Performing Arts/Toi Whakaari

Year 7 Performing Arts/Toi Whakaari introduces learners to the elements and techniques of Dance/Kanikani and Drama/Whakaari. We investigate how elements such as role, relationships, tension and mood create attention grabbing scenes. We use techniques such as voice, body, movement and space to communicate ideas with impact/wairua.
