Autaia: blend of kapa haka, theatre for rangatahi

From First Up, 5:20 am on 27 September 2022

Haka Theatre returns to Tamaki Makaurau's Aotea Centre - rangatahi from 8 schools across the region will be presenting original works on stage. Kura Te Ua has pioneered this unique blend of kapa haka and contemporary performance arts and created the show called "Autaia". Nathan Rarere asked her to describe how Haka Theatre differs from the Kapa Haka we might normally recognise.
