  Dancing treasures: Icons from Te Papa

  "The students will explore personal and Te Papa 'treasures' through dance. They will create and develop motifs to represent personal 'treasures', and combine these into short movement sequences with others. Using an icon or taonga Māori from the Te Papa collection, the group will create and develop a second motif to communicate the perceived value of the treasure. The two sections of movement will then be combined into one 'treasure' dance. "
