Celebrate the best of
Philippine dance this June!
The Cultural Center of the
Philippines and Ballet Philippines in cooperation with Philippine Ballet
Theatre and Ballet Manila present the first-ever Dance.MNL: The Philippine
Dance Festival from June 14 to 26, 2016.
A new biennial festival focused on
uniting and celebrating the Filipino Dance community, Dance.MNL will bring the
Filipino classical, modern, and contemporary creations to the stages of the
Cultural Center of the Philippines, Aliw Theater, and Star Theater.
Supported by the National Commission
for Culture and the Arts and the Manila Broadcasting Company, this inaugural festival
will feature 11 performances, a 10-day Dance Intensive, and a two-day conference,
gathering more than 500 dance professionals in the metropolis.
Dance.MNL’s week of performances
kick off on June 21 - 8pm at the CCP Main Theater with “The Winners Circle,” a
gala celebrating the numerous Filipino artists who have made their marks on the
local and global stage. It will also feature the world premiere of Martin
Lawrance’s “Amid Shadows”, a work made especially for Christine Rocas and the
Ballet Manila principals.
Ballet Manila will stage the
timeless classic “Giselle” on June 25 (2pm and 8pm) at the CCP Tanghalang
Nicanor Abelardo. One of the most beloved ballets of all time, “Giselle” tells
the story of a love so strong that it transcends even death. The artists of
Ballet Manila will take the stage on the matinee, while the gala features a
special tribute cast put together in honor of the Philippine dance icon and
co-founder of Philippine Ballet Theatre Felicitas “Tita” Radaic, featuring the
special participation of Philippine Ballet Theatre and Ballet Philippines.
Dance.MNL is led by Festival Directors Paul Alexander
Morales, Ron Jaynario, and Lisa Macuja-Elizalde.
