The Day I Was Born – Te Rā i Whānau ai Ahau

Using “The Day I Was Born” as their prompt and launch-pad, seven BIPOC artists, writers, poets and performers each have seven minutes to explore the day they truly started to live.

Be that the actual day of their birth or the moment they felt their life truly

began, the artists will tell their stories through dance, through waiata, through story: the stage is theirs.

Arongia ana ko “Te Rā i Whānau ai Ahau” hei mea hika i te whakaaro, tokowhitu ngā uri BIPOC (He mangumangu, he iwi taketake, he kiri kakano), he ringatoi, he ringatuhi, he kaitito toikupu, he kaiwhakaataata anō, ka whai i te 7 meneti hei whakatewhatewha i te rā i ora mārika ai rātou.

Hāunga pea ko te rā pū i whānau ai rātou, ko tētahi anō wā rānei i rongo ai rātou i tīmata pū tā rātou rongo i te ora, ka whakaaturia e ngā ringatoi ā rātou kōrero mā roto mai i te kanikani, i te waiata, i te kōrero paki: nō rātou te papa.

Guest performers: Rob Mokaraka, Tusiata Avia, Rehekōrero, Sefa Tunupopo, Debra Dank, Jerry Pinto and Joshua Ip.
