Dance Xchange: The 2nd International Dance Workshop and Festival with the theme “Cultural Connectivity through Dance” on April 14–20 in Roxas City

The National Committee on Dance of the National Commission for Culture and the Arts has been spearheading the celebration of the International Dance Day with the holding of the Annual National Dance Congress and Festival to materialize Pres. Proclamation No. 154, declaring the last week of April as “National Dance Week”. With the great success of the 2008 National Dance Congress and International Dance Day, the National Committee on Dance under the leadership of Shirley Halili-Cruz endeavored into organizing the Dance Xchange: The Philippine International Dance Workshop and Festival.

Following the successful 1st International Dance Workshop and Festival in 2009, the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) – National Committee on Dance is once again organizing the Dance Xchange: The 2nd International Dance Workshop and Festival with the theme “Cultural Connectivity through Dance” on April 14 – 20 in Roxas City, Capiz, Philippines.

The Dance Xchange aims to:
1) strengthen international dance network,
2) showcase the unique dances of each country to facilitate cultural understanding,
3) provide venue for interaction and facilitate learning among dancers, directors, dance teachers, choreographers,
4) encourage the creation of new works, and
5) provide a platform for local and foreign choreographers and dancers to stage their new works. Dance Xchange will showcase the unique dances of each country as tool for cultural understanding.

The theme of Dance Xchange: The 2nd International Dance Workshop and Festival supports the International Dance Day message delivered by Julio Bocca:

Dance is discipline, work, teaching, communication. With it we save on words that perhaps others would not understand and, instead, we establish a universal language familiar to everyone. It gives us pleasure, it makes us free and it comforts us from the impossibility we humans have to fly like birds, bringing us closer to heaven, to the sacred, to the infinite.

It is a sublime art, different each time, so much like making love that at the end of each performance it leaves our heart beating very hard and looking forward to the next time.

Indeed, the Dance Xchange is a fitting event to realize the inspiring message of Julio Bocca and the aspiration of all dance artists – that of giving deeper value and high esteem for the art of Dance.


SCHEDULE OF ACTIVITIES

April 14 - arrival of foreign dance troupe
- performance in Manila/ Tour in Manila

April 15 - opening of Dance Xchange in Roxas City, Capiz

April 15-18 forum and workshops
- performances in Roxas City and in the near by municipalities

FILharmoniKA is the most in-demand orchestra in the country today. Under the leadership of music director Gerard Salonga, the group was formed in 2005 as the in-house recording ensemble of Carmel House Studios, a music and audio post-production facility in Manila. Composed of the country’s finest musicians, what was then known as the Global Studio Orchestra can be heard on film scores and albums, namely the animated feature Tugger starring Jim Belushi, the Filipino thriller Ang Pamana, and the albums of Regine Velasquez, Martin Nievera, Gary Valenciano, Mon David, and most notably Lea Salonga’s most recent studio album Inspired, which went platinum last year. They can also be heard on the station IDs of The Filipino Channel and QTV, as well as major television commercials. The orchestra also performs on the scores of several animated television series such as Jippy, Journey with Terry, and the Singapore-animated series Shelldon.

In 2006 the orchestra began a series of studio recordings entitled Musika Natin, which is dedicated to celebrating the genius of great Filipino composers, distributed by Sony-BMG Music. These are Lahing Kaymanggi, which features the symphonic works of Maestro Lucio San Pedro, and Ugnayan, featuring the jazz mastery of Maestro Angel Matias Peña. The third album in the series is entitled Heritage, which features the symphonic works of Col. Antonino Buenaventura. One of the more popular releases is Kumpas, an album of great Filipino rock songs performed by the orchestra, joined by several of the songs’ original artists such as Sampaguita, Wally Gonzales, Jett Pangan, and Noel Cabangon. The orchestra was also featured on a landmark recording entitled Eastern Skies, collaborating with jazz musicians Johnny Alegre and Affinity, released by Candid Records.

In 2008, a new direction was taken, as well as a new name, FILharmoniKA.

In the live performance scene, FILharmoniKA has collaborated with the country’s brightest, and its varied repertoire is a testament to its versatility. Since its inception, audiences have heard the orchestra perform in such concerts as Martin Nievera’s 25th anniversary concert at the Araneta Coliseum entitles XXV, the Philippine International Jazz Festival in Makati, and the much-anticipated collaboration of Barbie Almalbis and Kitchie Nadal at the Araneta Coliseum. FILharmoniKA shared the stage with Tony Award-winner Lea Salonga for her 30th anniversary concert at the PICC entitled My Life…On Stage, and with Ogie Alcasid in September at the Araneta Coliseum for his 20th anniversary concert 20/20. The orchestra also received tremendous critical acclaim for their performances in Stages Productions’ run of West Side Story at the Meralco Theatre, Cinderella at the Cultural Center of the Philippines, and Atlantis Productions’ Hairspray. Last February 2009 at the Araneta Coliseum, FILharmoniKA performed with Peter Cetera, and the Grammy-winning musician referred to the orchestra as the finest he has performed with on tour. The orchestra received even more critical praise in its performance of Stephen Sondheim’s challenging score in Repertory Philippines’ run of Sweeney Todd at OnStage Greenbelt, and most recently accompanied Lea Salonga in her highly successful Your Songs concerts at the PICC in Manila, as well as in Cebu and Bacolod.

Since the name change, FILharmoniKA can also be heard on Gerard Salonga’s original score to Ayala Museum’s exhibit Gold Of Ancestors, as well as on the debut album of 2007 WCOPA winner Reymond Sajor, and The CompanY’s most recent Viva Records release Group Hug. The orchestra can also be heard on the theme songs of the ABS-CBN television series Tanging Yaman and Kung Tayo’y Magkakalayo, and performed the theme song of Star Cinema’s And I Love You So.

As a testament to the orchestra’s versatility, FILharmoniKA is also gaining recognition as a formidable classical ensemble, participating in the 2008 and 2009 seasons of FILFEST. This past season FILharmoniKA gave memorable performances or Aaron Copland’s Appalachian Spring, Leonard Bernstein’s Three Dance Episodes from On The Town, Igor Stravinsky’s Dumbarton Oaks Concerto for Chamber Orchestra and Norman Dello Joio’s Concertato for Clarinet and Orchestra with clarinetist Marian Liebowitz. The orchestra has also accompanied some of the country’s leading classical artists such as pianist Jovianney Emmanuel Cruz, and violinists Justin Texon, Regina Buenaventura, and Coke Bolipata.

This year FILharmoniKA embarks on its own symphonic season at the PhilAm Life Theatre in Manila. Among the top rate artists collaborating with the orchestra this season are one of the world's greatest cellists Richard Bamping on April 17th for Dvorak’s Cello Concerto, and internationally renowned pianist Cecile Licad on July 2nd and 3rd for Gershwin’s Piano Concerto. Filipino music lovers can expect much from this highly talented and dedicated group whose goal is to bring the best of music making to audiences at home and the world over, as well as introduce new audiences to the magic of orchestral music.

The production is in search of actors for the following roles:

Meg: female; soprano/belt; 18-to late 20’s
Beautiful. The oldest of the March sisters - she is sweet tempered and motherly, and has a penchant for pretty things.

She battles with being poor because she wants so much to have nice things, but adores her family and later her husband.

Jo: female; high belt; 18-to late 20’s
The main heroine of the book, Jo is the second oldest sister and a tomboy. She adores writing of any kind, and plans as a girl to make her fortune with her pen. She is very passionate about writing. She is quick-tempered, but tries hard to be good and pleasing to her parents. She takes Laurie under her wing and helps to raise him into the man he becomes. She is often self-sacrificing, and has a strong maternal connection over her sister Beth who she adores. She is exceptionally dependable, and when their father is away, she acts as the man of the house.

Beth: female; soprano/belt; 16- late 20’s
The quiet sweet-tempered angel of the family, Beth does everything she can to make the house a happy place. She is shy, and adores playing the piano and singing. She loves cats and dolls, and takes care of both with a fervor.

Amy: female; soprano/belt; 16 - late 20’s
The youngest of the March sisters, Amy is at first selfish and spoiled. Destined to be the sister who becomes a Lady, Amy concentrates on making herself better than their poverty-stricken life. She is an artist who loves to portray beauty in all things. As time goes on, she tempers her nature and becomes a mature loving woman, who puts away her greed for money, and acts more out of her heart.

Mrs. March (Marmee): female; alto; 40’s
The mother of the four March sisters, Marmee is the guide of the family. She appears to have infinite wisdom and patience, and an exceptionally charitable nature. She wants nothing more than her daughters' happiness, and knows how to teach them the lessons they need to achieve that happiness. Once a gentlewoman, Marmee knows that there is more to life than riches, and lives off the love of her family and not of money. Warm and loving.

Theodore Laurence (Laurie, Teddy): male; tenor; 18 – late 20’s
Shy and awkward. Befriended by Jo, Laurie is the grandson of the March's next door neighbor. He is impulsive, sensitive, and quickly to temper. He is also kind and caring towards all of the March sisters. He adores music, is a pet to Jo, and is a gentleman, though he does not look down on the March family for their poverty.

Mr. Laurence: male; character singing; 50 – 60
The rich next-door neighbor to the March family, Mr. Laurence becomes like a grandfather to the girls. He is kind, and gives them gifts such as Beth's piano. Beth becomes his special pet, and though the old man can be gruff and intimidating, the March clan and his headstrong grandson love him. Stern.

Aunt March: female; high alto; 50 - 60
A crotchety old rich woman, Aunt March is both a blessing and a plague to the March sisters. She leaves her things to the girls when she dies, and pays for Amy to go to Europe for a few years. She employs Jo to keep her company, and hides her sentimental generous nature behind a hard exterior.

John Brooke: male; baritone; 20 – early 30’s
Originally Laurie's tutor, Mr. Brooke falls in love and marries Meg. John is kind and poor, but works hard. He is exceptionally bright and patient and he has a passion for politics.

Professor Bhaer: male; baritone; 30’s
A middle-aged man that Jo meets while staying in New York. He is German and wonderful with children. Everyone he meets loves him.

The MET Collection of Philippine Art

Met Museum offers a rare chance to view its outstanding Philippine art collection in the ongoing exhibit, Recollect: Revisiting the Metropolitan of Manila Collection. The show features 96 paintings, sculptures, and mixed media works that resulted in the efforts of the Museum to collect in the 1990s. Except for the two artworks that are currently on loan to other museums, the exhibit features the collection in its entirety.

The Metropolitan Museum was initially established in 1976 as a venue for temporary international art exhibitions. With the change of government in 1986, the Museum also reviewed its policies and began to place equal emphasis on the promotion of Philippine art. Two decades after its existence, and with a firm grasp of its mandate as a Philippine museum of contemporary visual arts, the Museum began building its permanent collection, relying solely on the generosity and support of Filipino artists.

Recollect shows the Met Collection as a product of its milieu, providing interesting points of reacquaintance with the issues and concerns addressed by the leading and up-and-coming contemporary Filipino artists in the last decade of the previous millenium. Whether figurative or abstract in expression, and whether preoccupied with social, personal and purely aesthetic concerns, all the works actively participated in the art discourse of their time, and because of the standard of excellence they espoused, found permanent home in the Met Museum.

Among the highlights of the Met Collection are the controversial 1995 Flor Contemplacion Portrait by Bencab (now a National Artist); the 1990 Debt by Charlie Co, a commentary on the IMF-World Bank debt situation of the country; the color-soaked Bali-inspired paintings of J. Elizalde Navarro (also subsequently declared National Artist); the original plaster cast of Three Buddha Mothers by Agnes Arellano, Pasyong Bayan by Imelda Cajipe Endaya, India at Ilustrada by Ana Fer, Yellow Exploration Lor Calma, and many more.

RECOLLECT: Revisiting the Metropolitan Museum of Manila Collection is ongoing at the Tall Galleries and Catwalk of the Metropolitan Museum of Manila until April 24, 2010.

The Met Museum is located at the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas Complex, Roxas Boulevard, Manila.

Museum hours are from Monday to Saturday, 9am – 6pm.
For inquiries, call 523-7855 or email info@metmuseum.ph.
