Te Puni Kōkiri supported a Dunedin-based production called Oi showcasing Māori creative and performing arts.
Oi celebrates the stars Puaka and Matariki during the festivities of the Māori new year. Oi features short film, theatre and music over five performances at the Academy Cinema in Dunedin. This year Oi also hosted a community dance workshop in association with the Atamira Dance Collective, facilitated by choreographer and film-maker Louise Potiki Bryant. A physical theatre workshop was also taught by experienced actor and theatre teacher from Auckland Chris Graham.
