The eyes can say what words cannot.

In Hula Kahiko, the gaze can carry focus, strength, intention, and emotion. A shift of the eyes can deepen the meaning of a movement and help guide the story being shared.

Watch closely. Sometimes the message is already there before the body moves.

In Hula Kahiko, every part of the body has something to say.

There have been many times when I felt my work has helped shape how the Hula is seen by the world. Most often when I have been doing exhibits or shows and places like San Diego or San Francisco would sponsor a Pacific Island festival and there will be 15,000 people there. I did an art show in Tokyo one time at a very prestigious art gallery and they told me that 10,000 people a day showed up, and I had broken all their attendance records. I know times like that changed a lot of people‘s perspective and gave them a new and different way to understand the Hula and how it had been suppressed and changed for so many years.

There is a strength in Hula Kahiko that does not need to announce itself.

It lives in the stillness, the focus, the expression, and the power held within each movement.

This image captures that presence beautifully. Hula Kahiko is not simply movement to be watched. It carries history, meaning, discipline, and a deep connection to Hawaiʻi.

A moment of solemnity. A moment of strength. A moment that asks us to look a little longer. Visit our website to explore the world of Hula Kahiko through Kim Taylor Reece's photography. https://kimtaylorreece.com/

In Hula Kāhiko, the eyes do more than look.

They lead.
They listen.
They remember.
They carry the emotion of the mele (chant).

This second video in our movement series focuses on the eyes: the intensity, the focus, and the presence that help bring the story forward.

In Hula Kāhiko, meaning is not held in one gesture alone. It lives in the connection between the chant, the body, the hands, the feet, the expression, and the gaze. The eyes can reveal reverence, strength, longing, warning, devotion, or connection to place and spirit.

They draw us into the story.

Kim Taylor Reece has an extraordinary ability to capture that moment when the dancer’s gaze becomes part of the language of the image. In his work, the eyes are not passive. They are alive with purpose.

This series invites us to pause and look closer at the movements and expressions that make Hula Kāhiko so powerful.

First, we looked at the feet.

Now, we look to the eyes.

The eyes may carry the focus, but sometimes the perfect frame takes a little teamwork. 👀

For Kim Taylor Reece, every detail matters. The direction of the gaze. The expression. The movement. Even the way the hair falls around the face.

And if that means stepping in to make one tiny adjustment before the shutter clicks, Kim is right there doing it.

The result is that unmistakable look: focused, expressive, and beautifully framed.

Of course, getting there can involve a little teasing along the way. 😄

Behind every finished image is a moment like this, part precision, part collaboration, and part fun.
