Come and witness (and maybe even participate) as brilliant songwriter Kings and producer Rory Noble create, craft and perform an original song, sharing their process with the audience. Blind-drawing a musical genre and phrase, as suggested by audience members, over the next 60 minutes they write the melody, lyrics and structure of the new song – who knows, volunteers might be dragged onstage to form a doo-wop chorus, or to handclap the beats. A unique opportunity for performing taonga to generously open the curtains to a writing process that few audience members will ever have the privilege to see.
