Artist:
Kahurangi Maori Dance Theatre of New Zealand

Description:

Boldly entertaining, the Kahurangi Maori Dance Theatre presents traditional culture, music and dance dating back to 900 AD, when the Maoris' first migration through Polynesia took them from Hawaiki to New Zealand. These professional artists share energetic songs and dances, wearing beautiful hand-crafted grass and beaded clothing from New Zealand, Tahiti, Hawaii, Samoa and the Cook Islands. Their program sparkles with narrations for each island, plenty of audience participation, healthy doses of humor and a question/answer session. The 6-8 member touring Kahurangi ensemble, New Zealand's only full time professional Maori dance company, travels throughout the Pacific, Europe and North America, appearing at festivals, museums, conferences and schools.
