SHOKUNIN MARKETING

Contemporary. Maori. Art. Words you were (I was) not used to associating. Hatupatu will help change your perspective and your expectations. "Kurungaituku : A Forbidden Love" is a story of survival and love between the young Te Arawa warrior Hatupatu and the unique bird woman that is Kurungaituku. Above everything else, it is an awe-inspiring combination of breathtaking aerials and heartwarming kapa haka in an immersive multi-media performance environment. Based on the Te Arawa kōrero of Hatupatu and the bird woman, this thrilling aerial production by Taki Rua will envelop you in a one of a kind experience that evokes the forests and thermal forces of Rotorua. The idea of developing theatre works through a distinctively Māori lens and contributing to the narrative of theatre and te whare tapere is a uniquely New Zealander story. I encourage all, locals and tourists, young and above, to experience what it feels like. Through building common roots and a shared vision fo the world and its legends, we are building the Aotearoa New Zealand we want to leave to our children. Don't miss your chance to be enlightened. If you do not feel an extreme urge to learn Te Reo Maori after attending the show, you may be left with having to learn French as a punishment. Run to @Qtheatre before Friday.

Last year I contributed to the first Asia-inspired WARC global guide on Creating Cultural Advantage (piece on demand for those who are not yet subscribers to WARC :-)).

I will be taking part in a FREE webinar roundtable on 6 Feb, from 5-6PM SGT (10 PM Auckland/ 10 AM Paris/ 3 AM Guatemala City - sorry guys).
