A season of whakaari powered by rangatahi

Rangatahi Season 2024

We're on the lookout for Māori creatives

Rangatahi Season 2023 has just wrapped and we are on the lookout for our next cohort! Could that be you?! Do you have a live performance piece you’ve been wanting to stage and need the tools and help to get it up? Te Pou Theatre’s Rangatahi season could be the perfect opportunity!

We’re looking for rangatahi who are keen to learn the nitty gritty in producing so that they can present a short season of work in November 2024. We welcome rangatahi across all live performance artforms to apply.

Some key details:

Artists can apply to stage their show, and learn all stages of production, starting with the producing mentorship from June 2024.

Each whakaari will be given a week in Tāhū Studio to present a live performance work to audiences (minimum amount of performances are yet to be confirmed, in 2023 each whakaari presented 5 shows).

Rehearsal space is based on availability, but you will be provided with the equivalent of 1 week in the rehearsal room to put up your show. The teams will need to negotiate the use of the studio room and hui room for rehearsals over this period.

Recipients will be supported with guidance from Te Pou mentors and resources, but they will need to apply for additional funding, create a timeline and be supported to learn what is required to stage a production.

Recipients will have frequent check-ins and are invited to join Te Pou Whakapuāwai classes throughout the year. Ideally the lead producer for any of the rangatahi teams would aim to attend any Whakapuāwai workshops/wananga related to producing.

This programme is intended to be low-risk, it is an opportunity firstly to learn about what it takes to produce and stage a live show. We welcome projects that test ideas and play with a concept. Mistakes are welcome.

There will be a fee of 3k for each show and will be run on a shared risk model. The more tickets you sell, the more pūtea you make.
