Fakanau
A ''fakanau'' (meaning "spells") is a traditional Tuvaluan male dance, accompanied by singing and rhythmic clapping.
''Fakanau'' singing and dancing are typical of Niutao and Nukufetau islands of Tuvalu, formerly known as the Ellice Islands, a group of nine low-lying coral islands in the central Pacific that are inhabited by Polynesian people. ''Fakanau'' is described as having "a tune that is between speech and singing () was performed while dancers are standing on their feet." Examples include ''Te onge ne tupu ia Kiollli'', ''Neutuakina te vao i napanapa'',〔 and ''Ko na fakanau nei e kamata ifo mai gauta oi fakaholo atu ai ki gatai kafai te vaka e hoho ifo ki gatai.'' Other dances within the genre include the ''mako'', the ''fakaseasea'', the ''fatele'', the ''lue'', the ''sea'', and the ''oga''.
==Form==
Male dancers performed around a circle, in a sitting position with arms, hands and upper body gestures, and all of them singing. An old dance master, at the center of the circle, kept the rhythm. In Niutao, however, the dances were performed in standing or kneeling positions.〔 ''Fakanau'', and ''fakaseasea'' another form of singing and dancing performed by Tuvaluans, were specifically composed as remembrance of the rule of an "''aliki or toa''" and in praise of canoe building, house construction and fishing, apart from their bravery and wealth. Events were performed for a celebrity of the community and after gaining their permission, the ''Fakanau'' or ''fakaseasea'' songs were specially composed and the dances choreographed by dancers. The singing and dancing in praise of the celebrity was performed in the presence of their family and relatives; food and other items collected for the occasion were in turn presented by the celebrity, who honored the composer and dance performers.〔 A common practice during a ''Fakanau'' is to call out spells, invocations, or beckonings. Faster than the ''fakaseasea'' and modern ''fatele'', the dance was performed for entertainment and for ceremonies conducted in the ''faleaitu''. However, the ''Fakanau'' would be performed in fragments during the night rather than just one dance. The content of the dances has been described as "incantations in fishing, a kind of dramatic monologue — calling to the fish, pleading, charming, even abusing — as moods are acted out."
