This is a full year course, designed to extend the fundamental performance and research skills of Māori Performing Arts developed in Year 11. This course is structured to challenge students to explore and being creative in a Māori setting using key features and elements of Te Ao Haka.
It is expected that students in Māori Performing Arts are committed to being in Ngā Taiohi o Panuku, the kapa haka at Henderson High School.
During the year, students will learn how key features and elements of Te Ao Haka can be used together with other genres of dance and music to create items.
Each year, we have an annual senior haerenga (trip). The purpose of the haerenga is to travel to a different iwi to learn the waiata, history and mita (dialect). Students will use their experience on this haerenga to create an item, a waiata or choreograph an existing item.
Year 12 Te Ao Haka would suit a student with a strong interest in Te Ao Māori (the Māori world), performing and kapa haka.
This is also an University approved subject.
Recommended Prior Learning
We welcome all tauira who are willing to commit to kapa haka and their class work if they have not had any kapa haka experience.
