Te Pou are excited to announce the addition of Waiata Sessions to our 2023 Whakapuawai Programme! These sessions are an opportunity to come together, whakawhanaungatanga and sing a few waiata.
Waiata sessions will be light, fun, active and will hopefully leave you feeling a bit more confident with waiata māori! Guiding participants through our waiata sessions is the manu tioriori Aleesha Tia Taua. Read more about her below:
Ko Puketotara te maunga
Ko Waiti te awa
Ko Te Kawerau ā Maki te iwi
Ko Tainui te waka
Ko Tiriwa te tupuna
Ko Aleesha Tia Taua ahau.
Kia Ora e te whānau! My name is Aleesha Tia Taua and I will be running your waiata session as a part of the Whakapuāwai Programme with Te Pou.
I am currently working for my people with Te Kawerau Iwi Tiaki Trust as the Kaimahi Maatauranga but have always had a passion for performing arts and waiata. Everything from Kapa Haka to theatre to gigging, I love it all. I’m looking forward to contributing to a creative environment that promotes whakawhanaungatanga and waiata māori.
