Karanga at Q Theatre

Danielle Muller from The Village Square Trust

KARANGA is a powerful new interactive Māori contemporary dance work led by Artistic Director and award-winning choreographer Merenia Gray and co-creators Gareth Farr, Toni Huata, Mary-Lyn Chambers, Emma Mortimer, Jo Kilgour, Jeanine Clarkin, Miriama McDowell, Jason Te Kare, Luka Turjak, Tānemahuta Gray, Ariana Tikao and dancers.

Inspired by Merenia's mother; the late Tiahuia Te Puea Hērangi Ramihana Gray (Ngāi Tahu, Rangitāne, Tainui). Karanga is a dance performance in three parts choreographed by Merenia Gray. The work explores her mother's Māori and Pākehā heritage between her adopted mother/iwi and biological mother/iwi.

Merenia is the tutor of our popular The Art of Dance class and we have five of our Art of Dance performers in the work.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
