Toi Staff for the production courses.
Paul Tozer - Production Coordinator and Year One Dean.
Tony Toufexis - Teaching and Resources Technician and course kaumatua.
Paul does an invaluable job bringing together the students and logistics on Toi Whakaari productions. The students have a lot of autonomy in their roles and Paul and other staff also mentor and coach through the process.
Paul graduated from Toi Whakaari’s Diploma of Entertainment Technology course in 2007.
Tony works about a third with staff, a third with production students and a third with design students as they use technical resources for their classes, assignment, the productions and also for their independent practice. Tony also engages with the Te Whaea the building managers and the School of Dance our ‘flatmates’. He is very good at seeing gaps in the way the students are learning and is an invaluable sounding board for the teaching staff and students alike.
Paul and Tony in one of the weekly school wide Koiwi sessions - Paul sitting next to Annie Ruth who was the guest director for the term 4 production. Annie spent 13 years leading Toi Whakaari so it was great to have her back in the building.
