Programming Note: Merrie Monarch Festival 2008
April/01/2008 13:46
The world's premier hula event, The Merrie Monarch Festival, begins Thursday evening at 6:30 p.m., Hawaii Standard Time (no Daylight Savings here), and runs through Saturday night. Viewers worldwide can watch each evening's competition over streaming video broadcast by Hawaii's ABC local affiliate, KITV, at http://www.kitv.com/merriemonarch/index.html
Thursday evening is the Miss Aloha Hula competition: solo dancers chosen by their halau, or dance school, perform hula in both traditional (kahiko) and modern (auana) styles
Friday and Saturday evenings, all competing halau, in separate men's and women's performances, dance each style. Beginning at 6 p.m., each evening's competition usually runs about 5-6 hours!
The Merrie Monarch Festival is not just a dance competition, but also focuses on keeping all the traditions associated with hula alive, including chanting, musicianship, lei-weaving, tapa-making, elder respect, etc. In the past, the affiliate broadcast has done a great job showcasing these aspects for its viewers. If you get a chance to drop in at any time during the broadcast, treat yourself to a taste of the Islands!
To learn more about the Festival, visit the Merrie Monarch Festival site.
