Te Whanau a Hinerupe say the marine ecology is already in “crisis” and a proposal to build a barging facility at the mouth of the Karakatuwhero River will send it beyond a state of repair. Whanau say they are not just tangata whenua (people of the land) but also tangata moana (people of the ocean), and they must be the voice for that which cannot speak for itself. About 30 people attended a hui at Hinerupe Marae in Te Araroa on Sunday and voted to “reaffirm” Te Whanau a Hinerupe’s stance of “total opposition” to a barging facility on the East Coast between Potikirua and Whangaokeno. VOICE FOR THAT WHICH CANNOT SPEAK: They called for an end to the barge Te Whanau a Hinerupe reaffirmed their stance against a proposed barging proposal and set down August 14 as a facility on the East Coast at a hui on Sunday.

  • Critical Response
    Critical response Specific learning outcomes Students will: • discuss and evaluate key ideas in this play. • make critical judgements about the performance of acting roles and the use of technologies in the production. [These learning outcomes relate to the Communication and Interpreting in Drama (CI) and Understanding Drama in Context (UC) strands in The Arts in the New Zealand Curriculum.] Contemporary Māori theatre Haruru Mai, Purapurawhetu, Woman Far Walking, Nga Tangata Toa, and Waiora are all contemporary New Zealand works with a Māori or bicultural focus. Contemporary Māori theatre has been growing since the 1960s. Nurtured by organisations such as Toi Whakaari New Zealand Drama School and Playmarket, as well as established practitioners such as Rowley Habib and Don Selwyn, Māori playwrights and actors began working together to present Māori stories and images on stage. Hone Kouka, Briar Grace-Smith, and other Māori playwrights are making a major contribution to theatre with plays such as Waiora and Purapurawhetu. Taki Rua are the leading producers of Māori theatre. Taki Rua's core work is: • producing, touring, and promoting theatre works in both Te Reo Māori and English • developing the Māori theatre workforce by providing professional development opportunities to emerging Māori theatre directors, playwrights, and performers. Taki Rua aims to produce indigenous and new New Zealand theatre and present it to the widest possible Māori and tau iwi audience. As new local Māori and Pasifika works begin to make their mark on the local theatre scene, companies like ATC are beginning to see the need to support this kind of work. They are becoming more willing to overcome the risks associated with putting on new work in order for these stories to get a voice.
