This article discusses the work of Māori theatre company Te Rākau Hua o Te Wao Tapu, and its approach to decolonising theatre in Aotearoa/New Zealand through its Theatre Marae programme. First, I locate the establishment of Te Rākau and Theatre Marae as a response to Māori being excluded from mainstream theatre, then present a summary of Te Rākau’s contribution to the development of contemporary Māori theatre, theatre-in-education and applied community theatre over the past thirty years. Finally, I describe the core processes of Te Rākau’s Theatre Marae programme as an example of embedding Indigenous customs and philosophy in the ensemble as a decolonising strategy in actor training.

本文讨论了毛利人剧院公司TeRākauHua o Te Wao Tapu的工作，以及通过其剧院Marae计划将剧院定殖在新西兰Aotearoa的方法。首先，我找到建立蒂拉考和马雷剧院的做法，以应对毛利人被排除在主流剧院之外的问题，然后总结蒂拉考对当代毛利人剧院，教育剧院和整个社区中的应用社区剧院的发展做出的贡献过去三十年。最后，我以TeRākau的Theatre Marae节目的核心过程为例，以将原住民习俗和哲学纳入整体作为在演员培训中的非殖民化策略的例子。
