Hawaii Tribune-Herald Island Beat Thursday, June 22, 2017 3 Kalima bringing hula halau to VAC The Volcano Art Center’s 2017 Hula Kahiko series continues at 10:30 a.m. Saturday with a performance by Hula Halau O Kou Lima Nani ‘E under the direction of kumu hula Iwalani Kalima. Hula Halau O Kou Lima Nani ‘E was founded in 1986 to coordinate cultural education programs that benefit Hawaii communities. Students in the halau range from keiki (children) to kupuna (elders) and are taught all aspects of the hula tradition, including the practice of traditional Hawaiian values. This year, the halau competed in the Merrie Monarch Festival hula competition. Kalima was born and raised in Keaukaha Homestead in Hilo. Her hula roots stem back from her great-grandmother, Kapeka, who was a chanter for Queen Lili‘uokalani, and her grandfather, Joseph Nohea Kalima Sr., who composed the famous mele “Hilo Hula.” Iwalani Kalima began dancing at the age of 8, under the direction of Uncle George Lanakilakeikiahiali‘ i Na‘ope. She graduated (‘uniki) and received her na kumu palapala in 1982. Through the tutelage of Uncle George and her family’s upbringing, she developed a deep love for her culture and now devotes her time to continue the preservation of hula. 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. The performance is free but national park entrance fees might apply. The Volcano Art Center is a nonprofit educational organization created in 1974 to promote, develop and perpetuate the artistic and cultural heritage of Hawaii’s people and environment through activities in the visual, literary and performing arts.
