This performance is part of a year-round series sponsored by the Volcano Art Center at the Pa Hula (hula platform) near the Volcano Art Center Gallery in Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park.  

Kumu Kini Kaʻawa has been an Hawaiian educator in public and private schools for 20 years.  This is her third year as the Kumu ʻŌlelo (language), ʻIke (cultural) and Hula (dance) Hawaiʻi at Kua O Ka Lā, NCPCS, working with students from grades K to 12th, as well as teacher professional development and ʻohana engagement projects.  She continues to instruct traditional hula, create contemporary hula, and evolve hula into the classroom as a means to instruct school standards of various subjects. 

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.

These free events are supported in part by a grant from the County of Hawaiʻi Department of Research and Development and the Hawaiʻi Tourism Authority and individual funding from members of the Volcano Art Center’s ʻohana.
