Halau o Keikiali’i, led by Kumu Kawika Alfiche, is a traditional Hawaiian cultural group and world-renowned performing troupe based in San Francisco. Since 1994, the group’s goal has been to educate the general public about the rich culture of the Hawaiian people and about Hawaii’s traditional customs, values and protocols. As part of their weeklong residency, the company presented a public midday muse and led a hula and lei-making workshop. Their final performance, The Offering, is a music and dance program that will highlight the deep and old connections between New England and Hawaii, including a historic visit to Wellesley by a Hawaiian queen in the 1800s.
