West Aucklander attempts to break world record in lockdown
A Fijian dance leader is attempting to break a Guinness World Record from his west Auckland home.
Heritage choreographer and artist Alipate Traill will host a livestreamed meke performance on October 4.
Meke is a traditional style of dance from Fiji, and Traill is trying to lead the biggest meke performance ever attempted for Fijian Language Week.
Up to 100 Zoom accounts will be able to join a livestream at 6pm for a practice session before the record-attempting performance begins at 7pm.
Traill said preserving Fijian history and culture with youth is a passion of his.
“Modern day Fijian kids in the urban centres of Fiji are experiencing a major loss of culture,” he said.
“I hope to inspire them to turn it around and take action as they are there in the motherland where cultural knowledge and resources are abundant.”
