”Start where you are. One kupu. One messy paragraph. It doesn’t need to be perfect - it just needs to exist.”
Writing in te reo Māori can feel daunting, especially if you’re still learning. In this new resource, Tainui Tukiwaho and Hōhepa Waitoa reflect on their kaupapa: what’s worked, what’s challenged them, and what continues to evolve in their practice as storytellers grounded in te reo Māori and te ao Māori. It’s a rich kōrero, drawn from rehearsal rooms, writing spaces and wharenui. Start to shape the way you think about story, audience, responsibility and craft.
