HAKA

The experience

  1. Discover the haka

    We begin with an introduction to its origin and meaning, and discover the elements of voice, gesture and movement that we will work on during the session.

  2. Gesture, voice and movement

    We learn the movements and expressions progressively, working the posture, voice and precision of each sequence.

  3. Build the sequence

    We put the different parts together and work on synchronization until the entire group can execute the sequence in a coordinated way.

  4. The final haka

    The group interprets the entire sequence together, integrating voice, movement and expression into a final execution.
