Hawaiian Celebration: Na Lei Hulu I Ka Wekiu - A Feast of Hula
(August 15-16) - Na Lei Hula I Ka Wekiu ("the many feathered wreaths at the summit, held in high esteem") makes its New York debut and its first appearance on the East Coast with two breathtaking evenings of dance. Based in San Francisco, this 51-member group focuses on ancient Hawaiian tradition and spiritual expression, while, at the same time, showcasing hula as a living and evolving art form. The women's hula is very dream-like, while the men's is fierce and warrior-like. Patrick Makuakane, the Kumu Hula, or company director serves as choreographer and provides the only music for the live performances: chanting.
** As part of its historic New York debut, Na Lei Hula I Ka Wekiu will also present a special lecture/demonstration on Thursday, August 17, at 3 PM, in the Bruno Walter Auditorium of the New York Library of the Performing Arts, Dorothy and Lewis B. Cullman Center.

Hi Jim,
Unfortunately, I will be away for the weekend. My only chance is to get in Monday if my schedule permits. If you want to meet up, drop me an email. |
