Reaching out from the US with dance
By Walter Ang

Workshop done during Project Philippines 2008.

A group of dancers and artists from the US is coming to the Philippines in June to teach students in Northern Samar and Manila.

The group is led by dancers Kendra Samson, the first Filipina recipient of a full scholarship to the Julliard School's dance program, and Chelsea Ainsworth, also an alumnus of Julliard.

"I initially organized 'Project Philippines' with my Filipino dance colleague from Juilliard, Norbert de la Cruz.  The project brought five Juilliard dancers to the Philippines in 2008 for an outreach," says Samson.

Samson hails from Angono, Rizal and is a grandniece of Carlos "Botong" Francisco and Lucio San Pedro, National Artists for Painting and Music, respectively.

She trained at the Cultural Center of the Philippines Dance School and Philippine High School for the Arts.  She was accepted to Julliard in 2004 and received her permanent resident card for the US last year, however, she emphatically says, "The Philippines is still my home.  And so is New York. I love them both on different levels.  With this 'artreach' project, I feel as if I am having a different relationship with the Philippines where I lived in for 17 years. It's more than just a home this time."

Coming back

Kendra Samson

"I know that Filipinos feel passionately on the arts and it's culturally natural for us to want to dance to the beat, to sing, and to admire actresses and actors. One of our main goals is to make the arts relevant in the daily lives of the communities we encounter.

"The arts doesn't have to be a separate entity that only exists in the tube and theaters. It is around us and relevant to all our human experiences."

Naming this year's outreach effort as "Project Philippines 2012," the group will teach in the same places it visited in 2008: San Isidro and Bobon Central Elementary School in Northern Samar;  Philippine High School for the Arts in Laguna; and the Ayala Museum and Ballet Philippines in Manila.  The group will conduct workshops and hold recitals and performances.

"Project Philippines 2012 is inspired by our interest to teach and expand upon our art forms, specifically movement, music, and visual arts. We hope to learn from the Filipino culture as well as create meaningful exchange," says Ainsworth.

"The idea is to 'empower discipline and self-confidence' in Filipino children, to spread hope and a positive vision for our arts and our lives. After such a successful trip and in response to strong requests, [we were] inspired and excited to return in 2012."

Group

Chelsea Ainsworth

"Most of the original group has already graduated from school and are individually pursuing their careers in different parts of the world," says Samson. "I've also been establishing my dance career in New York and became excited at the prospects of reviving the outreach and reinventing it as well to involve other art mediums."

"This year brings a broader scope of team members.  Not all are Juilliard-trained, but all are exceptional artists in their respective fields."

Samson recruited another Filipino dancer, Leonides Arpon, to join the group.  Born and raised in Israel and a former member of Bat-Dor Dance Company, he relocated to New York in 1999 and is currently a member of Armitage Gone! Dance Company.

"He has been like a brother to me throughout my stay in NY and his passion and determinations in life inspire me."

Music and visual arts will be added to the program, to be taught by visual artist Kyle Netzeband, and musicians Brian Gnojek and Midori Samson (currently a sophomore at Juilliard, major in bassoon).

Raising funds

Leonides Arpon

When the group came to the country in 2008, they worked under a grant from Julliard.  This time around, they've been raising funds on their own since last year through workshops, shows and, on April 30, a fundraising show supported by the Philippine Consulate in New York.

They also started an account on Kickstarter.com, a "crowd funding" website that allows the public to donate to the projects listed.

However, the website dictates that if the target minimum amount of funds to be raised is not met by the set deadline of May 16, 2012, all pledges are forfeited and no funds will be collected.  "This is why we chose a lesser amount of USD2,500 as our target in the website although our real goal is to raise USD5,000."

"Art for a Cause: Project Philippines 2012" fundraising show runs April 30 7:30 pm at Kalayaan Hall, Philippine Center, 556 Fifth Ave., New York City.  For details, email projectphilippinesteam@gmail.com or visit projectphilippines2012ckmbk.blogspot.com.

Review of PETA's "Care Divas" in Journal of Asian Perspectives in the Arts and Humanities

[Facebook "Share," Twitter "Tweet this," and Google+ "+1" buttons are found at the bottom of this post.]

Yay! A review I wrote on "Care Divas" was published in the Journal of Asian Perspectives in the Arts and Humanities in its Vol. 1, No. 2 issue in 2011.

This review is an expanded and reworked version of a blog post I'd written last year about my thoughts on the show (you can read it here).  Editor-in-chief Jovino Miroy pushed and pushed and pushed me to whip my blog post into shape.

My very last line for the review, the spirit of which I'd been thinking about but only gelled in my head and articulated itself after I had submitted my draft, didn't seem to make it to the final printed result even though I had tried to send it in.

Here is what I would have wanted the last line to be: "But only just so."

We could have danced all week
By Walter Ang

Dance, dance and more dance will be celebrated during this year’s International Dance Day and Philippine National Dance Week.

Contemporary Dance Network Manila (CDNM) is staging Contemporary Dance Map Gala 2012 and the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) is hosting a dance competition and workshop-festival.

Philippine National Dance Week, celebrated on the last week of April, began in 1993 as per Presidential Proclamation 154 signed by President Fidel Ramos.

International Dance Day was founded in 1982 by the International Dance Committee of International Theater Institute (ITI) of Unesco and is celebrated every April 29—the date commemorates the birthday of Jean-Georges Noverre, a French dancer and ballet master regarded as the creator of modern ballet.

Contemporary dance

CDNM, chaired by Angel Lawenko-Baguilat, UP Dance Company artistic director, is an organization of contemporary dance companies, artists, school-based organizations, and institutions, whose goal is to promote contemporary dance in the Philippines.

The show is part of CDNM’s Contemporary Dance Map series, where the group “maps alternative spaces for dance in a performance tour of these spaces.” The series started in 2005 and has since continued annually.

The Contemporary Dance Map series has included performances in spaces such as the LRT2 line (2010) and the streets of Araneta Center in Cubao (2011).

“Contemporary Dance Map Gala 2012” runs April 28-29, 8 p.m., Dance Forum Space, 36E West Ave., QC. Student and senior citizen discounts available. Call 0917-8514732.

Contests and workshops

Now on its fourth year, the competition will be held April 23-24 at Music Hall of SM Mall of Asia, Pasay City. Folkdance, neoclassical and ballroom will be the categories on the first day. Contemporary and hip-hop will be on the second day.

The dance committee, chaired by Shirley Halili-Cruz (Shirley Halili-Cruz School of Ballet artistic director), notes that the contest aims to highlight competition as a means of motivation for artistic excellence and encourage emotional fitness through teamwork.

Opera Haus now open for everyone; summer workshops offered

[Facebook "Share," Twitter "Tweet this," and Google+ "+1" buttons are found at the bottom of this post.]

Yay! My article on the new building of Philippine Opera Company was published in the Philippine Daily Inquirer in its April 16, 2012 issue.

Opera Haus now open for everyone; summer workshops offered
By Walter Ang

Lobby of Opera Haus

"It has been our dream to put up an arts center and build a permanent home for classical singers," says Philippine Opera Company artistic director Karla Gutierrez. "But, of course, it is open to all artists!"

She's referring to Opera Haus, now home to the administrative offices of POC and to classrooms for students and rehearsal spaces for performing artists (music and otherwise).

Enrollment is ongoing for the center's lessons in instruments (piano, guitar, violin), and basic theory or master classes for music.

Voice students can choose from varied repertoires: classical, pop, Broadway/musical theater, jazz and standards.

There are also special classes in music and movement for babies and toddlers.

"We have a program called `Buddy Lessons,' which offers voice and instrument lessons designed for couples or friends who may want to study voice or the same instrument, together," she says.

Something for everyone

Music room for classes

The lobby features a three-story-high glass-curtain window fountain designed by set designer and contractor Jo Tecson.

Aside from the classrooms, there are studios and rooms throughout the second and third floors that can be rented for rehearsals, auditions, production meetings. "For bands, chamber orchestras, string quartets, singers, dancers, everyone!"

"The space is very flexible. We want to have different kinds of workshops, like for acting, dance, painting or literature. It can be an art gallery. We can have film showings."

The center has a conference room and library "with a good number of music books and scores for reference."

Funding
"We have a small Opera Shop where we sell music-related merchandise," she says.  "All proceeds of the merchandise go to Friends of the Philippine Opera Foundation's Artistic Development Program. It's a program that provides free workshops and master classes for artists."

Proceeds from POCs different productions go to the ongoing construction of Opera Haus.

Upcoming productions this year include a restaging of its "Ang Bagong Harana," (June 6-10, 2012) a concert featuring classical Filipino songs.

POC also co-manages with Sony Music the "Operabelles," an all-female classical-crossover group that can be booked for corporate or private functions.

"We're building our patron system. The arts really needs patrons since the government is not helping us. We depend so much on personal and corporate sponsorships."

Fun

Rehearsal Hall

The fourth floor is intended to be a mini recital area in the future. "We can't afford to finish constructing it yet, so for now, it serves as an open roof deck for parties."

There is the small Opera Café at the lobby. "We also have a small garden at the back for barbecue or potluck parties. Artists like to eat!" she laughs. "Here, teachers, students and artists can bond before or after classes or rehearsals.

"There is also an audio-visual room where we will hold weekly free viewing of opera films and audiences can discuss the movie among themselves afterward.

"We have so many plans for Opera Haus because we want the other 'arts' to be part of it, it's not just for opera artists."

Opera Haus is at 3657 Bautista St., Makati City; tel. 881-7168 or 0917-527-2880.

Peta and Rep do crossover staging of cross-dressing hit

[Facebook "Share," Twitter "Tweet this," and Google+ "+1" buttons are found at the bottom of this post.]

Yay! My article on the upcoming restaging of "Care Divas" was published in the Philippine Daily Inquirer in its April 9, 2012 issue.

Peta and Rep do crossover staging of cross-dressing hit
By Walter Ang

Philippine Educational Theater Association’s (Peta) musical “Care Divas” will feature Repertory Philippines actress Joy Virata and will be staged at Onstage Theater, Makati (known as Rep’s current “home” theater) for one weekend this April.

This “crossover” staging is part of both theater companies’ celebrations of their 45th anniversaries.

Peta was founded by Cecile Guidote-Alvarez and Rep by Zeneida “Bibot” Amador, Carmen “Baby” Barredo, Leo Martinez, and Tony and Monina Mercado.

With Peta’s Filipino productions and Rep’s English productions, both companies have staged season after season of shows and have established reputations for excellence.

Peta has been staging original works alongside Filipino translations and adaptations of foreign works.

Rep, while staging mostly American and European works (usually Broadway and West End shows),  once staged August Strindberg’s “Miss Julie” using Roland Tinio’s Filipino translation (in its inaugural season). It also staged an original English musical, “Miong” (written by Virata and Ramon Santos, 1998), about the life of Emilio Aguinaldo.

Amador died in 2004, leaving Barredo as artistic director for Rep. Guidote-Alvarez left Peta in 1972. Peta is headed by president Cecilia Garrucho and artistic director Maribel Legarda.

Joy Virata in the mix
This musical, about a group of Filipino caregivers working in Israel who moonlight as drag queens in a club, premiered last year and has had several run extensions.  The characters, despite the glitter and glam involved in their drag-queen personas and performances, struggle with cultural differences, alienation and loneliness.

Virata takes over the roles (Adara/Sara) originated by Garrucho. Aside from having been an actress and former associate artistic director for Rep, Virata is also Rep’s Children’s Theater founding artistic director.

Legarda had always wanted Virata to alternate with Garrucho. With Garrucho unable to perform in this run, Legarda sent word to the Rep camp inquiring if Virata might want to take on the role.

Virata said yes instantly, not even knowing what the show was about, expressing excitement for the chance to work with Peta. With this, the Rep camp suggested that the show be mounted in Onstage Theater instead of Peta’s Theater Center, and the crossover was born.

Now commonplace
Up until the ’80s, actors did not perform for other groups.  The idea of actors crossing over to other groups started becoming acceptable in the ’90s and has now become commonplace.

Virata is not the first Rep actor to tread Peta boards.  Audie Gemora (“Ang Paglalakbay ni Radiya Managandiri,” 1993 ); Dido de la Paz (“Romulus D’Grayt,” 2007); and Rem Zamora (“Skin Deep,” 2008) have been part of Peta productions.

Peta was initially located in Fort Santiago, Manila, staging productions in the open-air Dulaang Rajah Soliman.  Rep initially staged productions at Insular Life Theater, Makati, moving over to the defunct William Shaw Theater in Mandaluyong in the ’90s.

Peta now has its own building and theater in New Manila, Quezon City. Rep stages shows at Onstage Theater, Greenbelt 1, Makati.

Legacy
Both companies have been spreading their respective styles and contributions to theater arts.

Rep is known for training Filipino actors in the modes of Western theater, enabling them to join foreign productions in the West End, Germany and Broadway, represented by its most famous alumna: Lea Salonga.

Its alumni have also gone on to found their own English theater companies: Audie Gemora (Trumpets); Bart Guingona (Actors’ Actors); Monique Wilson (New Voice Company); Michael Williams (Theater Down South); and Robbie Guevarra (9 Works Theatrical).

Peta is known for touring their productions nationwide and giving workshops for theater education and theater-in-education, helping communities found their own theater groups.

They also forge collaborations with Asean and Asian neighbors such as Black Tent Theater (Japan) and the Mekong Partnership Project (Great Mekong Subregion).

Both companies are exploring future partnerships, with performances to be staged at Peta’s Theater Center, and possibly the Cultural Center of the Philippines.

Peta artistic director Maribel Legarda directs. The musical is written by Liza Magtoto; with music and lyrics by Vince de Jesus (also musical director). Costume design is by John Abul; lighting design, Jon Jon Villareal; set design, Leo Abaya; and choreography, Carlon Matobato.

Purchase of Peta’s “Care Divas” tickets for April 28, 8 p.m. show, will entitle buyer to a 10-percent discount on ticket purchase for any of the April 20-22 shows of Rep’s “Jekyll and Hyde,” and vice-versa.

“Care Divas” runs April 27-29 at Onstage Theater, Greenbelt 1, Makati City. Call 7256244, 4100821 or 0917-5183654; e-mail petatheater@gmail.com.

Filipinos selected for Kyoto contemporary dance residency

Filipinos selected for Kyoto contemporary dance residency
By Walter Ang

Mia Cabalfin

Filipino dancers Mia Cabalfin and Rhosam Prudenciado have been chosen for the Artist-in-Residence program of Kyoto Art Center in 2012.

The center will provide accommodations and studio space for six months for the artists to organize projects with Kyoto citizens, including performances, lectures or workshops.

The pair plan to do a “dance-on-site” production, a performance of contemporary dance in an alternative “non-theater” space.

“Specifically, in a machiya house, since this is a part of Kyoto culture and history that is fast disappearing,” says Cabalfin. “It will be interesting to explore using a traditional home in a nontraditional way.”

“Machiya houses are being demolished to give way to new concrete buildings,” says Prudenciado. “We want to pay homage to the tradition and culture symbolized by the machiya while incorporating something new and current, in this case, contemporary dance.”

The grant does not include living expenses and the two dancers are exploring fundraising efforts.

Excited
Both are members of contemporary-dance group Airdance. Cabalfin has been a company member, faculty and choreographer since 2006. Prudenciado is associate artistic director of the company. He choreographs and teaches contemporary, hiphop and jazz.

“We are excited, grateful and honored to have been chosen, since this is a prestigious residency program open to dance artists from all over the globe,” says Cabalfin. “I am excited to create new work, to perform abroad, and to collaborate with new artists together with Sam! I’m sure it’ll be an amazing yet challenging experience. I can’t wait!”

“I feel so happy and blessed that Filipinos were chosen amongst all applicants worldwide to impart our art as contemporary choreographers/performers,” says Prudenciado. “It’s not every day that artists are given the chance to cross borders for creative exchanges. This will definitely be a venue to carry our pride as Filipinos in terms of art, as well.”

Both competed in the New Choreographers Competition of the 3rd Wi-Fi Body Independent Contemporary Dance Festival (2008), a festival of contemporary dance organized by Contemporary Dance Network Philippines (CDNP). Cabalfin was a finalist while Prudenciado took second place.

CDNP president Angel Lawenko Baguilat says: “We congratulate both artists and wish them well as they represent the Philippines in this cultural exchange in the field of contemporary dance.”

Stretchy

Rhosam Prudenciado

Cabalfin was a recipient of a Danceweb Scholarship Programme in 2008 in Vienna, Austria, as part of the Impulstanz International Dance Festival. She is also a part-time instructor at Plana Forma and television host/sportscaster and executive producer for Studio 23 and Balls Channel.

Prudenciado won the French Embassy Prize for Young Choreographers of the Yokohama Dance Collection R 2009, which allowed him to study contemporary dance in Micadanses and Menagerie de Verre in Paris. He is a frequent guest artist of UP Dance Company and House of Dance.

“Contemporary dance is a very stretchy form of art,” says Prudenciado. “Its definition depends on the artist, the subject he focuses on, and the venue. It does not have a strict form like ballet. It does not mainly seek to entertain an audience but to express. Contemporary dance is very different, depending on perspective. It is an opportunity for the implied and the abstract. It’s a movement transcending technology for the art of dance.”
