Maori Performing Arts
in Te Urupu
Manawa Mai Tawhiti is a cultural performing arts group in Perth. Our performances celebrate traditional Maori culture and provide a respite for New Zealanders who now call Perth home. If you’re interested in performing with us or booking our performing arts club for an upcoming event, contact us.
Nga Mahi Haka
Kaleidoscope World of Fashion
We most recently were invited to be apart of the Kaleidoscope World of Fashion event held at WA Museum Boola Bardip late October. It was an amazing event where creative artists, performers and talented designers came together in unity. Head over to the Kaleidoscope World of Fashion facebook page to check out some of the looks from the event.

Private Events
Over the last few weeks and heading into December we have had the pleasure of being apart of many end of year function's and have been super grateful for every opportunity it has provided us.
Perform With Us
Song, dance, and lyrics in the Maori language help us pay respect to our elders past and present. We love our home in Western Australia, and we love sharing our New Zealand heritage with our new community here.
Manawa Mai Tawhiti opens its doors to all who share this mission. Perform with us and join our beautiful community.
Celebrate With Us
Since our start in 2009, we’ve gotten to share our song and dance with so many of our new community members in WA. It is an honour and a privilege to connect people through the power of performance.
Follow us on Facebook to keep up with our performance schedule so you can experience the magic and joy we put into every song and dance.
