You will create an original section of choreography for a Te Ao Haka item, using elements that reflect the kaupapa and convey the intended effect.
Part 1
Select a section from a Te Ao Haka item for which you will create original choreography. Deepen your knowledge of the kaupapa of your chosen item by doing research, or discussing the kaupapa with someone you trust, like a kaiako, whānau member, kaumātua, or friend.
You might also watch videos of your favourite Te Ao Haka items especially focusing on the choreography. As you watch, see if you can identify and describe any elements, and how they are being used. Think about how they help express the kaupapa through the choreography.
Part 2
Now that you have chosen your item and are familiar with the kaupapa, consider:
- what you want your audience to understand and feel about your chosen kaupapa when they see your choreography
- how you will communicate those moments and that understanding using elements of Te Ao Haka.
Create a first draft of your choreography that clearly reflects the kaupapa by combining a range of three or more elements. These elements should work together to strengthen and support the overall purpose of your choreography. After completing your draft, make notes describing the elements you have used, their purpose, and how they work together. Explain why this combination creates a particular effect on your music and how it might influence the audience’s response.
Part 3
You might ask someone you trust like a kaiako, whānau member, kaumātua, or friend, to share your draft. They could share what stands out to them, or what you could think more about. Use their feedback to make final changes to your choreography.
Decide if you want to perform your own choreography, or if you will teach it to others. If you are performing your own movements, begin practising them in front of a mirror or a camera, or in front of someone you trust.
If you are teaching your choreography to others, show them the movements and explain how you want the elements you have chosen to be demonstrated in the performance.
Use this time to reflect on what looks good, and what could be stronger. Are the choices you have made about your elements in relation to the kaupapa coming through clearly in the choreography? Make any final revisions to your choreography.
Your final submission should also include a written explanation alongside your original choreography. In this submission, describe the range of elements you’ve used, what each one is for, and how they work together to reflect your kaupapa and create a strong overall visual effect. Explain why you chose those particular elements. Justify your selection in relation to what you hope your audience will think or feel when they see your work.
If you choose to perform your choreography in class, consider preparing some notes to support your presentation. These notes can help you talk about the elements you’ve used, how they support your kaupapa and the intended effect of your piece.

How to present your learning
Create a section of original choreography of a Te Ao Haka item. This should be an ākonga-generated segment of choreography. Alongside your choreography, include an explanation of the elements you’ve used.
The section of choreography should be approximately 30 seconds to 1 minute long. While collaborative work is permitted, assessment will focus on the contribution of each individual ākonga. It is important that individual input is clearly identifiable within the group context. A recording of the choreography section is also required to support assessor judgements and for moderation purposes.
The explanation should be around 350 words (or 2 minutes when spoken). You may submit this as written text, an audio recording, or as part of an oral presentation in class. If you are presenting live, you or someone else will perform your choreography, and you will talk about the elements you’ve used. Explain how your chosen elements support your kaupapa and the intended effect. A recording of your presentation is still required as evidence for assessment.

Getting started
In this Assessment Activity, you will create an original section of choreography of a Te Ao Haka item, using a range of elements that reflect the kaupapa, and convey the intended effect. Examples of elements include:
- energy
- dynamics
- characterisation
- voice
- point of view.
A more extensive list of elements is available within the Subject Glossary for Te Ao Haka: https://ncea.education.govt.nz/arts/te-ao-haka?view=subject-glossary.
As you start to think about what your choreography will look like, consider the following:
- what is the kaupapa of your item, and what elements of choreography will best communicate your kaupapa?
- will you incorporate traditional or contemporary movements, rākau, patu, or poi?
- will you include formations, levels, or spatial patterns to strengthen your message?
- how can you combine these elements to create a strong and unified performance?
- how does your use of movement create an intended effect that connects to your kaupapa?
- can you justify why you chose these movements and what you want your audience to feel or understand?
