February 16. Gaby invited me to join her dance company 'Atamira' for the day as she embarks on work around the process of weaving and Maori art. Shes wearing a piu-piu made by the lady in the centre photo. We spent some time learning the art of removing muka from harakeke, I went along to watch the methods and try to add to my own knowledge. It was fantastic to watch each dancer try the piu piu on and bring it to life with their movement.
