Unukupukupu Performance


Experience the dynamic hula performance of Unukupukupu under the stars at our evening series, 'Imiloa After Dark, on Friday, October 11th at 7 pm. This intimate performance reflects the heartbeat of Hawai'i through the sacred expressions of hula, rekindling the knowledge that we are all 'Ohana.

Unukupukupu, which means "Shrine of Ferns (Rooted in Fresh Lava)," is an earth-centric hula group from Hawai'i Community College (HawCC) that aims to bring an awareness of the role and the spirit of hula as a sacred dance into a modern global context. Unukupukupu provides a foundation for the promotion of environmental kinship in and beyond Hawai'i, doing so within the context of modern lifestyles.


"Our traditional myths together with our scientific DNA postures one simple truth: we are all connected, and Unukupukupu is about fueling these connections to ensure that the human spirit continues to pulse and function in the face of modernity," states Dr. Taupouri Tangaro, director of Unukupukupu.
