Manaaki Movement: Indigenous Dance Workshop with LMA

Manaaki Movement: Indigenous Dance Workshop

Manaaki is to care for, protect and show generosity towards others. This class invites us to explore movements that reflect Manaaki, other Te Ao Māori concepts, and the natural world. Through movement exploration, we seek to deepen our connection to self, others & our environment.

This workshop is an introduction to Māori movement, including; traditional movements, stories, wisdoms, and cultural understandings.

If you are interested in deepening your understanding of Māori culture and/or Indigenous movement or maybe you are curious about the role movement plays in Māori culture then this workshop is for you.

Manaaki Movement workshop is for all levels of movement experience and because it's on zoom you can choose when you're visible or not on screen. This is a supportive space to learn and explore.
