"It is the first book on the Festival, which is the largest gathering of Oceania's finest dancers, singers, performers, carvers and other cultural practitioners. The Festival has been held every four years since 1972 at a venue in the Pacific. “Pasefika” is based on my photography at the 10th Festival of Pacific Arts, which was held in American Samoa in 2008. More than 2,000 performers representing some 23 Pacific nations and territories attended the event. The book is designed to give the reader the sense of being an intimate part of the Festival. The photographs, 88 in all, take you to performing venues, "backstage" where costumed performers are preparing to go on stage, at fashion shows featuring traditional and contemporary attire, at community events held for visiting dancers, and at the dramatic fire-knife dance competition staged with some of the best Samoan fire-knife dancers. There are photographs of performers from places as diverse as Papua New Guinea, Tonga, Samoa, Tahiti, Kiribati, Tokelau, Guam, Niue, Fiji, American Samoa and Palau." --Website.

The quadrennial festival is hosted by a different island nation every year, and in 2008 for the 10th festival, the host was American Samoa (pacartsas.com).

This anthology is dedicated to those artists and includes the writings of some of the Pacific Islander poets and playwrights who attended/"--Introduction.

Meke, a traditional rhythmic dance accompanied by singing, signifies an important piece of identity for Fijians. Despite its complicated history of colonialism, racism, censorship, and religious conflict, meke remained a vital part of artistic expression and culture. Evadne Kelly performs close readings of the dance in relation to an evolving landscape, following the postcolonial reclamation that provided dancers with political agency and a strong sense of community that connected and fractured Fijians worldwide. Through extensive archival and ethnographic fieldwork in both Fiji and Canada, Kelly offers key insights into an underrepresented dance form, region, and culture. Her perceptive analysis of meke will be of interest in dance studies, postcolonial and Indigenous studies, anthropology and performance ethnography, and Pacific Island studies.

This book examines the relationships between theatrical representations and socio-political aspects of Rapa Nui culture from pre-colonial times to the present. This is the first book written about the production of Rapa Nui theatre, which is understood as a unique and culturally distinct performance tradition. Using a multilingual approach, this book journeys through Oceania, reclaiming a sense of connection and reflecting on synergies between performances of Oceanic cultures beyond imagined national boundaries. The author argues for a holistic and inclusive understanding of Rapa Nui theatre as encompassing and being inspired by diverse aspects of Rapa Nui performance cultures, festivals, and art forms. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of Indigenous studies, Pacific Island studies, performance, anthropology, theatre education and Rapa Nui community, especially schoolchildren from the island who are learning about their own heritage.

Processes of globalization, economic restructuring and urban redevelopment have placed events at the centre of strategies for change in cities. Events offer the potential to achieve economic, social, cultural and environmental outcomes within broader urban development strategies. This volume: * analyzes the process of cultural event development, management and marketing and links these processes to their wider cultural, social and economic context * provides a unique blend of practical and academic analysis, with a selection of major events and festivals in cities where ‘eventfulness’ has been an important element of development strategy * examines the reasons why different stakeholders should collaborate, as well as the reasons why cities succeed or fail to develop events and become eventful Eventful Cities evaluates theoretical perspectives and links theory and practice through case studies of cities and events across the world. Critical success factors are identified which can help to guide cities and regions to develop event strategies. This book is essential reading for any undergraduate or graduate student and all practitioners and policy-makers involved in event management, cultural management, arts administration, urban studies, cultural studies and tourism.
