Word-Up Wānanga with Trixi Rosa, Rosanna Raymond and friends

Calling all young performers, musicians, singers, rappers, poets and spoken word artists! Corban Estate Arts Centre is thrilled to offer a group of budding artists the opportunity to partake in the first-ever Word-Up Wānanga.

Over a dedicated weekend on-site, you will work collaboratively with a group of renowned artist mentors to develop your creative practice, creative writing, and performance skills.

Learning from some of these masters in the industry, the group will gain the tools and inspiration to develop a spoken word poem, song, rap, or creative performance with confidence. Concluding in a public performance night, Word-Up Walks, participants will have the opportunity to share their art and performance onstage.

Apply for a place by telling us about your goals, dreams, and creative work.
