Thank you, Houston!!!Houston Chronicle - "...Woolford's a riveting (and amazingly buff) dancer, tightly-wound, light and graceful all at once, with fluidity in his hips and arms... His acting chops are equally refined."

NEW ORLEANS, LA - DECEMBER 8
Written and performed by Keo Woolford
Directed by Roberta Uno
Hula choreography by Robert Cazimero
Hip-hop choreography Rokafella
I Land expands on the Hawaiian tradition of talk story, combining theater and dance, bringing dramatic narrative, comedy, hula, and hip-hop dance together to tell a unique and compelling story. Inspired by, but departing from autobiography, I Land is Keo's exploration of the intersections, collisions, and reverberations he has observed at the nexus of these cultures.
Co-commissioned by Ma-Yi Theater Company, Asia Society in New York City and Diverseworks.
