro Arimba’ on a world cruise onboard Costa Deliziosa, Costa Cruises. In 2014, she was offered an extended performer contract on the Caribbean, Sapphire and Diamond Princess’ completing her 20-month stint in October 2015. Abby has taught/educated, choreographed and adjudicated a great deal throughout her profressional dance career. She enjoys guest teaching and taking master classes and workshops over the country and in the past has involved herself in a number of corporate gigs, cheerleading, brand ambassador/promotional model work, tutoring and managing Arts On Show workshops, pageant work, mentoring on World Class Dance Tour (formally known as NZ Dance Networks), taking Dance Industry seminars and so on. Having discovered a passion for fitness in recent years, Abby has completed study in fitness, enjoying the relationship between dance and fitness and the ability to marry together her 2 passions. In early 2016 Abby was nominated, then earned her place as a finalist in the New Zealand Exercises Industry Awards as Up & Coming Personal Trainer of the Year. She is now a Personal Trainer at Les Mills, teaches Pilates, runs boot-camps and group fitness classes along side her dance work. 2016 also saw her begin her own business ‘Studio Glow’ which offers services in Dance, Fitness and Beauty. Abby would like to thank the competitions committee in New Plymouth for inviting her down to enjoy some lovely dancing and for looking after her throughout the festival! Best wishes to all competitors. Enjoy and dance your hearts out!

TAP DANCING: Shona Devoy, Tauranga
Shona has been involved with the competitive dance scene for nearly 50 years, having started learning and competing in tap dance as a 5 year old. She spent her formative years competing around New Zealand and completing her exams, and then as a 16 year old became a teacher in Whakatane and now in Tauranga. She teaches privately in her own studio, working with dancers especially on the stage performance and competition aspect of dance. She has had the pleasure of adjudicating many younger dancers along the way. Over the years she has seen a number of her pupils succeed overseas, some have gone on to be teachers, while others just remember the enjoyment of their dancing lifetime. She taught her two daughters, one of which is now a teacher and adjudicator in Manawatu and their love and appreciation of dance continues. Most of all her excitement comes from seeing the self esteem and confidence grow in anyone who learns to dance and perform, and then taking that on throughout their lives. She has a passion for dance, especially Tap.
More recently she has been involved with choreography for stage shows and group performances for various organisations, the most challenging being “The Producers” which included teaching adult men and women to tap dance to perform a number of the items in that show along with musical theatre and jazz numbers. She has a strong belief that dance should be seen and enjoyed by audiences and therefore supports the performance aspect of it strongly. While many musicals and shows have wonderfully strong lead singers, it is often the ability to sing, act and dance that creates stars. In New Zealand, we have an abundance of such talent and Shona believes that this competition will be no exception.
PIANO & INSTRUMENTAL: Ingrid Culliford, Wanganui
After many years studying and working in London as a free-lance flautist where she worked with several known orchestras and chamber ensembles and taught at Trinity College and the Royal Academy of Music Junior department, Ingrid Culliford returned to New Zealand in 1994. Since then, Ingrid has continued to perform widely. She has been a member of the Auckland based ensemble 175East since 1997, toured in Indonesia and for Chamber Music NZ with Tuhonohono (featuring the music of Dame Gillian Whitehead) and has performed with the Australian ensemble, Elision. She has worked as a casual extra with the NZSO and is a recording artist for Radio NZ. Ms Culliford continues to give recitals, masterclasses and concerto performances throughout New Zealand. In addition to her performance work, Ingrid is very involved with teaching. For a number of years she was tutor in flute at both Waikato University and the NZ School of Music in Wellington. She was also Head of Music at Nga Tawa School and is currently a Senior Examiner for the International Baccalureate as well as an examiner for the NZMEB (NZ Music Examinations Board). She is currently tutor in woodwind and piano at both Collegiate and Nga Tawa Schools. In August 2015 she was a recipient of the Marie Vandevart Award for outstanding service in fostering a love of chamber music.

importance of accessing the whole voice in order to tell the story of a song with naturalness and freedom.

NATIONAL YOUNG PERFORMER AWARDS 2017 CRITERIA FORTROUPES/GROUPS
A. Competitors may be of any age. Competitors may only compete in ONE nominated Troupe/Group for any particular Studio or Educational Institution. e.g. a Competitor may be in ONE Troupe for their Dance Studio and ONE Troupe for their High School or College.
B. Each Troupe/Group shall be nominated at a Member Society Competition by
performing in any dance genre pertinent to the Competition they enter. This competition is for amateur troupes/groups only and is not open to professionals. (A Professional is someone whose primary employment is being paid to perform or work in the performing arts. For the present purposes, being a student constitutes “primary employment” and therefore is not seen as a Professional. For the Student who receives payment for participation, either teaching or performing, this should not impose professional status on a person if it is by way only of an occasional bonus or benefit rather than their principal means of earning a livelihood. The exception to this is a participating teacher who may perform.)
C. There shall be a maximum time limit of five minutes, taken from the beginning to the
conclusion of the music. A penalty of 5 marks will be imposed if the time limit is exceeded by 10 seconds or more.
D. Troupes/Groups who gain nomination must be able to attend the National Young
Performer Competition which will be held in Palmerston North. Compulsory Registration/Orientation will be on the evening of Thursday 19th and the Competition will be on Friday 20th October 2017.
E. The winning Troupe/Group will be announced at the completion of Competition on the
Friday and it would be appreciated if the group were available to perform at the Final
Award Concert on Sunday night 22ndOctober 2017.
F. Costumes, choreography & music should be appropriate to the age of both the competitors and suitable for a family audience.
NB. The CLOSING DATES will be relative to the date of Nomination. Troupe/Group
members’ names and ages & Entry Fee will need to be submitted on the Official Entry Form by the Closing date.
Nominees in the Troupe/Group section are required to include performance
copies of their music on CD when submitting their entry form, and a list of the titles and composer and/or artists for each piece. The FINAL DATE for submitting music is 8th September 2017.
SOCIETY NOMINATION
Each Society, which a financial member of PACANZ, may nominate ONE Troupe/Group,** who shall be selected by the adjudicator, based on a performance at the Member Society Competition. **(As some Societies split their dance genres and run large competitions with different Judges and/or at different times of the year, they will be able to nominate more than one group to represent their Society. If a Society has 30 or more entries in the Troupe/Group Nomination section, then they are entitled to offer a second Nomination).
-
28
The adjudicator will determine that the Troupe/Group has displayed a sufficient standard of performance to competently represent that society at the National Troupe/Group Finals.
The standard required will be the absolute discretion of the adjudicator but will include:
A demonstration of adequate preparation
An authority of performance
A performance with a level of expertise commensurate with a national final competition.
If the adjudicator considers that sufficient standard has NOT been reached by any Troupe/Group, then NO nomination will be made.
The nominated Troupe/Group is responsible for paying the entry fee to the National Young Performer Awards, which is $250.00 incl gst.
The winning Troupe/Group will receive a Trophy and $1,000 for their Studio.

The standard required will be at the absolute discretion of the adjudicator but will include:
A demonstration of adequate preparation
An authority of performance
A performance with a level of maturity commensurate with a national final competition of this age group.
If the adjudicator considers that sufficient standard has NOT been reached by any competitor, then NO nomination will be made. The Nominating Society is responsible for paying part of the entry fee to the National Young Performer Awards, which is $75 incl GST. The Nominee is responsible for paying part of the entry fee to the National Young Performer Awards i.e. $175.00 incl gst. DIRECT ENTRY NOMINATION
If the adjudicator considers that more than two competitors have reached a sufficient standard, the adjudicator may report to the committee that those competitors should be given the option of a DIRECT ENTRY NOMINATION.
