Ka Leo, KTUH and UH Productions come together to host the third annual Ka Leo Arts Festival, but when it’s fi nished, head to Ba-Le for the Art Garden After Party. From music and clothing to “live art” and local food, Ka Leo Arts Festival offers variety and excitement to students and community members every year, and this year it will continue on from 5-10 p.m. in Mānoa Gardens.

HAMILTON STAGE (Oct. 24, 3 p.m.-8 p.m.)

STREETLIGHT CADENCE (3 p.m.-3:45 p.m.) The Waikīkī born band’s members are Jonathon Franklin, Jesse Shiroma, Brian Webb and Lukas Mattice. Vocals, guitar, accordion, violin and cello join to enter-

tain. Streetlight Cadence will perform originals and covers on stage “to spread that indie-folk-alternative love.”

ARCHITECT BY DAY (3:45 p.m.- 4:30 p.m.) Duane Fukumoto, known as Architect By Day, is a doctoral student and artist. Originally from Waipahu, this acoustic pop singer and songwriter is hitting the stage to “empower and uplift listeners with per-sonal stories turned lyric.”

CAMILE VELASCO (5 p.m.- 5:30 p.m.) 2003 American Idol fi nalist Camile Velasco is bringing her style and talent to the Hamilton stage. Her singles include “Hangin’ On” and “Guava Jelly,” which received Hawai‘i Music Awards’ Single of the Year in April 2009.

UH MĀNOA DRUMLINE (5:30 p.m.-5:45 p.m.) The UH Mānoa Drumline will stand alone on stage to recharge the audience and leave

them rocking to the Warrior beat. The drumline will focus “on making the lis-tener nod their head.”

DHAN YOGA (5:45 p.m.-6:15 p.m.) As a leader in health and wellness, in-structors will share tips and poses based on traditional Korean healing philosophy. Have fun and “improve quality of life” at the same time. They will begin with a dance on stage and will teach warmup stretches and the butterfl y dance.

KA LEO ARTS FESTIVAL AFTER PARTY (5-10 p.m.)

McCarthy Mall, Mānoa Gardens

JAI THE BAND (5 p.m.-6 p.m.) “Fusing New York City east coast music textures with the strongest Hawaiian roots rock reggae sound,” JAI The Band will “experi-ment” on stage with reggae, pop and electron-ic. Members include Jai Rodgers (guitar, vocals)

and Daniel Rodgers (keyboards, vocals) col-laborating with Shaun Maddaloni (bass, vocals) and Keoni Anderson (drums, vocals).

DA PUSH-O-VERSE (6:15 p.m.-7:15 p.m.) Using a guitar and personal beatbox skills, Da Push-O-Verse creates pop and hip-hop medleys. They plan to showcase some slow songs, upbeat songs and “straight rock.”

BASSICK CONCEPT (7:30 p.m.-8:30 p.m.) While playing at a local bar’s open mic night, BasSICK Concept was born. With roots in rock and reggae, this five-piece reggae band will be playing origi-nals and its favorite covers.

CAMILE VELASCO (8:30 p.m.-9:45 p.m.) Velasco takes the stage once again to play local favorites as well as pop cov-ers. Velasco, born in the Philippines and raised in Hawai‘i, said she “was surround-ed by both reggae and island music, as well as the aloha culture.”

There will be a series of short performances by the the-atre department in honor of the Ka Leo Arts Festival. Lani Mc-Gettigan Winskye, house man-ager of Kennedy Theatre, said that there will be “belly danc-ing, Japanese magic, Rakugo (Japanese storytelling), Jingju (Beijing Opera), hip-hop dance (and) contemporary dance.”

JINGJU The Chinese tradition of Jingju, otherwise known as Bei-jing or Peking Opera, will be one of the acts for the preview. There will be selections from “Lady Mu and the Yang Family Generals,” a story of the military exploits of the Yang family during the Song

Dynasty in Ancient China. The act will be performed completely in Chinese. “We have guest per-formers here from China, teach-ing our students Jingju,” said Elizabeth Wichmann-Walczak, professor of Chinese theatre.

RAKUGO Rakugo is a form of Japanese story-telling, specifi cally as short comic pieces that follow a tradi-tional format. Performed in Eng-lish and directed by MFA veteran Yasu Ishida, it promises to be a memorable experience.

THE WILD PARTY Described as “risqué and sexy,” this off-Broadway musical has been delighting audiences since 1999. It will be briefl y previewed at the Arts Festival and performed at Kennedy Theatre later that night. Audience

members are encouraged to at-tend the later performance if they enjoy the preview.

Often hidden in the Art Building on campus, a group of talented and dedicated students have cre-ated a small community. The Glass Art Family consists of a range of beginning and advanced students who work together to raise funds to bring out visiting glass artists and to shed light on the local glass scene on O‘ahu and in Hawai‘i. This semester, with the support of the Student Activity Program and Fee Board, the GAF is fl ying out award-winning glass artist John de Wit. One of the GAF’s goals is to en-gage students and the larger com-munity in the world of creating art from glass. They hope to spread visibility and awareness about the variety of contemporary glass art. Members make lasting, meaningful, personal and professional relation-ships within the glass community.

ENGAGING WITH PROFES-SIONALS This school year, the GAF will host glass workshops for students who are not enrolled in the glass program. Students can come in, engage one-on-one with a glass club member and

create their own glass art. Any inter-ested students – regardless of experi-ence – can get hands-on glassblow-ing experience at these workshops, one of which will be held shortly after the Ka Leo Arts Festival. Jonathan Holshue, president of GAF, has been working with glass for three years and is work-ing toward a bachelor’s of Fine Art in glass. When asked where his interest in glass came from, he answered that the challenge of the work drew him on. “The medium requires dedica-tion and an ability to learn from mistakes,” Holshue said. “A main appeal for many people working with glass is the sense of commu-nity and necessity of teamwork in order to produce work.” Much of his inspiration stems from his personal experiences, and he works toward expressing these infl uences through the ap-plication of new techniques when working with glass. You can check out Holshue’s one-of-a-kind piec-es at the Arts Festival. As one of few glass programs in North America, the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa provides an exclusive opportunity for those in-terested in this form of art.

As a self-taught seamstress, Uni-versity of Hawai‘i at Mānoa alumna Brooke Lynn Hauguel has opened two shops to showcase her passion for making swimsuits. Hauguel’s two shops include Peace of Paradise Creations on Etsy.com and peaceofparadis-eforme.com. Hauguel began by making shell jewelry with shells she found from going to the beach. “I came up with the name ‘Peace of Paradise’ because I thought each little shell was essentially a little ‘piece’ of this paradise I am living on,” Hauguel said. “I am very into and inspired by the boho and love child themes, and I love Peace signs. . . . I felt it was important to incorpo-rate the two, Peace + Paradise.” The South Bend, Ind., native began making shell jewelry and opened her shop on Etsy.com in 2011 and started making swim-wear a year later. “I really had a passion for mak-ing swimwear, and I found it much easier than most other products,” Hauguel said.

SWIMWEAR IN PARADISE Hauguel has been living in Hawai‘i for more than fi ve years and believes her past gives her insight into what people visiting Hawai‘i look for in swimwear. “My creations are more related to the island life, but my past gives me good insight into what people from the mainland are looking for,” Hauguel said. “This helps me broaden my customer base be-cause I am familiar with what peo-ple who have daily uses for swim-wear and people who only get to use them for short times through-out the year are looking for.”

Hauguel began making swimsuits in April 2012 and said it took a couple of months for her swim line to gain momentum, but it has been growing from there. “The hardest part about run-ning my store is when buying things offl ine, there is always a level of uncertainty,” Hauguel said. “Most of my customers are highly satisfi ed with their prod-ucts, but as with any business, you cannot please everyone.” She said she takes negative feedback personally. “I want all my customers to have an experience with my shop that goes beyond expectations, so I do try my best, at any cost, to try and accomplish that,” Hauguel said. PROCESS BEHIND THE SUITS Hauguel spends a lot of time on each suit she makes. Once a suit is purchased, she processes and prints out the order and then cuts out each suit in each size. “I usually cut out about 100 suits in one setting, and this takes about eight hours,” Hauguel said. The amount of time she spends sewing each suit varies depend-ing on the type of swimsuit. Once sewn, she double checks her suits with what was ordered and pur-chases shipping labels before sending email confi rmations to her customers that their items have shipped. “So a lot of time goes into each suit,” Hauguel said. Growing up, Hauguel wasn’t able to explore her creative side as she was mainly focused on playing sports and going to school. “I wanted to sew, since my grandmother had been an career wedding seamstress, but I was never encouraged to learn those skills,” Hauguel said.

PIECE OF PARADISE Hauguel’s two shops include more than 50 different swimsuit designs and fabrics that customers can choose from, along with her handmade shell jewelry. “I currently do custom swim-wear, where my customer is able to choose their favorite top and bot-tom styles,” Hauguel said. “I also have over 50 fabrics that can be used in any combination, that al-lows for a truly unique suit. The fa-vorite and most important part (of) my store is that my suits are afford-able, unique, and I accept orders in absolutely every size.” There are many popular items in her store. “The most popular items in my store are the ‘Tantalus’ bow butt bikini bottoms. A local girl’s fa-vorite seems to be the ‘Kaimanas’ low-rise, skinny band bikini bot-toms. And for tops, the ‘Makakilo’ bandeau with four back straps, the ‘Kaneohe’ halter top and the ‘Hilo’ ruffl e bandeau,” Hauguel said. Hauguel began naming her suits after her favorite places to go to the beach, including Yokohama, Waimea and Lanikai. “I think the Hawaiian language is beautiful and, in particular, the places the names are referring to,” she said. Hauguel is very satisfi ed with where she is at with her store, but she would also like to grow. “Currently, I am mostly sell-ing online, with a couple of craft shows a month,” Hauguel said. “However, I would like to work on getting my creations into stores and possibly having a small store front on island myself.” For more information or to order a suit or jewelry of your own, con-tact Hauguel at [email protected].

Adair Hill, University of Hawai‘i alum and member of Big Banyan Art Collective, talked about the birth of Art Truck Hawai‘i and plans for the Ka Leo Art Festival.

For newcomers, what is the Art Truck? Art Truck is basically a 14 foot moving van that has been painted funky on the outside and fi lled with artwork on the inside. Then we take the truck to popular events happen-ing on O‘ahu and set up the art on tables and racks around the vehicle. The art comes from local, global and student artists who give us their work to sell for them. By avoiding the expense of a permanent location we are able to keep the prices rea-sonable for our customers and give more back to the artists.

How did you come up with the concept of the Art Truck? The day I was born, the legend goes I was taken to an old mystic who

looked at my truck shaped birth mark and proclaimed, “This one will one day bring art to an island people.” That may or may not have happened in actuality, but when I fi nished grad school at UH, I wanted to create something that hadn’t been done be-fore. I wanted it to be new and excit-ing and bring happiness to people’s lives – something more meaningful than our every day products and ser-vices. It took a while, but after many reverses and course corrections, the concept of selling original artwork from a truck materialized. The grow-ing acceptance of mobile vending (although predominantly food) com-bined with regular events (Honolulu Night Market, Eat the Streets, etc.) and year-round festival weather have created the perfect environment for a concept like this to thrive. Where do you get your ideas for art? People always ask me about my art, but if you ever see what I paint you might reconsider the topic. So I have come to direct people to the business itself as my creation, and I

truly feel Art Truck and the happiness it brings to people is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever made. How have you built your network of artists? In the beginning, I used to go to art showings and search the web, speaking with anyone who would listen. Nowadays though, the artists tend to fi nd us, which I take as a sign that we’re doing something right.

Where can we see you usually? Follow ArtTruckHawaii on Face-book or Instagram for posts about new art in the truck or where we’ll be next. You can also usually find us stuck in traffic.

Where do you see the future of the Art Truck? We have been really lucky so far with each month seeing more artists joining and more people buying. I’m thinking Art Boat might be the way to expand the arts to untapped mar-kets, but whatever the future is, we’re going to keep on truckin’.

Spending most of her time in the glass studio at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, graduate Tonia Moreno makes functional ware and sculptures out of glass. Since high school, Moreno had been interested in ceramics until she went to community college where she took courses in glass blowing. She came to UH Mānoa because of the diverse courses it offered in glass art. “There’s a lot of different medi-ums to work with,” Moreno said. “There’s not only blowing glass, but there’s casting glass in a lost wax method or sand-casting in a mold method. And several other classes that were really interesting to me. So that’s why I came out here.”

WORKING WITH GLASS A fi ne arts major from San Di-ego, Moreno graduated last spring with an emphasis on glass blowing. “I like glass because of the many qualities it can have and the count-less ways you can work with it,” Moreno said. “It is a material un-like metal or wood or ceramic. The intensity of the heat and the fl uidity of the glass in its molten state are what intrigued me.” Moreno works with different me-diums and materials. Since she was interested in ceramics in high school, Moreno is now experimenting with ways to combine glass and ceramics. “I’m sort of exploring some ways to combine ceramics and glass, and I have some work with marble and metal and different compo-nents,” Moreno said. Moreno said a lot of her inspira-tion for her pieces stems from as-pects in nature. “So texture, form, shape, color – those kind are represented in my work,” Moreno said.

THE SPOTLIGHT Since Moreno moved to Hawai‘i in 2010, she started showcasing her

work at exhibitions and art shows. “I learned a lot more about gal-leries and having group shows with our class at the different gal-leries,” Moreno said. Moreno has showcased her work at shows put on by the university and the island, including Art at Mark’s Garage, a community arts center in Honolulu, and the Koa Galley at Kapi‘olani Community College. Her work will be featured in an exhi-bition in November called the Hawai‘i Modern Master’s at Luxury Row. “Exhibitions and shows are a great way to showcase your work and that in return opens up many new possibilities for future oppor-tunities.” Moreno said “These help build your artist resume and teach you a great deal about what full-time artists do.” Moreno also sells her work at sales put on by the university. At the end of the fall semester, Christ-mas sales are held through the university in partner with Ceramics. A Mother’s Day sale is also held in the spring semester. GLASS IN SESSION This semester, Moreno is a teaching assistant for ART 130: In-troduction to Glass. “Most of my time is spent in or around the glass studio,” Moreno said. “(I’m) making sure that people are working safe and working to-gether and trying to see if anyone does have any questions, since I am the TA, helping to problem solve.” Moreno participates in class demos and helps students learn to tackle the obstacles they face as they learn to blow glass. “We always have something new to learn, and it’s tricky to get a han-dle on because glass is very, very hot,” Moreno said. “It’s very intimi-dating. And it’s also very intriguing and seductive, and it’s beautiful in the way that it’s not like any other material. It’s very fragile, but it’s also very unforgiving.” Moreno said she is trying to gain knowledge in the teaching

assistant position to see where it will take her. “I like the freshness of all the new ideas from the beginning,” Moreno said.” It challenges my own thoughts like thinking critically and problem solving.”

GLASS ART FAMILY While Moreno attended UH Mānoa as an undergraduate student, she was a member of the Glass Art Family. “Being part of the Glass Art Family, our glass club, has taught me many valuable lessons,” Moreno said. Moreno held the positions of secretary and vice president during the last three years, and although she’s no longer an undergraduate, she is still involved with the club. “What we do is sell our work and raise funds, which helps us to bring in guest artists that are from other places outside of O‘ahu,” Moreno said. “Last semester we brought out Richard Royal, and this semes-ter we have John De Witt. This is what is special and unique about our program, and what it is fun to be involved in our club.” According to Moreno, the club will be hosting a hot demo on how to make glass on Oct. 24 at the Ka Leo Arts Festival. “It’s kind of hard to explain in probably a short article, the dif-ferent things that we do in glass,” Moreno said. “It’s easier to kind of watch and observe.”

WHAT’S NEXT Moreno is continuing to produce art while being a teaching assistant at the university. She will be as-sisting a fellow glassblower, Bud Spidnt, at the Linekona Honolulu Museum of Arts School with his glass slumping and fusing class. Moreno is also working with Spindt to build a small glass studio to teach out of at Windward Com-munity College.

Artists are plentiful on the Uni-versity of Hawai‘i campus. There are painters, photographers, fashion designers and more, but one artist is challenging the way skateboards are used: Kalani Ware and his company Gripptide. “Gripptide is a company that specializes in grip tape art,” Ware said. “(It) is just rooted in the art culture. So it’s kind of bringing back what skateboarding is and how it compares to art and the foundation that is within.” Being half-Hawaiian, Ware knew that coming to Hawai‘i for school would help him become rooted in culture and it shows in his work. Most of his pieces consist of a portrait with tribal design around it. “I came back to really fi nd my-self rooted in the culture (and) speak the language,” Ware said. “Every day, I am trying to fi nd my-self, and the whole thing behind Gripptide is design times culture, so I want to put a little bit of my-self and mix it with the design or the ethnicity of whoever the per-son is or client is.” Most pieces are geared to-ward Polynesian style, but he also likes variation.

“I would try to collaborate those ideas together,” Ware said. “It’s mostly Polynesian, but I am down to switch it up and put a little bit of my style with their ethnic background.” An Oakland, Calif., native, Ware never skateboarded until he came to UH. “I actually didn’t start skateboard-ing till I moved to Hawai‘i because where I am from no one really skateboarded,” Ware said. “I just surrounded myself around a lot of people that skateboard, and eventu-ally I was tired of walking around so I started skating. I don’t bomb hills. I leave that to those guys, but I just be cruising campus.” Although Gripptide started last year, Ware has been busier than ever making flyers, attend-ing galleries and being a part of RAW Natural Born Artists. “I have done a whole bunch of events,” Ware said. “The Art & Flea festival, and (I’m) part of an organization called RAW Natural Born Artists that stretches from here to New York. They have been able to give me a lot of events and venues to work at BambuTwo.” Opportunities are everywhere for Gripptide, and Ware hopes for a greater future. “If you want something done you gotta do it yourself,” Ware said. “Struggle now, succeed later.”

UH Mānoa senior Tasha Lee specializes in ocean-inspired jew-elry. Handmade earrings made of sterling silver sea glass hooks and sterling silver bracelets with shells, jade and sea glass are just some of Lee’s jewelry for sale. “I was simply in love with ocean-inspired jewelry, but the problem was that it was too pricey,” Lee said in an email. “I was taught the basics of jewelry making and I just fell in love with creating and designing. I originally made the pieces exclusively for me, but ev-eryone kept complimenting them and asking where to get them, so I decided why not?” Jewelry pieces range from $26 to $180 and can be purchased online at etsy.com/shop/TKLcre-ations. Lee makes earrings, neck-laces and bracelets but also makes rings and bangles when requested. Customizable sunrise shell jewelry is also available. “Each piece is handcrafted using semi-precious stones and shells and sea glass found in Hawai‘i all held together with sterling silver or 14k yellow (or) rose gold fi ll.” Originally from Kona, Lee is major-ing in business management and bal-ances studying with her love of nature.

“I like to surf and hike,” she said. “I am bikini obsessed, which is why I want to get into designing bikinis. I love food and going out to eat. And I love collecting and fi nding things for my pieces: It just doesn’t seem like work, (and) I get excited just buying supplies and researching business aspects for my business.” It doesn’t stop at jewelry for Lee, who wants to branch out and expand her business into creating swimwear. “My ultimate goal would be to get into designing bikinis and clothing for a reasonably afford-able price and owning my own re-tail space,” Lee said. “I also want to expand on my creations and grow. I am constantly coming up with new designs and learning new techniques.” Hawai‘i is an ideal place for Lee to create her jewelry because the environment inspires her. “I love colors and the way they just compliment and contrast each other,” she said. “The way that in nature everything just fl ows in a way. I’m also heavily motivated by my emotions and the people around me, whether it be good or bad, (and) I fi nd comfort and hap-piness in creating pieces. “I just want to see people smile and feel beautiful.”

Steampunk and ocean jewelry:Alexander Johnson and Elenka Jacobs

Jackie PerreiraFeatures Editor

In middle school, University of Hawai‘i junior Alexander Johnson realized that he liked jewelry. Having woven beaded and hemp bracelets at camp, he honed in on his passion and now creates ste-ampunk jewelry, which is what he will have for sale at the Arts Festi-val along with his own paintings. “I like the antique style of it,” Johnson said. “It’s very strange. People know what it is and can recognize it and have an interest towards it, but it’s not relatively something you’d see that often.” Steampunk jewelry is a mixture of gadgets, typically requiring ma-terials like antique gears and clock parts. The creator takes these ma-terials and welds them together to make pendants, bracelets and rings. It usually sells for upward

of $30 apiece, depending on how intricate the jewelry is. Johnson is an art major with a fo-cus on sculpting, which comes into play when he constructs the jewelry. “I buy the base pieces from Michael’s and Ben Franklin, take those found objects and put them all together, kind of creating more of a puzzle,” he said. “I don’t gen-erally cut out every single piece.” To Johnson, the fascination in steampunk jewelry lies in its his-torical importance. “It’s about how things work, and it’s cool to think of what the people of the past would think about the future … and I just kind of like that idea,” he said. He will be selling pendants, brace-lets and rings ranging from $15-$30. He will also have materials there to make custom jewelry, which will re-quire about a 10-15 minute wait. In addition to jewelry, Johnson

will also have his artwork available, such as oil paintings depicting things from Minecraft characters to oceanic scenes, particularly with octopuses. He has yet to deter-mine a price, but expect price tags heftier than that of the jewelry. To see more of his artwork and jewelry, visit his Etsy account: etsy.com/people/alexjohnson617, shop name: “Pick Your Passion.”

WAI-HINE JEWELRY Junior Elenka Jacobs is bringing Moloka‘i to O‘ahu. Parts of it, that is, through shell jewelry and her etsy.com shop, “Wai-Hine Jewelry,” where she combines her love of the ocean and all of its inhabitants. “My intention is to show the world that the ocean is not some-thing to be afraid of, but to cherish and nurture. Through my jewelry, I want women of all shapes and sizes to feel beautiful while wearing it,

while also feeling that connection towards the sea,” according to the shop announcement on her Etsy account, etsy.com/shop/elenkaj. The name comes from a mix-ture of two Hawaiian words. “‘Wai-Hine’ is a combination of two Hawaiian words: Wahine (woman) and Wai (water), put together form-ing ‘water-woman’,” she explained. Jacobs could be considered a “Wai-Hine” herself. Because she is from Moloka‘i, she gets all of her shells from where she grew up. She calls the process of searching for shells for her jewelry, “shelling.” As for her other materials, such as wire and recycled sterling silver, she takes to the Internet. Shelling is just one part of the long process. Earrings, bracelets, rings and necklaces can all take hours to create, putting her sell-ing price at $30-$50 an item. “Wire itself is like half (the price of the item), then it takes a couple hours

to get it perfectly sized together,” she said. “Finding the shells takes a couple hours, too. Finding the shells, cleaning them … it’s a lot of work. (Similar jewelry) is around that price range or higher, so I feel like mine is within a good price range.” She is also the secretary of the Glass Art Family on campus, which she represents and promotes through her own glass jewelry. “My love goes into each piece of jewelry I make, and it’s always diffi cult to part with a piece that has taken a part of my soul with it,” she said. She hopes to pursue this as a career and perhaps become a jewelry-making teacher. “I’m doing what I love now … and hopefully from now on,” she said. Jacobs offers a 10-percent dis-count to those who would like a custom piece made or have a shell or oceanic crystals they would like to be made into jewelry.

Hawaiian-inspired jewelry: Allyson Franco

JACKIE PERREIRA

Features Editor

Oftentimes one of the most disappointing aspects of a class is when a student thinks, “When am I ever going to use this in real life?” For junior Allyson Franco, this is not a problem. After taking a Hawaiian Fiber Arts class this se-mester, she was inspired to get in touch with her culture, and she is now creating pencil cases, prints and jewelry for her booth at the Arts Festival. “All of the designs will be relevant to what I’m learning in class,” she said. “They will repre-sent me, but they can be also like my brand label. It’s really impor-tant to me to think of something I can connect to and share with everybody else.” In class, Franco learned differ-ent ways of dyeing and printing in the style of ancient Hawaiians. “If (the ancient Hawaiians) wanted a different color for their prints, they had to buy other plants to get the colors. Red, orange and yellow were easier to get, but it was difficult to find different blues, greens and pur-ples,” she said. She will be applying their meth-ods and style to her own designs. “It’s something different that you wouldn’t see,” she said. “It’s a hard process. I’ll be using ‘olena, which is turmeric, a type of root. Juices from the actual plant come out with the color, so I’ll most likely be grinding it, grating it, until it’s more grainy. And then most likely be smashing it and kind of creating the orange color to it.” A big part of why she chose to mimic the ancient Hawaiian style is because of her fascination with the culture. She is majoring in Ha-

waiian studies and minoring in so-ciology and Hawaiian language, which is where her passion for it has multiplied. “I love my culture,” Franco said. “I don’t know who I’d be if I didn’t have it. I guess being aware of my culture and lan-guage. And being in America or just having another perspec-tive of life, you kind of tie that into Hawaiian culture. It gives you another perspective, and it kinds of splits your brain in half. A Hawaiian language and cul-ture perspective and you have what’s going on today and you can use that in your advantage in a certain way.” Some of the pencil case and print designs will directly refl ect a concept that was recently taught in class: mo‘okū‘auhau, which means genealogy. “We’re just doing differ-ent things in connection to our mo‘okū‘auhau, and within our genealogy, we kind of connect to ‘aumakua, our spirit guides. We connect that to different col-ors; mine is a shark, so we con-nect that to blues, and my other part of my family is a bird, being land creatures, so we usually use greens,” she said. Franco hopes to continue making Hawaiian-style art, possi-bly as a career. “I’m trying to get up an Etsy (shop account) just for my jew-elry right now, but in regards to the Hawaiian perspective art, I’m trying to think of ways to get myself out there. Soon, hope-fully,” she said.

Models, makeup and Macy’s will come together at the Ka Leo Arts Festival, where a catwalk competi-tion will be held for students to en-ter and win prizes. Macy’s will be sponsoring the campus catwalk, and the Innovators of Fashion club will provide still modeling near the art gallery exhibition. “The Campus Catwalk is a fun con-test for students to enter to win gift cards. Participants will strut their sil-liest walk so they should wear a cos-tume, wacky attire or face paint,” said Kari Watase, vice president of Innovators of Fashion, in an email in-terview. “We have a few $10 Macy’s gift cards to give away to audience favorites, so be sure to bring your friends for support.”

Fashion design and merchandis-ing students have volunteered to still model garments that designers have submitted to display for view-ers at the arts festival. Through the modeling, the Innovators of Fash-ion hope to attract students with the same interests. “We are hoping to let people know about our program and do fundraising through our booth where we will be selling crafts made by our members, such as dream catchers, headbands and bunny-scrunchies,” Watase said. The Innovators of Fashion is a club managed by members of the fashion design and merchan-dising program. They are not ex-clusive to FDM majors and wel-come students with an interest in fashion to join their club. The Innovators of Fashion club has

guest speakers from the local in-dustry, collaborates with other clubs and holds fundraisers for its spring fashion shows. In sponsoring the catwalk compe-tition, Macy’s will be holding sweep-stakes for students to enter and win money that will contribute in paying their college tuition. “It is a tuition assistance sweep-stakes where students can text the word ‘CAMPUS’ to 62297 to enter for a chance to win $25,000 towards college tuition,” Watase said. “Also, once they send their text, they will receive a link to a 15 percent off code for their next purchase at Macy’s.” Anyone that is interested in par-ticipating in the catwalk competition can contact Kari Watase at [email protected] – there will be priz-es for all contestants participating.

There’s a party at Kennedy Theatre, and everyone’s invited. Starting Oct. 23, the UH Mānoa theatre department is set to present the Earle Ernst Lab Theatre’s premiere prime-time show of Kennedy’s 50th anniversary season: “The Wild Party” by Andrew Lippa. Set in the Roaring ‘20s, viewers will have the opportunity to gaze into the past as they attend a party like no other.

A DIFFERENT KIND OF MUSICALOn the surface, “The Wild

Party” may sound like your av-erage piece of musical theater, as a pair of desperate lovers attempts to rekindle their rela-tionship by throwing, as the title suggests, a wild party, complete with musical underscores and singing, as well as dance num-bers laid out by choreographers Michelle Johnson and Katheryn Holt. However, things are not al-ways as they seem; viewers who come to the show expecting a campy, Broadway-style musical may be surprised at what the party has to offer. The play deals with mature themes of love and lust as the leads attempt to make one another jealous by cheating on each other with as many people as possible, despite the disasters that may result. In fact, the themes and

actions portrayed in the show help set it apart from most other musicals, such as Rodgers and Hammerstein’s “Oklahoma!”, which Kennedy Theatre show-cased two years ago.

THE REAL DEAL So just what kind of musical is “The Wild Party”? As direc-tor and MFA candidate Brittni Shambaugh explained, the show is “real,” with the intent to “make people feel something.” Although no stranger to direct-ing, Shambaugh, who most recently directed last season’s “Sonnets for an Old Century,” put careful consideration into the show she wanted to direct as her MFA thesis. “I wanted to challenge myself,” Shambaugh said. She did just that by opting to direct what is not only her first musical, but one that relies heav-ily on character interaction and complex songs, as opposed to the infamous “jazz hands” and gaudy, unrealistic dance num-bers often found in other mu-sicals. To accomplish this task, Shambaugh’s rehearsal process relied heavily on interaction between characters and the ac-tors that play them. Kyle Scholl, who plays Kate (and was last seen in spring’s “Thread Hell”) emphasized that an important part of the process was making everyone feel “really connected as a cast.” To accomplish this,

the first few weeks of rehearsals were dedicated solely to dance and ensemble work, with char-acter work taking a back seat until later in the process. Scholl points out that with such a large cast – 18 people all crammed in the Lab Theatre’s tiny perfor-mance space – cooperation and a sense of community was key.

THE LIFE OF THE PARTY When all is said and done, audience members can ex-pect to be treated to just what the show’s title promises. Cast members have been trained in audience interaction for this show, and theatergoers are not only allowed but encouraged to show up dressed in classic ‘20s attire to help bring the party to life. “The Wild Party” may not be for everyone – it is recom-mended for viewers aged 16 and up – but if, as Shambaugh suggests, theatergoers “come in with an open mind” and look forward to “a lot of fun and also a lot of danger,” this show promises to be one party view-ers won’t soon forget.

“The Wild Party” can be seen at the Earle Ernst Lab Theatre

on Oct. 23-26 at 8 p.m. and on Oct. 27 at 2 p.m. There

will be a post-show chat after the performance on Oct. 25.
