  • This Online Version of the Thesis Uses Different Fonts from the Printed Version Held in Griffith University Library, and the Pagination Is Slightly Different
    NOTE: This online version of the thesis uses different fonts from the printed version held in Griffith University Library, and the pagination is slightly different. The content is otherwise exactly the same. Journeys into a Third Space A study of how theatre enables us to interpret the emergent space between cultures Janinka Greenwood M.A., Dip Ed, Dip Tchg, Dip TESL This thesis is submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 1999 Statement This work has not been previously submitted for a degree or diploma in any university, To the best of my knowledge and belief, the thesis contains no material previously published or written by another person except where due reference is made in the thesis itself. Janinka Greenwood 17 December 1999 Acknowledgments Thanks are due to a number of people who have given me support and encouragement in completing this thesis. Firstly I am very grateful for the sustained encouragement and scholarly challenges given by my principal supervisor Associate Professor John O’Toole and also by my co-supervisor Dr Philip Taylor. I appreciate not only their breadth of knowledge in the field of drama, but also their courageous entry into a territory of cultural differences and their insistence that I make explicit cultural concepts that I had previously taken for granted. I am grateful also to Professor Ranginui Walker who, at a stage of the research when I felt the distance between Australia and New Zealand, consented to “look over my shoulder”. Secondly, my sincere thanks go to all those who shared information, ideas and enthusiasms with me during the interviews that are reported in this thesis and to the student teachers who explored with me the drama project that forms the final stage of the study.

It thus contributes to the growing body of critical analysis of the theatre Aotearoa/New Zealand, and to an overall picture of Pākehā New Zealander cultural identity. The researcher‘s experience of being Pākehā has formed the lens through which these performance works are viewed.

  • Rituals of the New Zealand Maori
    New Zealand Māori Marae Rituals applied to Theatre Jane Boston in conversation with Annie Ruth to discuss how the social improvisatory framework of encounters on the marae (Maori meeting place) can teach theatre practitioners a great deal about meeting and connecting with audiences. The combination of structure and improvisation, aligned to clarity around role and purpose, can shift the paradigm of the encounter. This event took place at Central School of Speech & Drama on 25 October 2011. Improvisation and structure Karanga (0.00 – 1.57) Tena koutou, tena koutou, tena koutou katoa Welcome, thrice welcome Kō te ipu kawe korero e poipoi ne May the pitcher of our talk nourish us Te kaupapa o te wā With the processes that we share Haria mai ra ngā kotou kete kōreo Bring out the baskets to fill with our mutual talk.

Māori Members and the Use of Māori Language in the New Zealand Houses of Representatives Abstract As the 21st century advances, the Māori language (te reo Māori) has remained the primary language of the marae ātea, the bounded space usually positioned in front of the meeting house of a marae complex (Te Puni Kōkiri 2008: 31). Important language components of the rituals of encounter carried out on the marae ātea are also used for similar ritualistic purposes in the Parliamentary debating chamber. These shared language components have been able to survive, in Parliament, throughout 142 years of Māori representation. In fact it appears that the language used in both types of spaces has enabled the formation of an important linguistic and performative framework that has fostered the survival of Māori collective memory as well as Māori political participation.

  • Verbatim and Māori Theatre Techniques
    Verbatim and Māori Theatre Techniques: Documenting People’s Experiences of Hauora Francis Kewene An thesis submitted for a Masters in Arts at the University of Otago, Dunedin New Zealand June 2016 i Karakia Whakataka te hau ki te uru, Whakataka te hau ki te tonga. Kia mākinakina ki uta, Kia mātaratara ki tai. E hī ake ana te atakura He tio, he huka, he hauhū. Haumi e! Hui e! Tāiki e!1 Get ready for the westerly, And prepare for the southerly. It will be icy cold inland, And icy cold on the shore. May the dawn rise red-tipped on ice, And snow, on frost. Join! Gather! Intertwine! 1 Karakia was first published in Māori Mementos, by Charles Davis in 1855. Retrieved 29th April from http://folksong.org.nz/whakataka_te_hau/ ii Abstract The theatrical review group Maranga Mai, emerging out of the political unrest of the 1970s, used drama to challenge New Zealand’s ideology of one people and dispel the myth that Māori and Pākehā2 (a person of predominantly European descent) lived in racial utopia. Maranga Mai used agit-prop theatre to dramatise Māori grievances and struggles against Pākehā hegemony, which were seen as a direct threat to Pākehā definitions of reality (Potiki “Whatungarongaro” 62). Despite the amateur nature of these early Māori theatre groups, it was the power of these Māori-centred stories being told by Maranga Mai that caused social disruption at the time (Walker 226). Looking to Māori activism, through theatre, in the 1970s, and the development of Marae theatre in the 1980s and 90s has been pivotal in considering how I might use theatre to address the current health inequities that exist between Māori and non- Māori in Aotearoa New Zealand.

    Tensions and Possibilities The Interplay of ‘Traditional’ Cultural Elements and the Creation of ‘Contemporary’ Rapanui, Māori and Samoan diasporic Theatre He Moto, He Koa Te Hakapiri o te Haka Ara e te Api ki te Aŋa o te A‘amu Api ki Rapanui, Māori e ko Sāmoa Tensiones y Posibilidades La Integración de Elementos Culturales ‘Tradicionales’ en la Creación ‘Contemporánea’ de Teatro Rapanui, Māori y diasporico Samoano Moira Sofia Fortin Cornejo A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Victoria University of Wellington 2016 Abstract This thesis focuses on notions of ‘traditional’ and ‘contemporary’ theatre in two Pacific Island contexts, Aotearoa and Rapa Nui. It explores how notions of ‘tradition’ are imagined, recreated, and performed through the ‘contemporary’ creative arts, with a particular focus on theatre. It offers insight about culturally-situated understandings of ‘tradition’, and seeks to acknowledge diverse meanings and perceptions of theatre that exist across diverse Pacific Island cultures, languages, and epistemologies. Ideas about what constitutes ‘tradition’ have been significantly impacted by colonial histories, and that these culturally and historically situated ideas have wide-ranging implications for creative possibilities in the ‘contemporary’ performing arts. ‘Traditional’ performances are often seen as acceptable and relevant to Indigenous communities in Aotearoa and Rapa Nui, contributing to processes of cultural reclaiming and revitalisation. Although cultural continuity is a significant theme in Indigenous theatre in Aotearoa and Rapa Nui, the different emphasis placed upon notions of ‘tradition’ across these comparative contexts has led to very different artistic possibilities being available.
