If you have ever wanted to know why the All Blacks haka or people sing at Māori events, or if you have ever wanted to be able to confidently haka or lead a waiata, this course is a great place to start. One of the most enjoyable aspects of this course is that the class as a whole learns an entire kapa haka set, including a haka, waiata-a-ringa (songs with hand movements) and poi.MAOR282 will also teach you about significant Māori composers and leaders – those people that shaped the world of Māori performing arts and the role it plays in modern Māori society. Most of all, this paper gives you a fun and unique opportunity to experience Te Reo Māori in a rich, team based environment.MAOR282 is a dynamic paper that will suit students looking for a fun entry or seeking to build comfort and confidence to work within Te Ao Māori.

Now performed spontaneously at weddings and welcomes, how much do we know about haka’s like this as a practicality and performance?Questions considered in this course are:• What is Kapa Haka exactly, what is the history, wisdom, and how does it serves the people today and historically? • What are the aspects encompassing Māori performance and why are they used, what is the place of smiles, weapons, aggression, bulging eyes and extended tongue? • When the All blacks perform a haka, how should other teams respond, are they right to be offended at times? • Knowing a history of a performed piece, the intention and story it tells, is it ok for haka to be performed by American football teams? What does a flawed performance mean for Māori?Themes raised in this course are: • The act of putting shyness aside with warmth support in becoming a Kapa • Qualities of Māori performance, ihi, wihi, wana • Cultural Appropriation and ownership • Expressing indigenous knowledge though Performance • Haka, Poi, Waiata, Moteatea, Kanikani Course Goals• Understand the exploding world of Māori performance and the meanings and structure of common aspects. • Greater comfort in things Māori leading to better relationships with Māori • Experience the strength and exhilaration emanating from performing Kapa haka • Gain an informed opinion about cultural appropriation of things Māori
