Abstract

In the village of Moana’s ancestors, leaders are made. They are warriors, armed with creativity and bravery; alofa and reciprocity. They are born to serve their people. As Moana starts University she is called to lead her family, but what does it mean to Lead in South Auckland? Alofa. Bravery. Rugby. Fagogo. Reciprocity. Community. Tauolunga. Faikava. Education. Social Media. Family. Creativity. What does leadership mean to you? And who are the leaders in your life? Southside Rise brings together 60 young leaders from 8 South Auckland schools in an all-singing, all-dancing, full scale original musical production that answers these questions. Watch the young leaders of South Auckland as they are called to lead. They are called to serve. They are called to Rise.
