He kōrerorero ki a Meg

Ka kōrerorero mātou ki tā mātou auaha, a Meg Stuthridge, mō tōna haerenga ki ngā whakaaro nunui, ngā mātakitaki hei kaihoahoa taitamariki me tōna wheako ki ngā pūkenga whakawhiti i roto i ngā mahi auaha.

Kawea ahau ki roto i tō papamuri. He aha ngā takahanga i noho ai koe hei kaihoahoa/auaha? 

I ngā wā katoa e pakiaka ana taku papamuri ki te mokowā auaha. I taku tau whakamutunga o te kura tuarua, i pau taku wā ki te whakangungu i Joffrey Ballet i New York City i mua i taku mōhiotanga ehara te umanga mōku. I a au e whakaoti ana i Joffrey, ka kite ahau i tētahi pānui whakaahua mātao i roto i te studio, ā, i huatau taku whaea kia whakamātau ahau i taku ringa ki te hoahoa. Nā reira, i rēhita ahau ki tētahi tohu whakawhitiwhiti arokite e toru tau i Ara, ā, i te mutunga ka whiwhi ahau i tētahi tauira i Rautaki. E rua tau i muri mai, kei konei tonu ahau, ā, e aroha ana ahau!

He aha tāu e tino pai ai ki te mahi i Strategy?

Ko te momo, he pono. He tino pai ki a au te whakataurite i waenga i te moemoeā i ngā whakaaro nunui me te mahi i ngā toa iti me ngā mahi arotahi hoahoa. He maha ngā pōtae e mau ana ahau - he pūkenga. Waihoki, ko ngā momo pakihi e mahi tahi ana mātou ka tino whakamere i ngā mea.

He aha tētahi kupu ka whakamahia e koe hei whakaahua i a koe i roto i tō tūranga, he aha hoki?

Kāore au i te mōhio he aha tēnei kupu i puta hāngai mai ai ki te hinengaro, engari, 'pōauau'. Ka whakaahua ahau i a au he pōauau i roto i taku whakaaro me te nuinga o te wā, he tangata. E aroha ana ahau ki tēnā, nā te mea ko te tikanga kāore au e pupuri i a au - ka tukua e au tōku hinengaro kia haere ki ngā wāhi katoa e hiahiatia ana. Ki te kore tērā, kāore au e whakaaro ka taea e au taku mahi.

Me pēhea koe e kimi ai i tō whakaaro?

Ko te whakaaweawe tino pai ka puta mai ina kāore au i te kimi - i te nuinga o te wā, ina kāore au i roto i te studio. E kaha ana ahau ki te noho pākiki tonu ki te ao e karapoti ana i a au, me te whakaaro hōhonu ake ki ngā taipitopito noa iho o tōku oranga i ia rā. Hei tauira, kei taku waea tēnei pukaemi e kohikohi ana ahau i ngā whakaahua o ngā paheko tae matapōkere e puta mai ana i ahau... pēnei i te tae o taku panekoti i te taha o te waipiro e inu ana ahau. He rerekē, engari ka mahi!

Ko tēhea mahi i waihangatia e koe i Strategy e tino whakatinana ana i a koe hei Kaihoahoa, hei Auaha rānei?

Ka wehea e au tēnei pātai kia rua. 

— As a Creative, I would probably say Te Anau Time. Mō taua kaupapa, i waihangatia e mātou he rohe wā wehenga hei kawe mai i ētahi atu manuhiri i muri i te COVID-19. Ki taku whakaaro ko tēnei kaupapa e whakatinana ana i ahau i te āhua e tohe ana, e tino whakaaro ana ahau ki te pana i ngā whakaaro nunui ki ngā kiritaki me te whakarite i aua whakaaro. 

— Mai i te tirohanga a te Kaihoahoa, tērā pea me rerenga; te kaupapa tuatahi i mahi ahau i Strategy . Ko te whanaketanga o tētahi waina waro he arotahi matatika, pūmau hoki, e uru ana ahau. He pai ki a au te mutunga o te moko e whakaatu ana i tētahi tirohanga kanohi manu, e titiro ana ki raro i ngā rārangi mara waina - he ariā ngāwari i ahu hāngai mai i te rautaki.

Ki te kore koe e mahi i tō mahi i te Rautaki, kei te whakahaere koe i tētahi umanga whakaahua mārena angitu. He pēhea te āwhina a te kaiwhakaahua mārena i a koe i tō tūranga?

He nui rawa ngā pūkenga whakawhitiwhiti i roto i ngā mahi auaha, koia i tīmata ai ahau ki te whakaahua; hei āwhina i taku hoahoa. Ki taku whakaaro kua whakamīharo ahau ki te āhua me te taumahi i te wā o te tukanga auaha. He ngāwari noa iho te tāhaetanga i te āhua o ngā mea.

Ko te tino mārama ki tō kiritaki, ahakoa i roto i te whakaahua, i te ao hoahoa rānei, he kī hoki. Mā te whakarongo ki ō rātou pūwāhi mamae me ngā mea hira ki a rātou ka ahu tonu ki te mahi tino pai. Kāore e taea e koe te noho hei kaikōrero pūrākau me te kore mōhio ki tā rātou pūrākau.

Ki tōu whakaaro he aha tō wero nui rawa hei kaihoahoa rangatahi?

Ko tētahi mea i mīharo ahau ki te tūtaki i a au hei kaihoahoa taitamariki ko te uaua ki te whiwhi i te whakawhirinaki o te kiritaki. He nui rawa te wāhi o te pakeketanga i roto i ngā kōrerorero kiritaki. Ki taku whakaaro kāore he tangata e kōrero ana mō taua mea. Ko tētahi take tērā pea ka tākaro i konei ko tō taumata maia hei taitamariki auaha - e hiahia ana ki te whakahoki i a koe anō me te haere katoa.

He aha te kaupapa moemoeā hei mahi māu?

He mea pēnei i tētahi toa toa iti mō tētahi pia mahi, he wharekai iti rānei.  He kaupapa e wātea ai te kiritaki ki a koe, engari he mea hoki e hāngai ana ki ētahi whakaaro me te rautaki tino tika.

Mēnā ka taea e koe te hoatu tohutohu ki tētahi kaihoahoa taitamariki, he aha?

Aue, te kēmu whakataurite ngahau. Kua rongo katoa mātou i te miriona wā, engari he uaua pea te whakataurite i tō kaha, i tō mahi rānei ki tērā o ētahi atu, i roto i tētahi ao e āhei ana mātou ki te nui o te whakaaweawe, me te horopaki iti rawa. Ka taea e te kaihoahoa i muri i tō kaupapa makau i Instagram te 20+ tau i muri i a rātou, hei wāhanga o tētahi tīma auaha 10, me te mahi rānei me te pūtea $1 miriona. Kāore i te taurite. 

Ko tērā atu mea, kāore he tere. Te āhua nei he hinengaro i muri i te whiwhinga e hiahia ana koe ki tētahi mahi hoahoa e tatari ana ki a koe. Tangohia he tau āputa, mahi i tō mahi hokohoko ākonga, mahi i roto i te whare... i roto i te roanga o te mahi 30 tau, ehara te tokorua tuatahi i te katoa, i te mutunga-katoa.-I tēnei wā...

E hiahia ana ahau ki te reo Wīwī - Kei te whai akoranga ahau i te Alliance Française

Reading Atlas of Mid Century Modern Houses

E whakarongo ana ki a Ludovico Einaudi

Mātakitaki i te Tari (US - koia anō)

E hiahia ana ahau ki te bach i Akaroa. I muri i te kauhoe, e pānui ana i te rā, me te karaehe o Palliser Estate Pinot Noir i a Ludovico Einaudi e whakatangi ngāwari ana i a au i te papamuri.
