Tau Dance Theater - WAIHONA KINO (Body Archive)

Waihona Kino (Body Archive) is a new solo dance theater work, featuring Peter Rockford Espiritu (Tau) created with theater director Roberta Uno, and visual artist, Marques Hanalei Marzan. At 63, Tau is still performing his vast body archive anchored in Native Hawaiian and Pacific aesthetics in conversation with western dance influences. Mining this corporeal archive, Waihona Kino connects the continuum of time, honoring master teachers carried in his body while centering Indigenous consciousness. The piece is grounded by the designs of master fiber artist Marques Hanalei Marzan, producing a piece that is tourable to theater or visual arts spaces.
