About the Series
Hula Preservation Society (HPS) has the distinct pleasure of presenting a first-ever Hula Kiʻi Community Education Series July 19-21, 2024, on the island of Oʻahu. Hula Kiʻi is a gem of Hawaiian culture that was almost lost to time and circumstance, and this Series is designed to provide access to learning and experiencing this rare form of storytelling.
Featured at the recent 13th Festival of Pacific Arts & Culture, Hula Kiʻi is a form of ancient hula that uses a puppet and/or your own body to create images and share stories. It lives on in just a handful of lineages, and two of those lines of tradition are featured in this Series.
