Ko Ma`i Ho`eu`eu Friday, November 4, 900 – 1200 Ko Ma`i Ho`eu`eu was composed for King Kalakaua. The mele ma`i honors the King and one of his popular mottos “Ho`ulu Lahui” or “Increase the Race”. Nalani believes that implements are extensions of the body. The use of the ipu in choreography adds percussion by the dancer. As one of the competition's judges, she will share her theory on hula `auana with implements. It is a favorite type of hula as she enjoys the technical delivery of the dance. As a hula teacher for over fifty years, she is widely known as a difficult choreographer, affording the student hula `auana with many challenges. All workshop students must bring their own ipu heke `ole. (A workshop will be available to make their own ipu heke `ole or one may be purchased at the Moku O Keawe Arts and Craft Fair at the event.) _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Hula Workshop Friday, November 4, 900 – 1200 Registration for this class is open, Description will be updated soon.

Its very few yellow feathers, appearing only on its chest, is gathered from a hundred birds to make this special lei. A favored love song, this hula speaks of Hilo Hanakahi, the Kanilehua rain, and the lehua clusters. Harry Na`ope, grandfather of George Na`ope, penned this mele ho`oipoipo. Iwalani Kalima, one of our competition judges, danced under Uncle George Na`ope for many years. She comes from the very talented Kalima `ohana, known for their leo nahenahe. Iwalani continues to carry the legacy, teaching hula at her home, traveling around the world to share her traditions, and promotes the culture throughout the state. In addition to Manu `O`o, the student will learn Ka Manu, as the ka`i and ho`i for the stage performance. The rendition, sung by Na Palapalai, has become a standard for many!

The historical landmarks, the Mona Lisa, and its most legendary leader have inspired this wonderful song of his travels. One of his recent and original compositions, Kuana offers a visual journey of this popular destination. Nani Lim-Yap will share her very distinct style in this special hula `auana workshop. Nani, a gifted singer, hula dancer, `ukulele player and one of the Kumu Hula of the award winning Hula Hālau Nā Lei O Kaholoku, is one of the “sweet angelic voices” of the popular musical family – the Lim Family of Kohala. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Wahi Pana: Kalahuipua`a Friday, November 4, 2011. Departure time: 1000 am The Kalahuipua'a Fishponds are the spiritual center of Mauna Lani Resort. Predating earlier than Western contact, the ponds are a tangible reminder of the days when the land and sea supported the ali'i. The seven ponds - Kalahuipua'a, Kahinawao, Waipuhi, Waipuhi Iki, Hope'ala, Milokukahi and Manoku - were used to raise fish and supplement ocean fishing. Bottom samples taken from the ponds date the ancient aquaculture system to as far back as 250 BC. The ponds were used to raise mullet, milkfish, shrimp and other sea life strictly for the consumption of ali'i. This excursion begins at Waikoloa Marriott Hotel with a bus shuttle departure at 1000 am, taking participants to the Mauna Lani Resort. The tour of the grounds include several of the ponds, shared through a historical perspective. A lunch box is included in the Excursion Fees. Return to Waikoloa Marriott Hotel will be approximately at 200 pm. All participants must wear walking shoes and be able to walk on uneven land and lava. It is suggested that participants bring a hat or head covering and sufficient water. A liability-release form must be completed by all participants. Limited class: 25 maximum. Date: Friday, November 4, 2011. Departure time: 1000 am; Return time approximately at 200 pm. A donation of $50.00 includes tour, historical facts, bus fees and box lunch. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Pa`u La`i Friday, November 4, between 100 – 400 pm The ti is an important plant! In hula, only the green ti plant is used in making lei, skirts, and in ritual. Used in preparation of ceremony, cooking, and for medicine, the ti is often planted adjacent to the home.

November 3; Class Time: 100 – 400 Implements are extensions of the body. The use of them in choreography also adds additional percussion by the dancer. The ipu heke (double gourd) is most frequently associated with hula kahiko along with the chanting by the ho`opa`a. In `auana, the ipu heke `ole (single gourd), is held in one hand and tapped, swirled, and positioned within the choreography to enhance and illustrate further the story lines. Kalim and Kuuleialoha Smith grow the ipu on lands of their forefathers and have an innate connection to sound. “I lea i ka hula i ka hoopaa.” The hula is pleasing because of the drummer. Select an ipu and create a percussion instrument that will last a lifetime! Class size is limited due to the number of gourds available. Only 25 students will have a selection of ipu. A donation of $75 includes a complete ipu heke kit and classroom instructions. Workshop Date: Thursday. November 3; Class Time: 100 – 400. (A hula workshop with the ipu heke `ole will be taught by Nalani Kanakaole the following day.) _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Ipu Heke Thursday and Friday, November 3 & 4. The ipu heke is one the percussion instruments with hula kahiko. History and protocol will be shared at this hands-on workshop. A two-day workshop will give students insights to the planting, growing, and the harvest of the ipu. Upon selection of their own pair of gourds, students will be taught various cleaning methods - both traditional and modern. After their ipu are glued together, each student will braid a muslin tie to hold and play their ipu hula. Kalim and Kuuleialoha Smith grow the ipu on lands of their forefathers and have an innate connection to sound. They have grown and made some of the most perfect instruments in modern times. The proverb written by our elders say “I lea i ka hula i ka hoopaa.” The hula is pleasing because of the drummer. Class size is limited due to the number of gourds available. Only 25 students will have a selection of ipu. A donation of $135 includes a complete ipu heke kit and classroom instructions.
