What an opportunity right on your doorstep....

Work with Te Rākau Theatre, Aotearoa New Zealand’s longest surviving independent Māori theatre company with Jim Moriarty MNZM, Kaitohu (Director) & Kaihuawaere (facilitator) along with Helen Pearse-Otene MA, PhD, Kaituhi (writer) & Kaihuawaere (facilitator).

This wānanga is suitable for all sectors and will explore the kaupapa of Te Rākau's play The Swing by Helen Pearse-Otene and their approach to creating through a mātauranga Māori lens and connection to mana whenua.

The wānanga held last week in Ōtautahi was a great success...
