Na Lei Hulu I Ka Wekiu
with Na Lei Hulu I Ka Wekieu

July 09 2005, 8:00 PM The hit of our 2001 and 2002 seasons, the Bay Area’s award winning Hula company led by the charismatic Patrick Makuakane, returns for two evenings of spectacular performances. This company has been hailed for its commitment to the traditions of Hawaii while creating a new look for Hula - Hula Mua. This distinctive new style builds on Hula’s traditional foundation but is danced to a full range of non-traditional music forms from Opera to techno. Sunday evening’s performance is honor of Japanese American Cultural & Community Center's 25th anniversary.

Grand Performances summer series takes place on two stages at California Plaza the Watercourt stage and the Marina Pavilion. The larger of the two venues - the Watercourt stage - is a unique performance site that can hold as many as 70 performers and is partially surrounded by a system of gardens and water features.

This unique outdoor venue is the only one of its kind in Southern California. First-time evening attendees are often mesmerized by this extraordinary location - cradled between two high-rise towers, with water features (including the Watercourt) and the night time sky as a beautiful, natural canopy.
