Mareikura is a community based Maori performing arts group established in May 2004. Whilst the focus of Mareikura is traditional Maori performing arts, a typical year always includes a series of social development wananga for young people, a production and a performing arts tour. Mareikura is taught and managed by a dedicated team of performers and supporters. The senior members are co-tutored by Nikora Nitro and Kaperiere Hogan whilst the intermediate and junior members are co-tutored by Jahmaine Cummings and Ana Buchanan. Members are brought together by a common desire to retain, maintain and enjoy Maori performing arts. Mareikura’s maiden performance at the Waitaha Regional Senior Competitions in 2004 gained them 3rd place overall. Shortly after the Senior Regionals the Mareikura intermediates entered the Te Waipounamu competitions that were held in Invercargill. This performance gained 1st place overall. Members consist of every major iwi from Aotearoa. Mareikura is an example of all iwi coming together to share a common vision for the development and promotion of Maoridom. Mareikura looks forward to a fruitful and prosperous future.
