Production Overview!

I know this overview is a bit late but I'm going to do it anyway.
On Thursday 27th of September, Kaupeka did a dance production all about the Maori myth. This myth is about 2 Gods and their 6 children. The children felt trapped so the second oldest child, Tane, came up with an idea. Tane is the God of forest and nature. The plan was to become a small seed and slip in between the parents. It took years to grow the tree and it finally pushed the parents apart. The parents became really sad and Tane created the first woman. Tane and the woman got married and they had a child.

I was the main dancer in my group called Tawhiri so I had many parts in this production.
My costume was a plain white shirt with black leggings and purple hula skirts and a black bandanna.
All the groups choreographed their own dances except the final dance which the teachers choreographed.
My favourite part about the production was practising with the people in my group and getting to know them a bit better.
Before we were going to perform in front of everyone, I was a bit nervous that I was going to forget some dance moves but when it was over, I felt proud and was also sad that it was over because it was such a fun experience. I would love to do another production like this again.

Have you ever been apart of a production?
