Ang paglikha ng sariling pag indak sa saliw ng damdamin.
Dance is everywhere. You see it in play, in moments of reverence, at the height of battle, in life and in death. From the simplest everyday feelings, to the most extreme emotional experiences that shake our foundations –- we respond in movement.
For our 15th year, we explore the rich art of Filipino movement styles that shape the way we express ourselves, and connect to the world around us.
Dance is what unifies our lived experience. Dance is what breathes life into our soul.
