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.
Performance included in the Queens Botanic Garden Entry fee: $3.05 - $7.29 (including fees).

In celebration of Pride Month we will be showing Hawaiian two spirit short films, one being “Kapaemahu”. It is a Hawaiian story celebrating the two spirits who made a great impact on the island and the people.
Long ago, four extraordinary individuals of dual male and female spirit brought the healing arts from Tahiti to Hawaii. The name of their leader was Kapaemahu. Beloved by the people for their gentle ways and miraculous cures, they imbued four giant boulders with their powers. The stones still stand on what is now Waikiki Beach, but the true story behind them has been hidden - until now.
