Future Voices is a multi-media theatrical dance performance that was presented on May 5 and May 6, 2018, at Kahilu Theatre.

Written by students of Prince Dance Institute, the theatrical aspect of the show was developed over the course of several spoken word workshops led by Angel Prince, and O’ahu-based spoken word poet Jonathan Sypert. The result was an inspiring and thought-provoking performance of song, dance, theatre, and spoken word.

Future Voices featured choreography from instructors Angel Prince, Elizabeth Brawner, Kat Reuss, Leia Lawrence, Mana Ho’opai, dramatic work by Kendyll Howard, and music with Candie Duggan.

The performance also includes the PDI students’ spoken word pieces as the underlying narrative to each segment. Original costumes by Karen Zindric, original music by Jonathan Sypert.

The show is a beautiful blending of PDI students’ voices with dance, aerial, musical, and theatrical pieces and was an inspiring project for the students and faculty of Prince Dance Institute.

The students created spoken word pieces inspired by the prompts:

• • What is important to you?
  • What kind of world do you want to live in?
  • What needs to change?
