A semi-autobiographical performance by Keo Woolford as he discovers his identity as a Hawaiian. Woolford dances and talks story about his awkward transition from a cocky disco dancing kid to a disciplined member of Robert Cazimero’s Halau Na Kamalei to membership in the boy band Brownskin.  While many of his recollections are humorous, they also include his tense encounters with Hollywood’s kitsch vision of Hawai‘i and a decline into drugs and despair. His onstage transformation at the end of the show from street clothes to dance in lei po'o, kupe'e and hau pa’u has been hailed as stunning at L.A. and NYC performances.
