Ihimaera
Television (Excerpts) – 2011
Charlotte Yates produced Ihimaera Live for the 2011 Auckland Arts Festival. The concert featured lyrics especially written by author Witi Ihimaera, set to music by 12 New Zealand composers and 55 musicians. This short documentary for Māori Television includes clips of the performances at Manukau's Events Centre, and interviews with Ihimaera and musicians Warren Maxwell, Horomona Horo and Waimihi Hotere as they search for the rhythm of word and sound. Yates and director Lala Rolls also collaborated on Tuwhare, which documented a musical tribute to Hone Tuwhare.
It's taken me somewhere else, somewhere I've never been before. And I like being taken to other places.– Witi Ihimaera in a 26 February 2011 NZ Herald preview of the show, by William Dart
