Api Taylor Performance

On Wednesday This week I along with some other students were given the opportunity to see a performance from the Poet Apirana Taylor. It was a very interesting thing to be able to see because it was unique. He shared some of his poems with us and performed with the poem. After the performance we went to a workshop that Apirana was holding. It was a really cool experience especially when we got to have a workshop from Api because he shared what he does when we creates a poem. I Enjoyed the performance, even though at times it was confusing when Api shouted at times. I liked how he always played instruments in front of us instead of having a soundtrack in the background and performing. I took some ideas about writing from the workshop that I might use later on.

Here is one of the poems that api performed for us, It's called Hinemoa's Daughter.
