Hula Kahiko featuring Kumu Hula Kahoʻokele Crabbe and Halauokalani
The Volcano Art Center’s Hula Arts at Kīlauea performance series continues on Saturday, June 23rd at 10:30am with a hula kahiko performance featuring Kumu Hula Kahoʻokele Crabbe and Halauokalani. This performance is part of a year-round series sponsored by the Volcano Art Center. For the series, hula hālau from across Hawai‘i are invited to perform each month. This month, the performance will take place in a lovely outdoor setting at VACʻs Niaulani Campus.
After graduating in 1995 at Puʻupueokapu, Waikane, Oʻahu with traditional ʻuniki ceremonies under his teacher kumu hula Robert Cazimero, kumu hula Moses Kahoʻokele Crabbe founded Halauolaokalani in 1999. He is an educator, advocate and support for our greatest community asset – our beloved keiki o ka `aina. His motto is simple:
“Aloha trumps everything in man’s world because God is love.”
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.
The performance will take place at the Ni‘aulani Campus of the Volcano Art Center in Volcano Village, due to the ongoing closure of Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park.
These free events are supported in part by a grant from the Hawaiʻi Tourism Authority, the County of Hawaiʻi Department of Research and Development and individual funding from members of the Volcano Art Center’s ʻohana.
