THE SPOOKY MEN’S CHORALE SINGING WORKSHOP
ARTISTS WORKSHOPS
Singing like a bloke – for all genders! Stephen Taberner and his trusted henchmen from the Spooky Men’s Chorale will take you on a gentle, whimsical, boof-ish journey through various major components of the spooky lexicon, including how to grunt with integrity, how to sob like a real man, and how to sounds like a choir of thousands. It will be hugely enjoyable, deeply redemptive, quite loud, and utterly pointless. This session will be fun for all, especially those who haven’t sung for a long time.
MAISEY RIKA & FRIENDS
Maisey Rika shares her journey, transitioning from a traditional kapa haka performer to a contemporary Ma-ori singer-songwriter. Horomona Horo, a master taonga puoro specialist will talk about the foundations of traditional Ma-ori instruments and the different materials used to make such articulate musical pieces. Seth Haapu is a multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter and producer who will demonstrate techniques he uses to craft his sound. Joining them on stage will be Troy Kingi who has a strong kapa haka background but now is a full time artist and actor. They are fusing their different sound palettes for an experience not to be missed!
