Ranginui and Papatūanuku - The Māori Creation Story

“Every culture has its traditions about how the world was created. Māori have many of them, but the most important stories are those that tell how darkness became light, nothing became something, earth and sky were separated, and nature evolved.”

Tell the Māori Creation Story through dance and narration with our brand new Footsteps school concert theme: Ranginui and Papatūanuku - The Māori Creation Story.

Working alongside a cultural advisor, we have weaved Kapa Haka, Contemporary and Hip Hop dance styles together to portray the themes, emotions and ideas of the Māori Creation Story. Music used is a variety of traditional, modern and Te reo Waiata’s that honours the Māori culture and engages both performer and audience!

This story can be used by all schools regardless of size, as we are able to adapt the number of dances to fit your school’s needs!
