With the generous support of Toi Foundation, New Plymouth District Council, Tranzit Coachlines, and Methanex, Right Royal Cabaret Festival is delighted to present a schools programme designed to make the arts accessible to students across Taranaki. These performances, held during school hours with highly discounted tickets, are crafted to inspire, entertain, and educate — igniting a lifelong passion for the arts in young minds.
WHAT’S ON OFFER
Pīpī Paopao
This year, tamariki aged 3-5 get the opportunity to experience Pīpī Paopao, singing the stories and birdsong of our manu rangatira (noble birdlife) through waiata and play. The brilliant Rutene Spooner, musical and cabaret performer extraordinaire, employs the Māori traditions of using proverbs and metaphors of the natural world to teach and prepare our own little hatchlings, so they too may flourish and fly into a world of their own.
