Pohaku (the Hawaiian word 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 universal themes that are compelling in the story of Hawaii’s native people, including land loss and fractured identity.
