Waiheke Island 

Indigenous health and wellness workshops with the intention of developing a piece to share to the community at Artworks Theatre.

 

E Tipu E Rea launched 2021 in the Motu Matariki Festival on Waiheke Island with participants from Waiheke Highschool and Waiheke Primary School as well as members of the community. 

An outpouring response of tears, love, joy, laughter, growth and courage was reflected in the work and as such, by many requests Tūrongo will be holding a full immersion wananga in the next Spring season.
