How to Include Tikanga Māori in Theatre with Jordan Henare

In New Zealand Aotearoa we are at a point where there is a lot of desire to live by Te Tiriti, The Treaty, but not a lot of support for creating treaty competent ideas, practices, and environments. There is also a low level of representation in the theatre community when it comes to Māori talent. It is a deeply complex issue that, socially, we have got to a point where the subject is somewhat tapu or taboo.

This workshop will be an opportunity to come forward to learn and ask, without judgment, about the Māori world (both in general and in regards to theatre). It will be a completely safe and interactive workshop for learning both general Tikanga/culture and learning how to design a show, or theater company, in a way that is inviting, safe, and respectful of Tangata Whenua Māori. This can be intimidating, the space will be made safe for all levels of learning.
