Keynote Speaker

Māpuana de Silva, Kumu Hula

 

Education through the art of traditional hula…..a way of life

A‘o aku, a‘o mai, pela e mōhala nei.

 

 

Hula has become the most popular dance form throughout the world today.  There are literally thousands of hula schools in Japan, Mexico, and Europe to name a few, and probably more schools abroad in many individual countries than in all of Hawai‘i collectively.  Why is hula so popular?  What makes it so enticing and exciting?  What is it that’s “hooking” people worldwide?

 

Kumu Māpuana will answer these questions and share her approach to education through the teachings of traditional hula in her halau (hula school), Hālau Mōhala ʻIlima.  She will share examples of hula that predate western contact and that have been kept intact for generations, examples of prophecy hula, hula for the gods, hula for our ali‘i (chiefs and chiefesses), hula that reflect western influence, and some newly created hula to bring us into the 21st century.

 

Through this journey Kumu Māpuana will present her perspective on traditional hula, how she cherishes it and takes care of it, how she shares it, and how she holds her students to a very high standard.

 

Māpuana de Silva has dedicated her life to the art of traditional hula.

 

Hula requires commitment and a level of dedication; is not just dance,  it becomes a way of life. Halau students learn more than hula; they also learn Hawaiian language,  Hawaiian values, genealogy and life skills.  The dancers are from all walks of life - teachers, lawyers, nurses, small business owners, police detectives, PhD candidates, CEO's and students from four years old to 75 years of age.  These students take the hula knowledge and values into their homes and many walks of life - and become keepers of the culture, living libraries, the first line of defense against the tides that threaten the teachings of our kūpuna (elders).

 

One measure of the hālau's long-term commitment to the preservation of Hawaiian culture through hula is their record of participation in the major hula festivals of the last three decades.  Among the most significant of Māpu's awards are those received from the UH Mānoa College of Education for excellence in Arts Education (1990), from Pacific University for achievements in performing arts education (Outstanding Alumnus, 1999), and from 'AhahuiŌlelo Hawai‘i for excellence in Hawaiian language education outside the standard classroom setting ("Manu a Ka‘ae," 2000).
