From December 7 to 21, 2011, a workshop bringing together Maori, Samoan, Cook, Australian and Kanak artists and the Cornucopiae team took place at Wellington's Tapu Te Ranga Maraé.
Participants included choreographers, dancers and musicians.
A public presentation was held in Wellington on December 14, 2011.
The success of this meeting and its artistic quality will enable us to plan new exchanges based on oral transmission.
Appointments have been made with the artists for a new workshop scheduled for the end of 2012, with the prospect of involving Japanese artists met during In Situ Yokohama.
