“It’s something so unfathomably beautiful to be in a room with people who have the same passion, love and adoration... I don’t know how to explain it, it’s just life-changing.” TE ORO VISITOR FEEDBACK

We have grown Te Oro’s reputation as a destination venue for youth and community engagement, with strength in Māori and Pacific arts practice in both the traditional and contemporary art spaces. The centre is recognised within the sector as a local arts and culture venue for young emerging artists and companies to develop their skills and shows for the market. This is no small feat considering Te Oro has only been open for four short years. Whereas the first three years of operations were about the establishment of a new youth arts facility, the past year has been about building on the valuable lessons learnt. This year the centre has celebrated successes like Bradley Lane Illuminated, Te Oro Presents, Te Ara Rama Matariki Light Trail, and partnerships with organisations like Crescendo Trust of Aotearoa, Pacific Dance New Zealand, Lewis Eady Music School and Māoriland Film Festival.
Welcome
Te Oro is in its fourth year of operations and 2019 has been a year of reflection, growth and celebration; recognising what we do well and building on those strengths.
This year of growth has required us to be flexible and agile in our approach to programming and collaborations, and to embrace partnerships with youth, community and key stakeholders. The results of which have seen an increase in venue utilisation, revenue and participation. This has been achieved while staying focussed on the kaupapa set by our community in our foundation charter document; to provide free or low-cost music and arts programmes for youth aged 12-24 years. I would like to recognise the invaluable contribution of all the staff who have been with us on this journey. Petelo Esekielu, Maryanne Pearce and Pos Mavenga joined the team when we opened in 2015 and have successfully moved on this year to new and exciting opportunities. The commitment of of our staff to deliver the vision of Te Oro, establishing a highly engaged arts and culture venue in Glen Innes, is a testament to their passion for our people and local identity.

Highlights
Music tutoring Lewis Eady Music School provides one-on-one music tutoring at Te Oro. As New Zealand’s largest independent music educator, Lewis Eady Music School teaches music to students of all ages and levels across five musical instruments: keyboard, vocals, guitar, drums and ukulele. Lewis Eady Music School is based on the belief that there is no ‘one size fits all’ approach to learning, so tuition is tailored to each individual. All genres of music are taught, and teachers recognise that each student has different aspirations for their musical journey. The music programme complements a whole range of creative arts activities that run seasonally at Te Oro.

Te Ara Rama Matariki Light Trail and Te Oro Community Stage. In July, Maybury Reserve was the venue for the Te Ara Rama Matariki Light Trail, an eight-night community festival produced by Field of Dreams Trust and the Glen Innes Business Association. For seven nights of the festival, Te Oro hosted an indoor community stage, where performers showcased their talents and visitors sought comfort, warmth and refuge from the weather. Te Oro also partnered with Tāmaki Wrap to host free community raranga workshops and seed-bomb making workshops in the reception area. This project had a large leadership contingent of youth volunteers from Rakau Tautoko’s Technical Training programme and 312 Hub volunteers from Onehunga. Glen Innes local Jason Te Kare was brought on as an independent talent coordinator, stage manager and MC. He ensured a smooth running of the performers stage and ensured a mix of both local performers and professional acts from around Auckland. The level of collaboration between partner programmes continues to increase. For example: AUĒ, Te Amiorangi (Ruapotaka Marae) and Ūreia all contributed to the indoor stage performances for Te Ara Rama Matariki Light Trail in July.
