Philippine-inspired dance practice
Monday, September 16
Artist: Blessyl Buan
Join multidisciplinary dance artist Blessyl Buan in a choreographic workshop that begins with intention and reconnection to the Land. Guided by the ancient Philippine Script of Baybayin, an embodied movement practice will emerge. The energetic charge of dried palm symbolizes the Philippine weaving traditions of the “banig” (mat) and will facilitate wayfinding of ancestral storytelling. Her process explores Philippine Indigenous traditions, joy, and "Kapwa" (community with humans, nature and the cosmos) rooted in contemporary dance.
