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.

Honolulu Advertiser: "Returning To His Roots"
Honolulu Star Bulletin: "Raising Awareness"
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."
The Washington Post - "There is no question that Woolford is talented. He's a good-looking charmer with a silver tongue and a heavy heart."
***RECOMMENDED!*** - the Los Angeles Times
nytheater.com - " ...important and often electrifying new solo show...It's stunning. Woolford is an extraordinary dancer...He's glorious to watch. He's also a persuasive actor and writer...the cumulative power of this work is undeniable."
Village Voice - "...Woolford's a powerful and seductive presence..."
Backstage NY - "...inspires and exhilarates. This is theatre that takes you somewhere new."
LA Times - "Like its sculpted star, "I Land" looks like a million bucks...his persona as engaging as his physicality is imposing...sincere...impressive...an admirable, entertaining piece, and Woolford's range of movement and humor is something to see."
LA Downtown News - "...delivers a memorable ode to hula and the shared need for humans to understand their roots...earns well-deserved laughs...deeply moving...his ability to portray a variety of characters adds color to the anecdotes...much more than a simple one-man show...sure to create plenty of new hula fans."
LA Weekly - "...a handsome, multitalented performer..."
Backstage LA - "...exciting to watch..."
Accessibly Live Off-Line - "...funny and touching...worth the visit..."
Experience LA - "...tight and amusing...awe-inspiring..."
