SCHEDULE OF EVENTS:

STUDENT PEACE POSTER CONTEST
This year's theme, "Together for Peace," echoes the United Nations' theme for Peace Day this year. Cash prizes will be awarded to the winners in various categories. Open to all ages, all grades, all school students and homeschoolers. Details and entry forms are available at  www.peacedayparade.org. Or contact Alicia Glover at 808-724-3373,  heavenonearthgirl@gmail.com.  Free.

199,000 CRANES
The Peace Committee has reached its goal of gathering a "flock" of 199,000 origami cranes, one representing each victim of the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. They are now working on a  unique three-dimensional interactive exhibition of the cranes, to share with the public as part of the Peace Day events. Still in the planning stages with a community of artists and creatives, the ultimate goal is to take the exhibit to Hiroshima as a gift.  Extra hands are welcome to string the cranes in groups of 50: at the Hawaiian Cultural Center of Hāmākua on First Friday, at Hāmākua Harvest, 10 a.m.-12 p.m., and September 22, 7-9 p.m. at Sea Dandelion Cafe ($10 dinner special).

CHALK THE WALK

WINE AT 5
Friday, September 22, 5 p.m. at Cafe Il Mondo. The Blue Zones' concept of "Wine at 5" suggests that people live longer when they take time out of their schedule to de-stress and enjoy socializing with friends in the community with good food and a relaxing drink. Cafe Il Mondo supports this concept with a special edition of their daily "Wine @ $5," offering three select wines for $5 each, from 5-6 p.m., plus free samplings of wines from Blue Zones regions of the world, while they last.  Entertainment will include the New Dharma Band as well as local favorites Sergio Ramirez and Robin Jensen.

Dance Collective
9:30pm
Location: UHH  Performing Arts Center

It is with great pleasure and honor that we announce the second Dance Collective concert. What might have remained just a singular sensation has turned into a sequel of sorts due to the overwhelmingly positive response from the participants and attendees of last year's event.

Many of you came out to support not only the extraordinarily talented and hardworking dancers and choreographers who graced the stage, but also the message behind the show: that of creating a strong, vibrant and cohesive dance community in which everyone could participate.

So here we are with another diverse show, excited to continue building upon that message.  

This show features a range of new and established dancers and choreographers from Island Dance Academy, Paradise Performing Arts Center, Center Stage Dance Alliance, N2 Dance and UH Hilo Dance department to name but a few.

The proceeds from this event will go toward providing dance opportunities for our island community and perpetuating this event.

For those who came last time, we hope to see you again. For everyone else, we hope that you will join us in this year's Dance Collective!

Special Restrictions: Tickets are open seating $20 General, $10 UHH/HCC Student/Child
Please call the UH Hilo Performing Arts Center Box Office at 932-7490, Tuesday - Friday 10am-2pm or order online at artscenter.uhh.hawaii.edu

Shank's Mare

October 4th @ 7:30 pm
Location: UHH Performing Arts Center.
The story of two wandering travelers whose paths intersect in time and space. Using traditional Kuruma Ningyo puppetry, video projection and live music, the piece explores themes of life and death and how tradition is passed on.

In the piece, a medieval astronomer and his assistant track a comet across the heavens; a swordsman turns bandit out of grief. All wander up mountains, into snowstorms and eventually, through time. To the sounds of hammer dulcimer and flute, a golden goddess occasionally sends down emissaries, like the enormous wooden stag who fixes the audience with her black gaze. A complicated scale model set, filmed and projected as live scenery, turns the stage into a cabinet of wonders.

"You simply won't see better puppetry anywhere nor a tighter braiding of methods old and new nor artists working so confidently at the peak of their craft." Helen Shaw, TIME OUT NY

This project received support from The State Foundation on Culture and the Arts; WESTAF, the Western States Arts Federation; and the National Endowment for the Arts.
