Dancing At The Source! Treasuring the Legacy
August 17th – September 8th, 2024
at VAC’s Niaulani Campus in Volcano Village
An exhibition of imagery from VAC’s Heritage and Archive Program (HAP) focused on VAC’s history of dance. In honor of VAC’s 50th Anniversary year, the exhibition shares iconic photographs by Boone Morrison and other celebrated photographers, spanning from 1974 – 1985. The historical exhibit also features films sharing the innovative spirit of past Volcano Art Center Dance Retreats. The exhibition focuses on the evolution of modern dance on Hawai’i Island and highlights the founder of the Dance program at the University of Hawai’i, Hilo, Earnest T. Morgan (1947-1992). Both Morgan and Trina Nahm-Mijo, founder of the Dance program at Hawai‘i Community Collage, started the first modern dance company in the state of Hawai’i called “Dance O Hawai‘i” and coordinated summer dance retreats in the creative environment of Volcano for many years. The Volcano Art Center is pleased to share these images through its Heritage and Archive Program (HAP), funded in part by the Hawaiʻi State Grant In Aid (GIA) Program. The Exhibit will be on display Wednesdays – Sundays, 10am -4pm at VACʻs Niaulani Campus (19-4074 Old Volcano Rd. ) in Volcano Village. Call (808) 967-8222 for more information.
