Rodney Bane

A highly competent and serious all-rounder. Fast, efficient and honest! I'm a:

• graphic designer/Mac operator
• actor/theatre practitioner
• travel broker.

Graphic designer/Mac operator

I'm a computer graphic designer/Mac operator with many years' experience and a varied portfolio.

Work has included conference papers, book layout and design, children's books, advertising layout, annual reports, brochures, flyers, menus, posters and programmes.

Actor/theatre practitioner

I've been heavily involved in Wellington theatre since arriving in New Zealand in the early 1970s.

I'm co-founder of the original BATS Theatre whose varied work covered the classics to innovative and creative work which involved people such as Gary Henderson, Andrew Foster, Kerry Fox and Jennifer Ward-Lealand. This laid the ground for the professional BATS theatre now celebrating its 20th year.

I'm still actively involved in a variety of capacities being a director of the highly successful Kapitall Kids Theatre, which provides work for professional actors, technicians and other practitioners, and Backyard Productions which started regular productions in 2005.

I've appeared in many stage productions, as well as on Television: 'Freaky', 'The Beginners' Guide to Love' and 'The Killian Curse' amongst others. I've also featured in five short films, as well as training videos and The Lord of the Rings. I've directed a wide range of plays of different genres for Wellington Repertory, Stagecraft Theatre, Backyard Productions and Kapitall Kids Theatre. Check out my full CV.

Travel broker

I'm highly experienced, having been in the industry for over 20 years. You can benefit from that accumulated experience and ongoing activity. I'm a fellow of the New Zealand Institute of Travel and Tourism.
