Spring Community Week: Ola Ka Huakaʻihele o Hiʻiaka Fashion Show

Culture. Identity. Fashion. Lifestyle. Brought to you by Dancers Unlimited and sponsored by Peridance and VERSD, from May 22nd – May 27th, join us at the Spring Community Week to celebrate AAPI history, culture and more on the dance floor!

As we celebrate culture and identity this year, Dancers Unlimited has invited designer Kauila Kanakaʻole, great-grandson of a legendary Hawaiian family of hula and chant practitioners, to create the story and designs of the fashion show. This show combines fashion and movement to tell a story of a people who are being silenced and lied about, revealing the real truths of where they began and what they stand on.

Fashion and live performance art connect hand in hand in this earnest yet cultural storytelling beginning with the telling of the origins then onto the reclamation and then concluding in which the audience is invited to chant, dance, and feel the vibration of Hawaiian culture as well as how it is connected to the land and space we live on.

Ola Ka Huakaʻihele o Hiʻiaka (Becoming Hiʻiaka)
