Karakia Mihimihi
Karakia Mihimihi
TÄnei tÄtou;
TÄnei au, tÄnei au
Te hÅkai nei i taku tapuwae
Ko te hÅkai-nuku
Ko te hÅkai-rangi
Ko te hÅkai o tÅ tipuna a TÄne-nui-Ä-rangi
I pikitia ai
Ki te Rangi-tūhaha
Ki Tihi-i-manono
I rokohina atu rÄ
Ko Io-Matua-Kore anake
I riro iho ai
NgÄ Kete o te Wananga
Ko te Kete Tuauri
Ko te Kete Tuatea
Ko te Kete Aronui
Ka tiritiria, ka poupoua
Ki a PapatÅ«Änuku
Ka puta te ira tangata
Ki te whaiao
Ki te ao mÄrama
Tihei mauri ora!
Kei te mihi.
Ko te mihi tuarua ki a Ranginui rÄua ko Papa-tÅ«-Ä-nuku, te Ätea me te whenua.
Kei te mihi.
Ko te mihi tuatoru ki a TÄne Mahuta, ki a Tangaroa, ki a TÄwhirimÄtea, te hau i pupuhi ai te hauora ki ngÄ tÄngata katoa.
Kei te mihi.
TÄnÄ rÄ koutou ki te Ähuatanga o rÄtou, kua wehe atu rÄ ki te pÅ. Haere atu rÄ ki Tua o Paerau. E moe, e moe, e okioki ai.
Äpiti hono, Ä tÄtai hono. Te hunga mate hoki ki a rÄtou.
Äpiti hono, Ä tÄtai hono. Te hunga ora ki te hunga ora.
TÄnei he mihi manahau ki te mana whenua o Te Äti-Awa â Taranaki whÄnui ki Te Upoko-o-te-Ika. Te toki te tangatanga i te rÄ, hue hÄ, hue hÄ!
He mihi manahau ki te mana whenua o NgÄti Toa Rangatira. TÅku toa, he toa rangatira!
TÄnei he mihi nunui ki a koutou katoa. Karanga atu rÄ ki ngÄ mÄtÄwaka, ki ngÄ maunga, ki ngÄ awa o ngÄ motu nei.
Nau mai haere mai ki tÄnei rauemi hÅu e pÄ ana te toitÅ« o te ao whakaari, te ao kanikani, Ä ngÄ Toi MÄori. Ko te tumanako ko tÄnei rauemi e hÄpai ana tÄtou katoa ki te whai he huarahi tika ki te manaaki o tÅ tÄtou nei taiao, i roto i tÄtou nei mahi i te ao o ngÄ toi whakaari.
Me hÄ«koitahi tÄtou, ki te whakapakari o tÄtou nei haerenga toitÅ«, mÅ he ao hÅu mÅ mÄtou, Ä, mÅ ngÄ uri whakatipu ake nei.
Kia mÄia, kia manawanui.
NÅ reira, tÄnÄ koutou, tÄnÄ koutou, tÄnÄ tÄtou katoa.
Te whÄnau o Trick Of The Light.
Who this guide is for
This is a guide for artists and companies touring theatre in and from Aotearoa. Itâs aimed at those putting work on, rather than venues that host them, and at work going on tour rather than one-off or in-house seasons, however much of the information will be applicable beyond this.
What it will cover
This guide will help you understand and reduce the environmental impacts of touring theatre here and overseas, including emissions, waste, and environmentally harmful practices. It is structured chronologically â before tour, on tour, and post-tour â with links to articles from different disciplines as well as tools and templates, such as a materials tracker and green rider.
Whatâs here
Articles
A collection of articles by practitioners sharing their tips for sustainable practice.
Toolkit
Resources including a materials tracker, touring data collection sheet, production disposal directory and more.
This project was made possible through support from Playmarket, Tour-Makers, and Manatū Taonga Ministry for Culture & Heritage.
The guide also exists in book form, available for purchase through the Playmarket bookshop.
