Our July newsletter - Decolonising the arts: Mātauranga Māori, or is it?

five separate photos of different images depicted in TC's July newsletter: Group photos in Greece with the Acropolis in the background; a girl leaning against a rock, her hands in the air, next to a babbling brook; a solo dancer in a studio with a wood floor; Three dancers linking arms together, sitting in various poses; a group of dancers with hands up in the air, sitting on the ground and in wheelchairs, with some standing behind them, in a black and white photo.

Although July is typically a month of hibernation and waiting for the warming turn of seasons, this year Touch Compass has been busy hosting a residency with Canadian amputee dancer, Lawrence Shapiro, Aiga rehearsals, working with schools as we receive their final Matariki videos, and planning ahead for the three pieces that comprise Tuarā Wairua!
