Her solo act was heard in Baltimore street music venues, festivals and restaurants in the Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia areas. At <a href="http://www.claymont.org/">Claymont</a>, in West Virginia, Suzy attended many Guitar Craft Seminars, helping her to build a new relationship with herself and her music, in fact, laying the foundation for composing her own material. <br />
<br />
After falling in love with an organic farmer from New Zealand, Suzy moved there and found new performance partners. She played in the duet ‘Kalliope’, as well as several incarnations of the band ‘Wish’, while balancing her music with motherhood and farm life. During this time she helped to organize the only Guitar Craft course to take place in New Zealand (so far). Suzy also became interested in the healing/balancing potential of the voice, studying with Ruth Weimar and Isabella Bates. She has gradually developed her own workshops and teaching style which celebrate voice, rhythm, and movement.(Please see "Workshops and Lessons" for more information). Suzy was a director and manager of Creative Journeys Ltd. from 1998-2006. Creative Journeys is a wonderful programme for adults with intellectual disabilities in which music and creativity play a major role.</span><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',Chicago,Sans-serif,cursive; font-size: 9pt;"><br />
<br />
"Strangely, I find that I have been the composer, director and band member for the music of eight Summer Shakespeare productions, and eight seasons of The Manawatu Festival of New Arts in Palmerston North, New Zealand. I have composed and recorded the music for one animated film, and am working on another. <br />
In 2004, I released my first solo album ‘Paradise’. In 2006, I wrote and directed music for “The Bowler Hat” by Angie Farrow, performed at Bats Theatre for Fringe 2006 and for which I was a Chapman-Tripp Theatre Award nominee. In successve years I also wrote the music for two full length plays by Dr. Angie Farrow: "Before The Birds" and "The River". A member of “The Journey Band” since 2007, we performed in The 2007 Wellington Fringe Festival and released our “Searching” EP in 2009." ( http://journeybandnz.googlepages.com)<br />

</div><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b><i><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',Chicago,Sans-serif,cursive;">“Finding a Piece of Paradise”</span></i></b></span></span><br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',Chicago,Sans-serif,cursive; font-size: 10pt;">Excerpts from an article By Richard Mays, Entertainment Reporter,</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',Chicago,Sans-serif,cursive; font-size: 10pt;"> “The Evening Standard” (Palmerston North)</span></i><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',Chicago,Sans-serif,cursive;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;">For some, being compared with 60s American folk-protest icon, Joan Baez would be more than complimentary. However, local musician, singer and songwriter Suzy Hawes feels awkward about it. The American born and bred musician has no desire to be pigeon-holed as an old folkie, or anything else for that matter. It goes against her eclectic approach to music making.<br />
It was the reference to Baez in the media release announcing the launch of Paradise, Hawes’s debut CD that did it. Its writer, Hawes’s daughter Rebekah, was not to know when penning her mother’s publicity brief, that Baez would again be in the news. The 64-year-old protest movement veteran was headlining an anti-Iraqi war rally near the ranch of President George W. Bush, and images flashed around the world. <br />
Two Wrongs, a generic anti-war song on Paradise written at the time of Desert Storm in 1990, is nevertheless addressed by Hawes to both Bushs. <br />
The liner notes succinctly observe that the song “seems just as appropriate now”. <br />
Hawes arrived in Manawatu from America’s East Coast in 1986, and like a number of other imports, never managed to escape. Her musical career had seen her perform solo and as a band member around Baltimore in Maryland, and at festivals, venues and restaurants in Virginia and West Virginia, combining elements of folk, rock, spiritual and klezmer.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',Chicago,Sans-serif,cursive; font-size: 9pt;">Having written all the songs on Paradise, her CD maintains the same eclectic feel, a style that is hard to pin down.<br />
“It’s more than folk, it’s folkrockjazzblues - all one word.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',Chicago,Sans-serif,cursive; font-size: 9pt;">Hawes has recorded before, but on collaborations with others. She played on the Gitbox Rebellion album, Pesky Digits with friend and fellow ex-pat American, Nigel Gavin. A founding member of the Nairobi Trio, member of The Jews Brothers Band, Bravura, and accomplished solo performer, Gavin established Gitbox along the Guitar Craft principles set down by King Crimson guitar legend Robert Fripp. Hawes had attended Fripp’s Guitar Craft Seminars at Claymont School in West Virginia, and helped to organize the only New Zealand Guitar Craft seminar.</span><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',Chicago,Sans-serif,cursive;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;"> </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',Chicago,Sans-serif,cursive; font-size: 9pt;">“Guitar Craft, <i><u>very</u></i> simply put, uses music as a vehicle for personal growth and discovery.”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',Chicago,Sans-serif,cursive; font-size: 9pt;">Her compositions have been used as a soundtrack for the hand-painted animated frames created by sister Janie who has an animation company in Sweden. The film has been on release at festivals around Europe. Hawes has two other sisters, Louise an author, and Helen an artist who uses painting and drawing as part of a therapeutic and counselling techniques.<br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',Chicago,Sans-serif,cursive; font-size: 9pt;">Studying voice as a tool for healing, balance and growth, under Ruth Weimar and Isabella Bates over the last 17 years, the New Zealand-based member of this creative quartet conducts her own music, voice and movement sessions. She sometimes uses techniques from these teachers as well as many others found, borrowed, or created. She also shares her music and movement classes with people who have cognitive and perceptive as well as physical disabilities.<br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',Chicago,Sans-serif,cursive; font-size: 9pt;">Quietly spoken, Hawes downplays her own guitar playing abilities.“I never pretended to be a guitar player. I’m a singer, but as I wrote songs and music for theatre pieces, I’d end up playing them. I got better because I had to. “Her original pieces and clear vibrant singing have enhanced recent <a href="http://masseynews-dev.massey.ac.nz/2004/Massey_News/mar/mar08/stories/07-03-04.html">Summer Shakespeare Productions</a> <a href="http://masseynews.massey.ac.nz/2003/masseynews/mar/mar24/stories/summer_shake.html">The Tempest</a>, Comedy of Errors and <a href="http://masseynews.massey.ac.nz/2005/Massey_News/issue-02/stories/02-02-05.html">Twelfth Night</a>, as well as productions written by <a href="http://ems.massey.ac.nz/staff/Farrow.htm">Massey’s Angie Farrow</a>. Paradise, the title track on the CD was written for <a href="http://www.playmarket.org.nz/about_profiles.php?id=172&l=F">Farrow’s</a> play of the same name. <br />
Another track, Metamorphosis was composed to accompany <a href="http://www.playmarket.org.nz/about_profiles.php?id=172&l=F">Farrow’s play After Kafka</a>. There are ongoing contributions the musician makes to Massey’s annual Festival of New Arts, and the School of English and Media Studies Creative Processes course.<br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',Chicago,Sans-serif,cursive; font-size: 9pt;">Recorded at The Stomach, Pryde Recording Studio, and at Progressive Studios, the musician’s guest list includes <a href="http://www.nigelgavin.com/">Nigel Gavin</a>, <a href="http://events.massey.ac.nz/default.asp?vb=m&cbaction=filter&group=0&wellington=4&d=7&m=7&y=2004">James Tait-Jamieson</a>, <a href="http://www.myspace.com/kaneparsons">Kane Parsons</a>, Bruce Sinclair, Kyle McDonald and Richard Ellis.</span><br />

It also needs a willingness to be naked, imperfect and playful (and shameless). Be ready for some experiments to begin to find that place where you are available using song, sound, and movement. It is not about finding this place every time, it <u>is</u> about trying.</span>Suzyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11501341130632315580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134084811197575756.post-88292404773056608162010-01-25T18:05:00.011+13:002010-01-25T21:18:40.256+13:00Composing<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',Chicago,Sans-serif,cursive; font-size: 9pt;">Composing music for theatre, for film, for specific occasions, for myself; what a way to dive into the mystery of being alive! It is a wonderful tool for exploring what connects us and sometimes, a chart or at least a portal to an inner life. Layering sound to produce a magical whole, I am a magician.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',Chicago,Sans-serif,cursive; font-size: 9pt;">I have wetted my appetite on four <a href="http://masseynews-dev.massey.ac.nz/2004/Massey_News/mar/mar08/stories/07-03-04.html">Summer Shakespeare Productions</a>, and seven seasons of <a href="http://www.manawatunz.co.nz/Pages/Events/2241.php?PHPSESSID=5046a18338f8dbb007">The Manawatu Festival of New Arts</a> (writing and adapting music for individual plays therein, as well as connnecting pieces of music).

<span style="font-family: Arial;">The Universe is alive with gifts, and just the right one is waiting for you! In the rush of our daily lives we often miss these messages from a deeper place and though we race to the gym and exercise our bodies, the muscles of our intuition, have been sorely neglected. The more you slow down and listen and the more you play, the stronger these muscles become. At Geryunant you will have all the time and space you need to listen and play. Together in a small non threatening group,a right and wrong free zone, you will play with words, images, music, and animation to effortlessly and joyfully unpack the goodies waiting for you.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">We are four sisters who come from all around the world, and each though far away has followed a path of using the arts to bring themselves and others more fully alive! Come write with Louise, draw with Helen, sing with Suzy, and put it all together in an animated film with Janie. We celebrate the legacy and continue the path of our Mother, Isabel, and Father, Maurice.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
