hen the performer did the James Brown split, the crowd went nuts. One of the many show-stopping moments during the wrecent UH Hilo production of “Hairspray” was when William Justin Chittams, who goes by his middle name, performed this extremely difficult dance move; it was just icing on the cake because he’d already caught the audience’s attention with his singing voice and overall performance. The amazing theatrical production is over, but you still have a chance to see this rising star. He says he is not planning to leave the Big Island anytime soon, but you should be made aware of him so you can say, “I knew him when...” Justin has been on the Big Island since August of 2008. He is from Washington D.C. and says that he’s able to walk to the Capitol from his house there. What brought him to the Big Island? Since before high school, he was always interested in marine science. He says that he used to watch the discovery channel all the time, and then when he was in high school he got an internship at National Geo- graphic. Eventually he was led here to study marine science. After J WALK J two years in that field, he did something most college students do: He changed his major. Chittams says that when he came here, even as a freshman, he was Photo by J Walk Smith taking music classes just for fun. “I’ve been playing music my whole life and after those two years of marine science, I decided to just switch and do music because I love doing it, and why not try to get a job doing something that you love to do.” Chittams’ two main instruments are the drums and the trombone. He’s been playing both for about fifteen years. He is in a band called N.Y.R., which is a three piece power trio of bass, guitar, and drums. He says you can hear them play at the Hilo Town Tavern, and that in the past they’ve backed such performers as Brittni Paiva. Justin says that what he’d really like to be is a touring musician, “I don’t need to be in the limelight. I don’t need to be the guy to give everybody autographs but I just want to be able to make a living playing music. Touring around the world would be great.” He’s grateful for the music department at UH Hilo. “It’s not a big program; I can really ask teachers to help me. It’s a tight-knit community.” Such a community reaches beyond the boundaries of campus. Chittams loves that he has opportunities to play gigs with his teachers outside of the classroom. He highlights that such inter- action helps nurture his talents and helps foster more of a technical ability in his music. If you saw him perform in Hairspray, as the character Seaweed J. Stubbs, you would have thought he’d been acting for years, maybe professionally. Though, in reality he has little acting experience and says he is not a good dancer. “Mainly I’ve just been playing in the pit for shows.” For Hairspray, he wasn’t going to audition because, with his job and with school, he didn’t feel that he had the time. He says that he went to the audition just to watch. “At the very last minute, people said do it, and so I said, ‘all right.’ So, I went up and I auditioned.” Obvi- ously, he got the part. Though, he says he is not a good dancer, “I kind of didn’t get my act together when it came to the dancing till about maybe a week or two weeks before the show, you know because I was so mechanical.” He knew in his heart that one of the dance numbers in the production needed that James Brown split. “I’m sitting down and thinking, I don’t even know how to do a James Brown split, so I get some of the dance majors at UH to help me actually figure out my dance moves for that scene Photos of “Hairspray” courtesy of because I didn’t know what I was doing and then I tell them, ‘Look, I Christian James Photography ±

This hip opener will test the limits of your strength and flexibility. Even though it requires more effort than a regular splits, it is actu- ally more accessible because you have a greater range of motion when one foot is off the floor. This bigger range of motion requires more effort in stabilizing, therefore strengthening the muscles. To make this pose possible you have to concentrate on the stability in both legs. Even the one that is not touching the floor. You create stability in your body by hugging your muscles to the bones. This gives a clearer awareness of where your legs are in space and how to move them. The adherence of your muscles to your bones is directly related to the amount of focus you have in what you are doing. You are stabilizing your mind to find more freedom in your action. Stand- ing splits will teach you how to put more of yourself into your pose, because it you lose focus for just one breath, then your falling out of it. Make this pose about mind strength. Stay focused with every breath, secure yourself to the moment, testing the range of motion in your life.

We believe in keeping art accessible and affordable for all, but as I have said in the past it’s the generous donations from our community great concerts that bring these great concerts to Volcano.” “We are so excited to have Barry and Ron of HAPA performing and to Volcano.” honoring the great art of Ol`i,” stated Concerts Coordinator David Wallerstein. “Charles’ expertise in`oli, the ancient art of Polynesian chant, is something that we want to celebrate with our elders and pass on to our keiki at Volcano Art Center. Also part of our mission at VAC is to celebrate the Big Island’s own musicians and we have Tiana Malone opening the show. Tiana has won a Big Island Music Award for her CD Single, “Rise to the Thoughts”. I promise a special and moving evening for all that join us.” Wallerstein stated that he expects HAPA and Tiana to sell out again, adding “we hope this wonderful evening will ignite a passion for music in all who attend and maybe inspire a few donations for this beautiful Polynesian art and Volcano Art Center.” From HAPA’s humble beginnings when their self titled critically acclaimed album HAPA which captured all six Na Hoku Hanohano (Hawai’i’s grammys) awards for which it was nominated. To today with the incredible line-up of Barry Flanagan and Ron Kuala`au, HAPA’s bril- liant artistry, musicianship and creativity affirms HAPA’s place among the greatest musicians of Hawaiian Music. HAPA’s music evokes a place that many people at different times have referred to as heavenly. The overriding quality of their music is one of beauty and serenity, found in the majestic tones of oli (chant), mele (song), the elegant moments of the sacred dance known as Hula, and the exhilarating sounds of virtuoso slack key guitar. The groups ground breaking music has established them as one of the most internationally recognized names in Hawaiian music since their debut release, with sold out shows from Honolulu, to Tokyo to New York…and again Volcano. The concert with HAPA will begin at 7 p.m. with $35 tickets available for advance purchase at Volcano Art Center’s Niaulani Campus, at VAC Art Gallery or online at www.volcanoartcenter.org.
