This is an interactive show to energise and empower people of all ages (7+) and cultures, and abilities by breaking down barriers to normalise the topic of mental health, hauora/wellbeing and addiction.
Hunter delivers this show through acting, song, educational models, Te Whare Tapa Whā, visuals and humour. He does this professionally and all from a place of aroha/love.
Stories will be told from the lived experiences of the presenter and keynote speakers during the performance, and through a panel question session afterwards. The Awakening from Dark to Light is approximately 80 minutes in length, followed by a 20-30 minute question and answer component.
Hunter is now several years into his personal journey and has become a qualified youth worker. His motivation to deliver The Awakening from Dark to Light is driven by a genuine passion to make a positive impact within our communities.
