San Diego Mesa College Art Gallery, October 1, 7 PM
"Hula of Ancient Hawai`i" performed by Kumu Hula Kapena Malulani Perez and Halau Hula 'O Malulani at the closing event of San Diego Mesa College Art Gallery's exhibit "EXPANDING-EEL-DEVOURER from THE GREAT FISH CHANGING SKIES by Alexander Lee with Keith Moore and Juliana Snapper Thursday, October 1, 2009, 7 pm In front of San Diego Mesa College Art Gallery (Art Gallery courtyard) Powerful, graceful, and engaging, the dance company of Halau Hula `O Malulani offers a rare look into hula kahiko--the ancient dances of Hawai`i. Students will experience the authentic instruments, chants, and dances of Hawai`i and the perpetuity of hula as a living art form. The performance of this discipline is in striking contrast to much of what has been popularized as Hawaiian, offering instead, the simplicity, natural dignity, and diversity of Hawai`i itself—a culture that extends far beyond the boundaries of race and geographical location.
