Jo Long Theatre for the Performing Arts
At The Carver Community Cultural Center
Kahurangi is New Zealand’s only full-time Maori Dance Theatre of professional caliber to maintain a consistent presence in North America for the past thirteen years. Kahurangi was formed in 1983 to provide cultural, recreational, educational and employment opportunities for graduates of Takitimu Performing Arts School, based in Hastings, New Zealand. Since 1985, Kahurangi has presented over 2000 performances in New Zealand, Australia, China, Singapore, Mexico, India and Malaysia along with the United States of America and Canada.
A performance by Kahurangi brings to life the ihi or life force of the Maori, through the songs and dances that are part of the history and fabric of Maori life. They bridge the past and the present with genealogical chants, martial arts techniques, powerful songs and pride in being Maori.For more information visit www.kahurangi.com.
