Harbor Gallery hosts reception this evening for Kristi Kranz

Harbor Gallery in Kawaihae will be hosting a reception from 6 to 8 p.m. this evening for Big Island artist Kristi Kranz.

Kranz is a longtime resident whose passion for painting is inspired by the natural beauty around her. Her silk wall hangings, framed paintings and shoji screens depict luminous visions of lush hideaways, waterfalls, lily ponds, native flowers, hula dancers and playful honu, as well as powerful images of Pele and the spiritual side of Hawaiian culture.

“I have this space where I’m not looking for anything, just painting, where stuff slips down from the universe, through me and onto my silk, and it brings me the most joy I’ve ever felt. My sweet spot,” she says about her creations.

Almost all of Kranz’s pieces are one-of-a-kind originals, but she has produced a limited number of giclee prints of a few of the images. She feels that prints do not do the medium justice, since light plays such an important part in the translucent images, brightening the colors in a way that prints on a flat surface cannot attain.

Refreshments and light pupus will be served during the reception. Harbor Gallery is open daily from 11:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m.

KS Hawaii Hoike tells stories of 2 19th century alii

Kamehameha Schools Hawaii campus will present the school’s 14th annual Hoike on Thursday and Friday, March 17, at Koaia Gymnasium in Keaau.

For this year’s production, KS Hawaii will present Ka Iu O Hoku, a historical fiction work based on two plays by the late Clarence Waipa, a retired music teacher from St. Joseph School and former choir director of Hilo Seventh-day Adventist Church, First United Protestant Church, Kamehameha Schools Alumni Chorus of Hilo and Sing Out Hilo.

Ka Iu O Hoku involves two 19th century alii related not only through blood, but through the common fate of being both heirs to throne of the Hawaiian Kingdom but never able to reign.

The first act is taken from Waipa’s play “Almost a King,” and examines the life of William Pitt Leleiohoku II, brother to Kalakaua and Liliuokalani, during his early 20s. His story showcases his romantic side through song and hula as he courts a young Margaret Rice, a non-Hawaiian. His hanai mother, Princess Ruth Keelikolani, and his royal sister, Lydia (later known as Liliuokalani) both try to offer him advice on becoming a king and navigating his politically challenging romance. But Leleiohokus joie de vivre and optimistic attitude will not be dampened by royal convention.

The second act, taken from Waipa’s play “Kaiulani,” covers the life of the princess as seen through the eyes of close friend and confidant Robert Louis Stevenson. Her story paints a picture of the queen-to-be from her beginnings as a precocious child to a young woman who confronts the American government to restore her kingdom.

The combined plays have been given the title Ka Iu O Hoku by junior Kuuhiapo Jeong. In English, it is roughly translated “the highest of the star/the sky.” Both Kaiulani and Leleiohoku were viewed as the highest and most important people at that time (when the Hawaiian Kingdom was at the brick of annexation) as heirs to the throne. The title also cleverly combines their two names.

Ka Iu O Hoku celebrates the lives of both of these alii through mele and hula, performed in the tradition of Kamehameha Schools Hawaii Hoike, as an all-school production involving the entire student body. Music for both plays include music of the time period by and written for the alii portrayed.

Doors for the two evening performances will open at 5 p.m. and the production starts at 6 p.m. Tickets are $15 for floor seats and $10 for bleacher seats. Tickets are available at https://connect.pauahi.org/2017-ksh-hoike or at the High School Administration Office from 3 to 4 p.m. from today and March 13-15. Tickets will also be available at the door on the night of the performance.

KDEN’s ‘Murder on the Nile’ opens March 17

Kilauea Drama and Entertainment Network’s third Agatha Christie murder mystery, “Murder on the Nile,” opens March 17.

The story takes place on a paddleboat steamer going down the Nile between Shellal and Wadi Halfa. Simon Mostyn and his rich, beautiful wife Kay are on their honeymoon. Simon’s former love, Jacqueline has been following them throughout their journey.

There are a “bevy of memorable characters,” including Kay’s guardian, Canon Pennefather, who all play a part in the mystery. When Jackie gets hysterical and shoots Simon in the leg, an audacious conspiracy is revealed, everything is questioned, and eventually the criminals are caught.

“Agatha Christie is so much fun to do. There are so many twists in the plot and one must pay very close attention to understand the ending. Having done so many Gilbert and Sullivan operettas, we realized her mysteries are a lot like Gilbert and Sullivan without music,” says Director Suzi Bond.

The cast is led by Hayley Pereira and Stephen Bond as Kay and Simon Mostyn, with Stephanie Becher as Jacqueline, and Ray Ryan as Canon Pennefather. Supporting characters are Lezleigh Bignami as Aunt Helen, Erin Smith as Christina, Mark Rawlings as Smith, Barbara Johnson as Louise and Steve Peyton as Dr. Bessner. Also appearing in the show are Lowden Borgens, Carol Denecker and Roch Jones.

Performaces are March 17 through April 2 and are at 7:30 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays and 2:30 p.m. on Sundays at Kilauea Theater.

Tickets prices are $15 for general admission, $12 seniors and students and $10 for children younger than age 12. They are available at Kilauea General Store, Keaau Natural Foods, the Most Irresistible Shop and at the door.

Film screenings

Dramatic operas, ballet to be screened in Kailua-Kona

Giuseppe Verdi’s drama of passionate love, “La Traviata,” will be shown in HD, live from the great stage of the Metropolitan Opera on Saturday in Kailua-Kona.

Violetta Valery, a beautiful courtesan, the sought-after toast of Paris, has kept her heart free as she tells us in splendid aria, “Sempre libera.” Then (alas for her), she encounters Alfredo Germont (Michael Fabiano). His ardent heart wins Valery (Carmen Giannattasio), and she gives up all to live an idyll with him.

Before long, however, his father, Giorgio Germont (Thomas Hampson) arrives in anger. He has arranged a marriage for young Alfredo and also fears that the scandal of the liaison with Violetta will thwart the engagement of Alfredo’s innocent and pure sister. The old count expects Violetta to be a heartless mercenary woman but finds — after much misunderstanding, many hurtful accusations, and tempestuous confusion— that the frail, ill Violetta not only has given up all for Alfredo but nobly will give up even more. Too late, the father and son discover Violetta’s true nature and in some of opera’s most tragic music, express their remorse.

On March 25, Kona opera lovers can hear Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s “Idomeneo,” a tale of what happens when a refugee from defeated Troy, Princess Ilia, daughter of most royal Priam, encounters the young Prince of Crete, the handsome Idamante. Love quickly blossoms only to be quickly endangered. The King of Crete, Idomeneo, caught in a gale at sea, vows to sacrifice to Neptune the first creature he encounters if he reaches shore safely. This turns out to be his son, Idamante. An Athenian Princess, Elettra, in love herself with Idamante and harboring no kindly feelings toward the Trojan refugees, makes things even more fraught.

Both operas will be shown at the Stadium 10 Regal Theater at the Makalapua Center in Kailua-Kona. Both performances start at 12:55 p.m. with doors opening around 12:30. Tickets, which are available from the theater box office or through www.fathomevents.com, are $22 for seniors and $24 for others. Encore performances for both operas will be shown at 7 p.m. the following Wednesday.

On March 19, live from Moscow, the Bolshoi Ballet performs “A Contemporary Evening.” This pairs three contemporary composers with three contemporary choreographers and the superbly trained Bolshoi dancers. The evening will be a treat for those who want to explore beyond the exquisite but somewhat formulaic classic ballets. Expect somewhat edgy choreography and great music, where the performers bring the best of the older forms into distinctively modern settings. The performance is likely appropriate for audiences at least 18 years of age and older.

Tickets, which are available at the box office at the Stadium 10 Regal Theater and www.fathomevents.com, are $16 for seniors and $19 for all others. The performance begins at 12:55 p.m.

‘Beauty and the Beast’ to be screened in Naalehu

Workshops & classes

‘Exploring Tunnel Books’ offered at Volcano Art Center

Charlene Asato will lead a bookbinding workshop titled “Exploring Tunnel Books” on March 25 at Volcano Art Center’s Niaulani Campus in Volcano Village.

A tunnel book is made up of pages bound by accordion folds on both sides and are “read” through a hole in the cover, and a cutout in each page, allowing all pages to be seen at once, front to back. This creates an illusion of depth and perception. The images on each page work together to form a three-dimensional scene inside the book that helps to tell a story.

Prior bookbinding experience is not necessary, nor is tunnel vision or accordion skills.

Asato pursues book arts, paper arts, photography, calligraphy and doll arts. Her books have been featured in many juried shows, locally, nationally and internationally and some have won awards.

Cost is $32 VAC members and $35 for nonmembers, in addition to a $10 materials fee.

Announcements

APAC fundraising gala March 18

Aloha Performing Arts Company will hold its annual major fundraising gala on March 18 at the Aloha Theatre in Kainaliu.

This year’s event, “Superstars of APAC,” gets underway at 6 p.m. and will feature fine wine, local beers, and gourmet pupus, as well as two acts of entertainment featuring APAC volunteer performers.

The annual gala event helps APAC continue to provide quality live theater productions and educational opportunities to the West Hawaii community.

Tickets are $85 and can be purchased online at www.alohatheatre.com, or by phone from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Friday.

Artists in the Schools grant applications due

The Hawaii State Foundation on Culture and the Arts is now accepting Artists in the Schools grant applications for the 2017-18 school year. There is a new category of funding for select neighbor island schools.

All public schools, including public charter schools, may apply for grants of up to $6,000 per school for artist residencies to be conducted during the 2017-18 school year. Schools must contribute 10 percent of the grant amount received, in cash, towards residency expenses. AITS grants are meant to enhance a school’s fine arts curriculum, not supplant it.

The new funding specifically for neighbor island schools requires the school to have an HSFCA Art in Public Places commissioned work of art on campus that was installed after 1993. Included Hawaii Island schools are: Ernest B. De Silva Elementary, Haaheo Elementary, Kalanianaole Elementary and Intermediate, Ka’u High and Pahala Elementary, Keaau High, Kealakehe High, Kohala Elementary, Pahoa High and Intermediate, and Waikoloa Elementary.

The grant program provides students with an engaging, creative and fun learning experience based on the fine arts standards through residencies with teaching artists. Many of these artists integrate their art form with other core curriculum areas, such as language arts, math, social studies and science, meeting both fine arts and other core standards.

The grant application must be completed online. Interested schools should visit (sfca.hawaii.gov) for more details. Applications are due by 4 p.m. May 2.

The Hawaii State Foundation on Culture and the Arts was founded in 1965 as the official arts agency of the state of Hawaii. Its mission is to promote, perpetuate, preserve and encourage culture and the arts as central to the quality of life of the people of Hawaii. The Art in Public Places Collection of the HSFCA began in 1967 after the state Legislature passed the Art-in-State-Buildings Law, setting aside 1 percent of construction and renovation costs of state buildings to acquire and commission works of visual art that beautify and humanize the built environment.
