Contents: Recognising that the performing arts in Aotearoa New Zealand are structured and understood through dominantly western paradigms in this podcast we look at what ways mātauranga Māori, Māori knowledge and ways of understanding the world, can and should be recognised and reflected. In addition we explore the complexities of working with multiple cultural paradigms and histories and the risk of furthering cultural imperialism through this.
