Aloha,
We will be traveling to Moloka'i for a workshop February 16 to 19. There is limited attendance in these since they already include a number of instructors, cultural practitioners, and community resource people and some of our regular students. This worksop will be followed by a performance. Workshop includes Kiho'alu (Slack Key), ukulele, hula, olelo and mo'olelo.
Please email me your request to attend: cyril @ cyrilpahinui.com
The program inspired and designed by Uncle George Na'ope is the series of workshops called He Huaka‘i e pana na i ke ea—“A Journey to bring pulse to the Living,” a traveling succession of instruction where training focuses on mele wai pana, the chants, songs, music, and hula of treasured regions or sites.
In cultures where traditions are kept and passed orally, chants, songs, and dances are an archive of ideology, connections, memories, and experiences from Hawaiian ancestors. Through the detailed chants and precise movements of na hula, the mores of society, duty, honor, birth, death, revival, passion, revenge, and place names are meticulously taught and remembered. Thus these arts reveal the very essence of the Hawaiian people, and their practice keeps the history, language, and Hawaiian people alive. The intention of this program is to ground and reconnect students with the life of the land and the traditional knowledge it endows.
