Matepo Hepi of Tūhourangi Ngāti Wāhiao learnt and performed poi from the time he was born. His greatest inspiration and teacher was his grandmother, Nanny Pari Hepi, aka Aunty Polly. She was his example and a huge influence on his learning. His passion for Te Ao Māori (Maori worldview) has allowed his skills to flourish.
Matepo's skills are called on by many haka teams throughout Aotearoa, and he is currently living in Whakatū (Nelson), and tutoring the local kapa haka team, Kia Ngāwari.
During this workshop Matepo will share:
- How to make quality poi (yours to keep).
- The parts of the poi and their use.
- A waiata (song) to use with your poi.
- Poi actions to share with your whanau.
- Poi 101 booklet for you to take away
