Two established performing arts companies are joining forces to create a circus school for Māori youth.
It's called 'Te Kura Maninirau' and it will be showcased at a Māori Performing Arts Open Day this Saturday at Te Pou Theatre in West Auckland.
Attendees will get to see DJs, circus and acrobatic acts, live music, dance and more.
Natasha van Etten, studio manager and educator at Te Kura Maninirau talks to Jesse.
