In this episode of Takatāpui Talk, Donald Hollingsworth sits down with dancer, choreographer and breathwork facilitator Taane Mete.

Taane shares the story of a life shaped by movement — from childhood imagination and the freedom he found in dance, to performing with some of Aotearoa’s most respected companies, exploring drag, and eventually guiding others through breathwork, yoga and healing.

This is a warm and deeply personal conversation about identity, grief, creativity, embodiment and what it means to live fully as takatāpui.

Listen as Taane reflects on the people who believed in him, the experiences that shaped him, and the importance of love, movement and connection.
