“Everything that touches on Hawaiian culture
is found in hula.”

-Kumu Hula Hōkūlani Holt
MACC Cultural Progams Director



_________________________

The second-ever World Conference on Hula took place on Maui in 2005, including workshops, classes, excursions to Maui’s special places, and evening hula and chant performances for hula practitioners. More than 1200 participants from around the world attended. Some of the most renowned names in Hawaiian culture — including Maui’s own Hōkūlani Holt and Keali‘i Reichel, as well as Pualani Kanaka'ole Kanahele, Kekuhi Kanahele Frias, and Leina‘ala Heine Kalama — shared their knowledge throughout the week and provided in-depth learning of Hawaiian cultural skills.

Commissioned by MACC.
Kahekili was made possible by the National Endowment for the Arts American Masterpiece: Dance Initiative, administered by the New England Foundation for the Arts.
