It is a pleasure and an honour to be invited to speak to various audiences throughout New Zealand and the world. In addition to my speaking engagements in Māori communities, it has been my pleasure to be invited to attend meetings and make presentations to various conferences both in New Zealand and, most recently, in France and Hawai'i.
I greatly enjoy the opportunity to meet with people, to share ideas with them and to explore creative possibilities. Presentations and lectures offer me an opportunity to test my ideas with other people and to see what they think from their perspective. In this way, I find myself refining and challenging my own thinking. So please feel free to contact me if I can assist your gathering. The topics I am pleased to speak about arise from my research and creative activities and include:
-
traditional Māori performing arts including
mōteatea and
te whare tapere
-
the creative potential of mātauranga Māori or traditional Māori knowledge
-
indigenous knowledge, including researching and creating indigenous knowledge
-
Worldview, and the link to values and behaviours.
I am also delighted to present in Māori if this suits your occasion. |
