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.”

If you are embarking on a new chapter of life, the thought of shedding familiar possessions can feel even more stressful. This can be true even if the life changes are a good thing, such as a move to somewhere you will love to live.
Once you understand why you have this feeling, you can reframe it as creating a new environment that will support your present life while reminding you of your best experiences.
