Kōrero Paki
Presented by Locomotive
Nau mai, haere mai! Settle in for an evening of yarn spinning and storytelling from a spontaneous tira whakaari gathered especially for NZ Improv Festival.
Hosted by Wiremu Tuhiwai (Te Āitanga a Hauiti), our performers will share true stories around a theme selected on the night and delve into their truths through improvisation.
Kōrero Paki - an arman-bro* for the whole whānau!
*It’s an improv joke, arohamai
