Hawaiian Artifacts at the Peabody Essex Museum The Pacific Island Collections originated in 1799 and consists of 22,000 objects from Polynesia, Melanesia, and Micronesia. The 5,000 Hawaiian objects are particularly significant and form one of the most important collections of its kind outside Hawaii. One of the most interesting pieces is the large carved image made from breadfruit wood of Kuka'ilimoku, the personal war god of King Kamehameha. This heiau (temple) image dates back to the 18th century and is 210 centimeters in height. Only two other large carved images of Kuka'ilimoku have survived: one at the British Museum and the other at the Bishop Museum in Hawaii. |

| Instructor: | Marta Moussa has studied hula with the late Rose Kapulani Joshua and Lorraine Joshua in Honolulu, Hawaii and the late ethnic dance art great, La Meri. She studied Tahitian with Nona Robinson of Tumata's Polynesian Dance Co., Papa'ete, Tahiti and Cathy Tereapaia. |
|||||||||
| Hula: | Participants will learn basic hula movements, utilizing them in learning a modern or 'auana style hula. The class will also introduce sitting hula dances using hula implements. Some implements that will be used are the ipu (gourd), pu'ili (a split bamboo rod) and the 'uli 'uli (feathered gourd with canna seeds inside to produce sound). Students will be able to purchase these implements. Since hula is a storytelling dance and an integral part of Hawaiian music, translations of the songs will be provided. |
|||||||||
| Tahitian: | Basic Tahitian dance movements will be taught. An Otea (medley of line dances) will be taught (utilizing rhythmic hip movements) ranging from simple to basic, varying in tempo and rhythm. |

| Instructor: | Karen Leimomi Kawewehi Hoover, co-director of "Touch of Polynesia" dance troupe, and performer, is a consummate dance artist, teacher and historian. She shares with us the gift of her life spent deep in Hawaiian traditions: The strength and power of the ancient Ali'i in Kahiko chant and dance, the exciting implement dances, and the delicate grace of 'auana, modern hula. She has been studying and performing hula, its music, and its history for over twenty years. In these classes she shares her knowledge, language, basic techniques, and moves, then how they fit together to form dances. These are beginning level classes, so even if you had no prior dance training, join us in a warm, fun, learning atmosphere!! Classes are open from ages 6 and up. | |||||||||
