🌠 A rare chance to catch our annual tamariki show outside of kura! 🙌🏽

In partnership with The Dust Palace, we're excited to present Kua Rewa Te Aihikirīmi, a te reo Māori circus theatre show touring three venues across Tāmaki Makaurau this August 🤸🏽🤹🏽‍♀️🍦.

Usually performed exclusively for kura, this year we're opening up just THREE public performances for whānau to enjoy 🤩.

Expect a double scoop of fun, sprinkled with acrobatics, contortion, juggling laughter, and plenty of mischief. It's the perfect outing for tamariki (4-12) and their pakeke

🤩 We had the FIRST development for a new work by Amber Curreen & Tainui Tukiwaho called ‘Line Up Kaupoi’ - yeehaaaww! 🤠 Inspired by Amber’s Dad’s love for country music 🎶, the joy in coming together through line dancing 👢 with our kaumatua & rangatahi and that classic Māori humour 😉.

It was such a fun weekend, we cannot wait to see where this one goes! ✨Ngā mihi to Auckland Live for supporting this workshop. 🙏🏽

🔥 What a way to start the week 🤗. Welcoming in our second Nohonga creative resident - Raureti Ormond and his collaborators as well as our wāhine toa leading out our AKO Pia Programme.

Raureti and team have travelled from Pōneke 🌬️ and will be in Tāhū this week working on their kaupapa URUPĀ. A powerful and thought-provoking musical that delves into the dark history of colonial acquisitions in museums and the display of stolen taonga and human remains. More to come about this later in the week 🙏🏽

🙌🏽 Ānei te toko toru tapu o AKO….

We were lucky to have this thought provoking whakaari in the whare over the weekend 🙌🏽

Tautoko our Rebel Alliance whānau to tour this work and 'The Valentina' if you can 🚀

This weekend we had a phenomenal remount of 'Watching Paint Dry' at Te Pou Theatre.

The remount also gave us an opportunity to launch our Boosted NZ crowdfunding campaign to raise some funds for our 2026 touring this year of 'Watching Paint Dry' and 'The Valentina'.

If you've got the means, which we know is by no means is a given these days, we hope you will be able to support us.

We are 39% of our way there! So far but also. So near!
