In this wānanga, we get into the reality of burnout in te ao kapa haka: what it is, why it happens, and when it might be time to step back.

From the pressure of intense schedules to the creative strain on kaitito, kaihaka and tutors, we have a kōrero about the real load people are carrying behind the scenes.

We also dive into the FOMO and the fear of losing momentum or missing out if you take a break.

We even ask the big pātai: Should Te Matatini be every 3 years instead of 2? What would that change?

And then… what’s the rongoā? Do we need to harden up? Work smarter? Or rethink how we operate altogether?

He kaupapa nui tēnei and we want to hear from you!
