This is a semester course, designed to develop the fundamental performance and research skills Māori Performing Arts. This course is structured to enable students to build skills, such as wiri, pūkana, takahi, performing, teaching and composing.
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 this semester, students will learn waiata, mōteatea, poi, mau rākau and haka from different iwi. The research of these compositions will form the foundation for our annual senior haerenga (trip) where we travel to a different iwi to learn the history and mita (dialect) in Year 11 - Year 13.
Year 10 Te Ao Haka would suit a student with a strong interest in Te Ao Māori (the Māori world), performing and kapa haka.
Students will also be working toward gaining credits from Te Ao Haka, the new Māori Performing Arts Achievement standards.
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.
