WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Ma-Yi Theater Company presents Keo Woolford's I Land, directed by Roberta Uno, with choreography by hip-hop star Rokafella

Performed and written by acclaimed actor, former boy band star, and Merrie Monarch Award-winning hula dancer Keo Woolford, I Land weaves together hula, hip-hop, traditional Hawaiian talk story, and spoken word. Woolford's semi-autobiographical journey navigates the many worlds where hula lives: from backyard parties to Hollywood kitsch to the realm of the sacred. Along the way, islands -- separated by geography and culture -- collide: a hotel hula show and conservatory audition; a Catholic high school and an evangelical church service; a moment of pop stardom and the opportunity to learn from a hula master.

Keo Woolford is a hula dancer. However, he doesn't fit the stereotypical image of girls wearing leis and grass skirts, undulating for tourists' amusement. In his solo show I Land, he presents an alternative vision of the hula, one that comes from a proud native Hawaiian tradition. The show -- directed by Roberta Uno and presented by the Ma-Yi Theater Company -- is a semi-autobiographical tale that is informative and engaging, albeit a little uneven.
The writer/performer chronicles his first exposure to the hula and how he came under the instruction of his idol, whom he dubs the "Hula god." He also describes his fleeting brush with fame as a member of a boy band that almost hits the big tim[...]
