This production explores the concepts of culture and identity and what this means for Aotearoa, featuring the powerful and imaginative ideas and words of some of Wellington’s young people. We hope this fast-paced, story-telling experience will be a catalyst for having some challenging but important conversations both with and between your students.
Following the success of 2018’s Story Studio LIVE, Capital E has spent a term working alongside students in the Hutt Valley, Wellington, and Porirua to explore their ideas of where or what ‘home’ is, and what the term ‘culture’ means to them. The creative team combined these experiences to form this season’s Story Studio LIVE narratives, synthesising the diverse stories of young people into an engaging radio show – complete with adverts and segments unique to the broadcasting tradition!
This experience has strong links to the New Zealand Curriculum through The Arts and English. Tauira will experience, consider, and respond to different forms of drama and theatre, actively engaging and interacting throughout the performance. They will see how sound, action and words are combined for a range of purposes, recognising connections between oral and visual language.
We are proud to have co-created this work with rangatahi, and hope this work will inspire the next generation of writers, actors, and creative thinkers. This unique and vibrant touring show of professional actors and technicians is an opportunity to show your students just how far their own ideas can go!
Due to the content of this performance, we recommend this show best suits students in Year 5 – 8.
