Hula Voices featuring Manaiakalani Kalua
August 2, 2018 | 5-6pm
VAC Ni‘aulani Campus in Volcano Village
Volcano Art Center’s 2018 Hula Voices series will continue on July 5 with special guest kumu hula Manaiakalani Kalua and moderator Desiree Moana Cruz.
Born and raised in Keaukaha, Kumu Kalua graduated from Kamehameha School in 1996 and received a BA in Hawaiian Studies in 2002 from Ka Haka ʻUla ʻo Keʻelikolani at UH-Hilo. He has been an instructor at Hawaiʻi Community College in the Hawaiian Life Styles-program, since 2003. His hālau, Akaunu opened in 2012 and is closely tied to the traditions of UNUKUPUKUPU and Hālau O Kekuhi.
Each month, Hula Voices presents an engaging, intimate “talk story” session with Hawai‘i Island’s hula practitioners, as they share their hula genealogy, traditions, protocols and experiences. These free, educational offerings occur regularly on the first Thursday of each month, from 5- 6pm at the Volcano Art Center Gallery in Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park.
Please join VAC in celebrating the Hula Arts at Kīlauea. Hula Voices is 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.
