March 5. Gaby invited me to watch the performance of her work in progress about Harakeke, this was one of 3 works in progress that Atamira company performed, all of which were completely fabulous. Using fundamental aspects of Maoritanga intertwined with contemporary dance, it is amazing to watch the flexibility of our culture with that of the modern world, to be able to create fundamentally unique art which is underpinned by a primacy of kaupapa Maori but that which reflects this world, the world that us as Maori live in now.
