Te Kauwhata Performance Project (TKPP) is a collaborative project designed to engage people in our community who have a story to tell, who enjoy performing, or perhaps have a knack for writing, design or technology. It is an opportunity to bring people of all ages, skills and backgrounds together through creativity, to share skills, build confidence and celebrate who we are as a growing community.
The project will be delivered in three stages:
Phase 1: Story
You will see the Toi Ako Team out and about on the streets and at events in July & July 2026 to talk with the people in our community, gather memories, stories and ideas. Contributions can be anonymous but where permitted we would also like to photograph the people we interview for use in later parts of the project. We will also be connecting with people who may be interested in joining us for the next phases of the project.
Phase 2: Play
In a series of workshops through August & September we will use drama games and devising processes to explore the story ideas gathered in phase 1. As we play we will tease out pieces of work that we would like to share back to our community.
Phase 3: Production
We will shape our workshop pieces into a production, adding in elements such as props, costume, set, music, technology. We will rehearse through September and share our performance with an audience in October. The show is confirmed for Saturday 24 October at 2pm at Te Kauwhata College Hall. Entry is free but you do need to reserve a seat here.
If you enjoy the show and can leave a koha towards our expenses it would be appreciated.
Thanks to Creative Communities, Waikato District Council for the funding support.
