Matariki for Tamariki - Ngā Tamariki o Ngā Mata Ariki

Discover the magic of dance as the New Zealand Dance Company returns with their beautiful performance of Matariki for Tamariki.

From the twinkling whetū (stars), to the rustling leaves in the ngahere (forests), the mighty maunga (mountains), to the crashing waves of the majestic moana (ocean), watch and learn about the significance of the Māori New Year through storytelling, dance and song.

Following the performance, a 45-minute workshop will see tamariki use their bodies and voices and be immersed into the magic of Matariki – enjoying the freedom of dancing with the play of imagination!

Early bird tickets have now sold out. All remaining tickets will be released to the public from 12 pm, Friday 9 October.

Recommended for children 3 - 12 years old.
