[edit | edit source]

The founders of Kilimogo Productions include Rangimoana Taylor, Cindy Diver and Hilary Halba.[2][3] The intention was to look at theatre from both a Māori and Pākehā perspective. Founding member Taylor says of this in an interview with Halba, "I sometimes think we go quite painfully, as equals, but we discuss everything."[2]
