Kopu-Wai, the Dog Head Man

Room 15 has read a variety of Maori myths and legends. We have decided to make costumes for the characters of Kopu-Wai, the Dog Head Man for our Wearable Arts evening.  However, we have decided that we would like to write a Taniwha into the story, to make it more interesting! So the characters in the story are: Kopy-Wai (the Dog Head Man), Kaia-Mio (the beautiful girl who gets kidnapped by Kopu-Wai), five vicious two-headed dogs (who live with kopu-Wai), a group of villagers, and a Taniwha.
We are looking forward to start making our wearable art items. We have lots of interesting ideas for showing through art what the characters are like.

Poetry

Circus inside a dog’s body The nerves are like scribbles on paper as they enter the arena. The brain is bogging to the beat of the ear drum. Lungs pump up balloons. Eyes glare at the target, hoping to win a prize. Bones tango about. As the balloons inflate the tail bone waves goodbye. by JEG
