title: Informing supervision practice through research: A narrative inquiry

authors: Crocket, Kathie

subjects: narrative

abstract: Intention: This study focused on questions of whether and how clients benefit from supervision. As practitioner research, the study was intended to shape the researchers' own supervision practice. Method: The qualitative approach was based on interviews with a small number of experienced practitioners about their supervision experiences. The findings are presented in the form of reflexive stories, told by each researcher. Findings: In these stories the researchers tell how engagement with experienced practitioners' accounts of their past supervision shaped the hopes and intentions the researchers hold for their future supervision. Implications for practice: The stories suggest there are therapeutic benefits in an ethic of transparency that provides for practices that overtly carry stories in both directions between counselling and supervision.

title: Mark making: Asemic art

authors: Schott, Gareth R.

abstract: This set of works reflect an exploration of the expressive capacity of penmanship in a space between script and image.

They belong to the practice of 'asemic writing art’ – asemic referring to the lack of specific semantic content or meaning. As an artistic style, asemic works celebrate unhindered explorations of handwriting.

Mark Making reflects the unique style, gestures and personal visual vocabulary of the mark maker, a process that is also susceptible to inner states, muscle memory, fatigue, involuntary movements, vision blur and ink flow!

While hand-written documents possess less authority and relevance today, the tactile experience of a smooth nib glide, the satisfying weight of a pen and the aesthetic quality of ink on paper has not diminished. This collection is testament to the absorbing practice of placing marks, ticks and dots on paper until they culminate into a recognizable forms.

title: Review: Memoirs of Active Service

authors: Cheesman, Sue

subjects: Maaka Pepene

abstract: Ka maumahara tonu tatou ki a ratou - we will remember them…poignant last words…   bidding farewell to a generation of veterans moving on...leaving fragments  of memories and diaries for children/grandchildren to honour, celebrate and remember …black costumes billow, fold, swirl and wrap the dancers bodies…wide sweeping arm movements…jumps and turns…slides on all fours - provides the vehicle for five accomplished dancers to fill the space with fluidity and lyricism in this very moving finale, a lament set to Albinoni’s adagio - maybe old soldiers never die.
