NLM Hula Basics

Fri, 20 Aug 2010 13:39:04 -0600

Start: 09/13/2010 - 7:00pm

End: 09/13/2010 - 8:00pm

Hula is the art of Hawaiian dance, a choreographed interpretation of a poetic text, or mele, which combines pictorial hand and arm gestures with rhythmic lower-body movements. Far more than just a dance, hula expresses all that we see, hear, taste, touch, smell and feel. For many Hawaiians and Hawaiians-at-heart, the hula is also a way of life.

Beginning this fall, hula instructor Lisette Kaualena Flanary of Nä Lehua Melemele will be offering beginner hula classes at Dance Theater Workshop in Chelsea. An introduction to the basic hands and footwork of the dance, the class will concentrate on the fundamentals of hula dancing, rather than choreography, with strong emphasis on movement, posture, and relaxation. This class level is open to everyone – from those who have no hula experience to seasoned hula dancers – who wish to strengthen their foundation of the basic fundamentals of the dance.

Classes will be held on Monday evenings beginning on September 13, 2010. There will be 12 classes this fall and regular attendance is encouraged.

Dates: September 13, 20, 27
October 4, 11, 18, 25
November 8, 15, 22, 29 (No class Nov. 1)
December 7 (*Please note the last class is on a Tuesday)
Time: 7:00 PM – 8:00 PM

Hālāwai Proudly Presents
A Master Series Lecture
by Manuwai Peters

Wednesday, September 15, 2010
7:00 PM

Location
American Indian Community House
11 Broadway, NYC

Cost: Free!

Hawaiian Language Revitalization Post-Hawaiian Renaissance

This lecture covers the emergence since 1987 to the present of the State of Hawaiʻi's Hawaiian Language Immersion Program in the Department of Education as a vehicle to revitalize the Hawaiian language for a new generation. The presentation examines the role Hawaiian performance art forms (hula and mele) plays in the preservation of the Hawaiian language and the use of technology in documenting, disseminating, and using Hawaiian language today. Special focus is given to the efforts of urban communities outside of Hawaiʻi to promote Hawaiian language usage and raise awareness and the need for Hawaiian language policy at the state level.

Manuwai Peters is a resident of Molokaʻi, Hawaiʻi and has been associated with Molokaʻi's Hawaiian language immersion program since it began in 1992. He has taught Hawaiian language to Pre-K to 12th grade students as well as to adults at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, Kapiʻolani Community College, and Maui Community College. While completing his graduate studies at Columbia University, he has been teaching Hawaiian language in New York City and Washington, D.C. He is also the Cultural Advisor to the non-profit organization, Hālāwai.

FREE Dance Salon: 3 companies, drinks, noshes, dancing and a cemetery tour

Tue, 28 Sep 2010 09:38:15 -0600

Marie-Christine Giordano Dance Studio
220 25th St buzzer 202
(studio is #102, straight ahead on left)
Brooklyn, NY

More Info Ever wonder how dancers do what they do; what goes in to the making of a dance? Interested in knowing some basics about the history, significance and some of the gentle and expressive movements of the Hawaiian hula, and/or the martial arts inspired form of Japanense yosakoi? Ever fantasize about being locked into a romantic Victorian cemetery with a bunch of dancers?

Salon/open house showcase Sunday, 10/3, 3 - 6p, in artist's lo...ft on 25th St, Greenwood Heights, Brooklyn (south end of Park Slope): 3 dance companies showing works of under 10 minute each in styles from hula to contemporary, with wine, beer, noshes and other refreshments available before, in between and after.

At the end of the block lies romantic Green-Wood Cemetery, with easy access to graves of Leonard Bernstein, Louis Moreau Gottschalk and Louis Comfort Tiffany; the Civil War and Brooklyn Theater Fire memorials all within a 5 min walk of the gate. Adjacent to Bernstein's grave, the statue of Minerva stands atop Battle Hill, her hand raised in salute to the Statue of Liberty directly facing her in the Harbor. One of NYC's hidden gems (think New Orleans cemetery with hills leading to the highest point in Brooklyn). The tour of this area on Aug 29 was a blast!

As it was then, the tour on Oct 3 will be offered, following the showing, by Steve Estroff, Green-Wood's Outreach and Education Coordinator, but this time will make use of the Cemetery's trolley as well to reach more remote areas of the site. The tour, which normally costs $15 per person will be offered for$10 pp cash, payable at the beginning of the tour, with proceeds donated to support the salon and its artists. Since the Cemetery closes at 5p, those taking the tour will receive a private experience with Steve who will let tour members out with his own key. More refreshments and free-style social dancing for all who wish to participate will follow the tour.

Napua Davoy @ Miles Cafe

Start: 10/06/2010 - 7:30pm

End: 10/06/2010 - 9:30pm

Did you hear that Napua Davoy is doing her first musical performance in trio at MILES CAFE WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 6TH?

Really . . . I thought she died from musical theatre?

No, she's a tough old bird. If it doesn't kill you . . . it'll make you stronger.

Oh, that's why Ira Gitler said,

"As you may expect her versatility is a great asset, with her experience as an actress definitely a positive force on her singing. She can swing, wax nostalgic and be seductive or operatic."

And only $10 tickets, quiet policy and they serve liquor and sushi - hello?

I gotta check this out.

See you there!
