01Te Ao Haka: Performance, Composition and Analysis
Domain 1, Te Ao Haka, tests how confidently you read haka as a complete performance system: composition choices, performance execution and critical analysis. You must connect text, action, sound and context rather than describe one element in isolation.
311 words, about 2 min02Whakapapa and Kōrero Tuku Iho
Domain 2 examines whakapapa and kōrero tuku iho as living frameworks for haka: origins, tribal histories and narrative authority. You must use genealogy and oral narrative to explain why a haka exists and what it carries, not merely retell a story.
331 words, about 2 min03Te Reo Māori and Poetics
Domain 3 tests te reo Māori and poetics: how language makes meaning in haka through imagery, idiom, rhythm and compositional convention. You need close analysis of wording and sound, linked to kaupapa rather than a list of devices.
299 words, about 1 min04Te Ao Māori Context and Tikanga
Domain 4 tests te ao Māori context and tikanga: the protocols, relationships and critical questions that make haka performance ethical and culturally located. You must show how context shapes what can be performed, by whom, where and why.
