Kaylee, Miani and Ruby chat with Bernard Mangakahia from Nexus Arts about his ‘Mana The Spirit of Polynesia’ presentation. Nexus has been touring high quality authors and performers to schools for over 35 years and are proud to be representing Bernard and many other amazing artists and performers from around Australia.
Bernard traces his family history and the culture of the Pacific Island region through story and dance. Travelling through Polynesian cultures including Native American Indian, New Zealand Maori, Hawaiian and Samoan, Bernard explores the idea of family, challenges and pride. Each culture is celebrated through breathtaking dance, music and full audience participation and Bernard ends the performance with funky modern Australian hip hop!
