Volcano Art Center’s 2018 Hula Kahiko series continues 10:30-11:30 a.m. Saturday (April 14) with a performance by kumu Kini Ka‘awa with the haumana of Kua O Ka La Public Charter School of Pahoa.
This year-round series features hula halau from throughout Hawaii each month in a one-of-a-kind setting at the kahua hula (platform) in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. These performances are presented authentically in an outdoor setting, rain or shine, without electronic amplification. Audience members are encouraged to bring sun/rain gear and sitting mats.
In conjunction with the hula kahiko performance, join Kumu hula Moses Kaho‘okele Crabbe with Halauolaokalani on the lanai of the Volcano Art Center Gallery as they share with you “Na Mea Hula” (all things hula).
Learn a hula, use various hula implements and try your hand at lei making. Experience the different aspects that play an integral role in the life of the hula dancer.
These cultural demonstrations are hands-on and family friendly and occur from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. the day of Hula Kahiko performances.
These events are free to attend, but national park entrance fees apply.
