Hula Kahiko at Volcano Art Center feat. Kumu Haʻamauliola Aiona with Ke Kula o Nawahiokalaniʻopuʻu Public Charter School
Saturday, November 17 at 10:30am
Featuring Kumu Haʻamauliola Aiona with Ke Kula ʻO Nāwahīokalaniʻōpuʻu Public Charter School
At Nāwahī PCS, Kumu Aiona has established a Holistic Hawaiian Language Fine & Performing Arts Program called Māhuʻilani. The focus of this program is sharing the traditional arts of hula instrument creation, ʻohe kāpala, hula, oli and hana keaka or theatre performance. Māhuʻilani shares the students’ various artistic creations through community classes, demonstrations, exhibitions, and hula dramas all through the Hawaiian Language.
This performance is part of a year-round series sponsored by the Volcano Art Center. For the series, hula hālau from across Hawai`i and beyond are invited to perform each month in a one-of-a-kind outdoor setting at the kahua hula (platform) in the Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park.
This presentation will be presented authentically in an outdoor setting, rain or shine without electronic amplification. Audience members are encouraged to bring sun/rain gear and sitting mats.
