The New Zealand Dance Company: Matariki for Tamariki
Advertisement
Bring along your tamariki and celebrate Matariki with this amazing free performance Matariki for Tamariki from The New Zealand Dance Company (NZDC).
Settle in under the tanoa in Te Ao Mārama, our South Atrium, for Matariki for Tamariki, a whānau-friendly work in celebration of ritual and renewal.
Accomplished New Zealand dancer and choreographer, 2023 Arts Laureate Sean MacDonald (Ngāti Kahungunu, Ngāti Raukawa) brings to life a group of friends who journey throughout Aotearoa during the Matariki season – an annual custom that honours ongoing relationships to place and each other.
Join this band of players as they discover the landscape of lush ngahere (forests), mighty maunga (mountains), and majestic moana (oceans), while encountering flora and fauna through the seasonal change.
