Whare tapere

Whare Tapere are pā-village based "houses" of storytelling, dance, games, music and other forms of entertainment. They were once a ubiquitous feature in pre-contact tribal Māori society of New Zealand. Whare Tapere were events held by Māori tribal communities for the purposes of entertainment.

Origins, the Whare Tapere in Hawaiki

The origins of the whare tapere can be found in ancient Polynesia. The story of the enmity between Tinirau and Kae, ancient Hawaiki figures, refers to the very first whare tapere.

The Whare Tapere in Iwi (Tribal) History

The whare tapere appears in many iwi (tribal) traditions.

The Whare Tapere Today

In 1998, Te Ahukaramū Charles Royal completed a doctoral study on the whare tapere, exploring both the historical form and presenting a model for a new form.

In 2004, he established Ōrotokare: Art, Story, Motion Trust to further ideas expressed in his doctoral study and to establish the modern whare tapere.

Between 2010 and 2014, Royal, together with Ōrotokare: Art, Story, Motion Trust together with Te Whānau-a-Haunui (Royal's family located at Waimangō Point on the Firth of Thames) created four experimental whare tapere.
