Hi everyone,
I was excited to see the wonderful questions you posed last week that can serve as the basis for our podcasts. Some of my favorite questions included:
Just wanted to take a moment to mention that Itʻs so important that we all show up for these upcoming sessions especially so that we can contribute to our projectʻs larger goal of producing a message for our community. As we said at the beginning of the process, this work requires your commitment! See you soon! Hi everyone,
Last week, we got into three teams and started brainstorming issues we're interested in focusing on as we share our responses to Ua Pau. If you were absent last time, we'll plug you into a team this week so that you can give your input as we go forward. Our goals for this week include narrowing down our topics and writing some questions we want to ask each other in order to get at the issues in the play. As we've mentioned, one way we can do that is by recording our conversations based on our awesome questions in a podcast format that we can share. In our session, I'll show you a possible format for a podcast that each team can create! We'll also listen to a few minutes of a local podcast called Blue Hawai'i as an example. The hosts are two lawyers who live in Ewa Beach and like to discuss local issues, interview interesting people, and explain how national and international current events affect us here in Hawai'i. In this episode, they have a "roundtable" discussion with some folks who have been involved in the protests in Mauna Kea, and interestingly, the issues they raise have some parallels with those in the play. We'll check it out for a few minutes during our session, but feel free to listen on your own if you're curious. By the way, if you have some other ideas about how you would prefer to present your ideas about the play--documentary, art, creative writing, performance, presentation?--please let us know! Looking forward to seeing you on Thurs.!
Hi everyone.
We look forward to seeing you this Thurs. at Kaimuki from 3:15-4:15. This will be our first opportunity as a group to really take a breath, discuss what we took from Ua Pau, and brainstorm what we believe is important to share with our community about the experience. We hope the discussion that Kumu Kahua Artisitc Director Harry Wong led last week was useful in getting some insights about the story and, in general, how much thinking goes into turning a script into a performance. Who would have thought Madonna's Grammy-Award winning music video from 1998 was a commentary on the Bible?!? If you haven't already, please record a 1-2 min. reflection on Harry's presentation in your Anchor audio journal. If you're not sure where to start, consider this: What "behind-the-scenes" information about the play that he shared surprised you or just made you realize how much thought went into staging it. Or what was one bit of information about the play or about the theater in general he discussed that you had not considered much? Remember, the sooner you record your response after the experience, the more you'll have to share.
If your behind on our three audio journal recordings, or if you're having trouble sharing them, we'll take the first 10 mins. of our session this week to help each other catch up. The three we've worked on are:
1. What do you want to learn from this overall experience (after day 1) 2. First impressions of Ua Pau 3. How did Harry Wong's presentation help you understand the script? See you soon! By the way, here again are the instructions for creating and sharing your recordings:
