Mō Hawaiki TŪ

​Hawaiki TŪ is a company of Māori Performance Practitioners from Aotearoa specialising in Haka Theatre, Kapa Haka and Māori Dance Theatre. Hawaiki TŪ is creating new and authentic Māori Performance art that reflects the wairua (spirit) of Aotearoa. The work is uniquely Māori and is inspired by the dynamic forms and principles that are contained within the art of Kapa Haka. Hawaiki TŪ was formed in 2012 as a foundation to preserve a strong basis of identity for an ongoing passion in Māori performing arts.

Performers

Produced and Directed by Kura Te Ua, the Company retains a core of production and performance personnel further augmented with the mounting of individual productions by additional technical contractors and performers.  The performers are selected from leading Kaihaka who are expert practitioners of the multiple skills employed in Haka Theatre.  The ongoing development of their performance capabilities involves an intensive physical training regime incorporating martial arts and contemporary dance to increase strength, flexibility and articulation of movement. 

Hawaiki TŪ acknowledges the aroha and generous support of whanau, friends and sponsors.
