Pohaku (Hawaiian for stone) is a dance-theater piece inspired by Morgan’s exposure to the work of his late cousin, hula master John Kaimikaua and Morgan’s own multi-racial Hawaiian/Asian/Caucasian identity. The work will incorporate Hawaiian chant, hula, contemporary dance, theater, and storytelling to explore compelling universal themes in the story of Hawaii’s native people, including land loss and fractured identity. The project will premiere in Fall 2015 at Dance Place and tour to Maui Arts & Cultural Center in 2016. Estimated artist fee: $15-,00018,000/performance, $22,000/week.
