Spring Community Week: Hula Performance with Ka Pā Hula O Laʻakea

Join Kumu Hula ʻAuliʻi Aweau-Teves and Ka Pā Hula O Laʻakea and take a journey to Hawaiʻi through Hula. The performance will reflect personal/collective healing, Hawaiian history, storytelling, genealogy, traditional/contemporary hula, and oli (chanting).

A kanaka Hawaiian born and raised in Hawai’i, Kumu ‘Auli’i Aweau-Teves grew up studying the Hula as a tool for cultural resilience and personal awakening. She combines her background in substance abuse counseling with Hawaiian cultural practices to address generational and personal trauma. ‘Auli’i is the Founder and Kumu of Ka Pā Hula O Laʻakea, a Hula school that promotes collective healing through Hula. Established in January of 2013, her initial vision was to create a culturally-based women and childrenʻs support group on Oʻahu that focused on healing through hula. Over the years, that vision would grow and expand to reach neighbor islands, the Continental US and include numerous collaboration efforts with other kumu hula and cultural practitioners.
