NICHOLAS ORAM 12 Hobson Circle, 3 Shore Rd, Remuera, Auckland. EMAIL:   nickoram@ihug.co.nz PHONE:   09-522-9197 I am a performance poet who writes his own material. My focus audiences are children, aged from 2 to 12 years of age. I have performed in kindergartens and schools, and to other groups of children and adults. Two of my poems are published in English anthologies. My poetry is about being a child. Performances are dramatic with humour, energy, and will challenge the audience to think. I can perform for 20-40 minutes depending on the listeners' age. As I am a full-time primary school teacher I am not available in term time unless I can be reimbursed for lost pay. During the school holidays for a performance I charge $30 for Auckland region [ie., anywhere covered by local city public transport] and $50 for outside this region. The greater cost for outside Auckland is to go towards travelling and accommodation expenses. A workshop with the performance would be an extra $20 - a workshop alone would cost the same as a performance.
