Welcome
Kahuwera te Maunga
Mōkau te awa
Ngatamahine te wahi Tipu
Taiororua ngā puke i tipu
I grew up in the King Country,
by a mountain named Kahuwera
near the Mōkau river in the Ngatamahine Valley.
I was nurtured in those rolling hills.
John G Davies
Through plays, opera, masked dance, theatrical performance, songs and theatre magic I have sought to express the joy, pain, and beauty of being human.
As a practitioner within the context of Aotearoa New Zealand, my work has taken on a specific cultural expression.
I am a theater artist of my time and place.
