What to do

You will select an item from a discipline of Te Ao Haka and perform it from start to finish in a competition setting. The performance will be assessed during the competition. 

This Assessment Activity will capture some of the teaching and learning which sits behind the assessment. You will not be assessed for any of the preparation, research or rehearsals before the assessment itself. The evidence for this Achievement Standard is based solely on your performance.

Part 1

You will be part of a group performing in a Te Ao Haka competition.

You may decide as a group what pieces you are going to perform or these may be chosen for you.

You will select which discipline you would like to have assessed at a competition. Make sure you have a clear understanding of the style of the discipline.

If you can find videos of other performances, watch them and take note of how the performers convey the style of the disciplines they are performing.

Part 2

Whakaharatau, whakaharatau, whakaharatau! 

Rehearse your performance. Wānanga with your group to solve problems and work out how to enhance your performance. Think about how you are working in collaboration with your group and how your personal performance fits into the performance as a whole.

Practise maintaining energy, commitment and accuracy throughout the item. Work with your group to create a performance that will be engaging to watch.
