HŌ‘IKE: Nā Mo‘olelo Mai ka Papa Hana Keaka Hawai‘i

The Hawaiian Theatre Program in the Department of Theatre and Dance at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa presented HŌ‘IKE: Nā Mo‘olelo Mai ka Papa Hana Keaka Hawai‘i, a Hawaiian Acting Workshop Showcase, livestreamed on the global, commons-based peer-produced HowlRound TV network at howlround.tv on Thursday 9 May at 9:30 a.m. HST (Honolulu) / 12:30 p.m. PDT (San Francisco) / 2:30 p.m. CDT (Chicago) / 3:30 p.m. EDT (New York).

The word hō‘ike in Hawaiian means to show, to tell, to demonstrate one's knowledge. As a culmination to this semester's research and performance journey students enrolled in the Hawaiian Acting Workshop present original scenes they've developed based on Hawaiian mo‘olelo (stories and histories). This hō‘ike honors mo‘olelo ranging from the time of the akua (gods) as in the story of the goddess Pele finding her home in the Hawaiian Islands, to the time of the Hawaiian monarchy demonstrated in a story for Princess Kamāmalu, to current day environmental issues like the rapid death of the ‘ōhi‘a forests on the island of Hawai‘i. This event is supported by the Hawaiian Theatre Program in the Department of Theatre and Dance at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa.
