From the Horse’s Mouth – Hawai’i is a live dance/theater concert in which thirty leading dance professionals from Hawai‘i collaborate, each telling a story from their life, performing their own dance sequence, and interacting with the other participating artists.  New York-based choreographers Tina Croll and Jamie Cunningham will work with the Hawai‘i dance experts to create this once-in-a-lifetime show.

From the Horse’s Mouth is a celebration that has received standing ovations for its captivating story-telling and exceptional dancing, with rave reviews from critics in the United States and Canada. In each production, 30 selected performers – outstanding dancers and choreographers of all ages and all dance traditions – tell personal stories from their lives, and perform movement of their own choosing - first alone, and then in interaction with other dancers. The stories range from humorous to poignant and reveal personal moments of loss, joy, frustration, and triumph.

Hawaii artists participating include: Vicky Takamine (Hula), Michael Pili Pang (Hula), Derek Daniels (Tahitian), Cheryl Nakasone Penhart (Okinawan), Yukie Shiroma (Okinawan/Mask), Mary Jo Freshley (Korean), Diane Letoto (Chinese), Rose Sutabutra (Thai), Sonja Sironen (Bharatanatym) Mestre Kinha (Capoeira), Carmen Linhares (Samba), Eve Walstrum Sanders (Ballet), Celia Chun (Ballet), Marie Takazawa (Ballet and Jazz), Chansri Green (Ballet), Cheryl Flaharty (Butoh-based Contemporary), Gregg Lizenbery (Modern), Betsy Fisher (Modern), Peter Espiritu (Hula-based Modern), Jennifer Shannon (Modern), Cocoa Chandelier (Performance Artist), Jonathan Sypert (Hip Hop), Bruce and Yoko Wee (Tango), Malia Delapenia (Belly Dance), Joyce Terashima Baker (Balkan), and Micheal Cahill (African).  Other special guests to be announced!
