Tokiofa Arts Academy Showcase
Proudly presented by Three Star Nation
In celebration of Niue Language Week 2024 and the 50-year anniversary of Pulefakamotu,
Join us for a historic two-night showcase from New Zealand's very first Niue Performing Arts Academy, proudly brought to you by Three Star Nation. The Tokiofa Arts Academy by Three Star Nation is proudly sponsored by the Ministry of Pacific Peoples and delivered in partnership with the Hakupu Atua Trust Board. This event will highlight the rich cultural heritage of Niue through an array of performances that showcase traditional and contemporary music, dance, and storytelling.
Set during Niue Language Week, the showcase celebrates the resilience of Tagata Niue and the vibrancy of Vagahau Niue (Niue language) and Agafakamotu Niue (Niue culture). Audiences will be treated to an immersive experience, as the performers, trained by a passionate team of accomplished Niue Arts practitioners, share their unique stories and talents, reviving taoga (treasures) passed down through generations.
This landmark event marks a new era for Niue performing arts and provides a platform for the next generation of artists to shine. Don’t miss the opportunity to witness this exciting moment in the cultural history of the Niue diaspora!
