Everything’s up in the air at Aerial Romance, our Live from the Lawn event at the Hawai‘i State Art Museum on First Friday on August 7th from 6 to 9 p.m.
This free event features Samadhi Aerial Dance, who will be performing aerial feats while suspended from the trees on the front lawn of HiSAM. The evening performance is a choreography of aerial poetry and romantic music in a collaboration between the aerialists of Samadhi and several talented musicians.
The Jeff Peterson Jazz Trio, vocalists Anita Hall and Venus T, and trumpeter DeShannon Higa will compliment the splendor and grace of Samadhi’s aerial compositions.
The evening’s entertainment begins with a dynamic performance by Drill Team Hawai‘i. These limber and graceful acrobatic girls make quite an impression with their gravity-defying combinations.
Next, it’s the main event featuring the amazing performers of Samadhi Aerial Dance. They dazzle their audiences from the sky, but don’t call their routine gymnastics, because these aerial acrobats say their dance has much more flow, just like poetry.
The group was founded on Maui in 2004 by ‘Ulalena original cast member/ aerialist Andrea Torres, with Ana Prada, Marcus Quiniones, and Yayoi Hara. They are Hawai‘i’s premier aerial dance performance troupe.
Several talented musicians will provide musical accompaniment for the aerialists. The Jeff Peterson Jazz Trio features Jeff Peterson on guitar, Steve Jones on bass, and Von Baron on drums.
Anita Hall is one of the island’s most celebrated vocalists, having shared the stage with the likes of Smokey Robinson, the Pointer Sisters, and Sting. Venus T is the rockin’ vocalist for the popular local group Jeff Said No!
DeShannon Higa is an incredible trumpet player and the founder of several groups, including Groove Improv Artists and Quadpod, and a member of Bop Tribal.
Be sure to visit the Lanai Lounge on the second floor, where Quadpod will be performing. This quartet features DeShannon Higa on trumpet, Reggie Padilla on keyboards and tenor sax, Jon Hawes on acoustic bass, and Konrad Kendrick on drums. From Hawaiian to bebop to body percussion to hip hop, this group blends different flavors into the jazz idiom.
Food may be purchased from Downtown @ the HiSAM, Le Crepe Café, Hank’s Haute Dogs, Land of Organica, and Soul de Cuba Café.
This free event is presented by the Hawai‘i State Foundation on Culture and the Arts and the Friends of the Hawai‘i State Art Museum, with support from the LEF Foundation and DBEDT.
