Year 13 English in Aotearoa: Visit with Tanea Heke

Tanea Heke – the tumuaki/director of Toi Whakaari: New Zealand Drama School – very generously gave her time to visit the year 13 English in Aotearoa class. She came to talk about Cousins, the film the class has been studying this year. Tanea Heke played the present day version of the main character, Mata Pairama, and spoke to the class about different aspects of her interpretation of the character, her own personal history – and also shared some fun film industry insights!

A lovely opportunity to connect with the people in our community!
