Our final installment of Te Kopa Iti ā Toi video tutorials, through the Ngā Hua Toi advocacy pilot project, has just been released!
Pass the Mic - a panel session with our Māori creative whānau.
2020 was an unusual time for creatives around the world, including Māori independent artists in Aoteaora.
Tune in as we premiere this kōrero with our talented independent practitioners:
Contemporary & Crazy Horse Paris burlesque dancer - Paige Shand
Playwright & composer with Mahi Mahi Productions Limited - Hōhepa Waitoa
Graduate student from Toi Whakaari: NZ Drama School - Shanaia Boutsady
These trail blazers discuss how COVID-19 has re-shaped their world (or not) as a creative, discuss their creative process, their biggest turn ons in performing arts and what their visions are for the future our industry.
This kōrero is hosted by Hone Kouka, Artistic Director of Kia Mau Festival and co-founder of Tawata Productions.
This kōrero was filmed in November 2020 under Alert Level 1 guidelines. This video is aproximately 1 hour long.
