Public Performances
On 6 October 1973, Ivan Bootham performed an assemblage of words and piano music by Erik Satie at the Govett-Brewster Art Gallery, New Plymouth. The performance grew out of a short item he wrote for radio Five Grimaces: Erik Satie Looks at Life, which was first broadcast by the NZBC in June 1971 and repeated in August 1971
In August 2009, he provided piano accompaniment for a compilation of early films of Wellington shown at the Ngaio Town Hall, Wellington. Titled A Snapshot of Wellington 1917-1966, the programme was presented by the New Zealand Film Archive and and the Ngaio Community Association.
