2 sleeps before the Tinikling show

As the month of May is close to the end, I am like a little fish in the pond of dance.

Researching my new work Adam-Eve to unveil in December. Dancing two of my solos Pinoy Meets ion Zoo (with ion Zoo music ensemble) and Meeting Umbuh. Prepping to reconstruct Paradis/Paradise for a short film with broken mirror and for July's Dancing on the Edge Festival. Lastly, the 15-minute version of Tinikling (Bamboo Dance) for explorASIAN festival.

I balance and titter within my analytical and intuitive world and juggle to strive to do my best to be present for each work. Early this year, I promised myself that despite economical downfall, I should stay with my vision, be at the place I am most happy, DANCE, make the art work and engage with people who hunger to have art in their life.

I find such pleasure in the studio when watching my own body and dancers create a landscape of familiar, unknown, nostalgic, fearless, confusing, solitude, comedic, spiritual and abundance of breath to know that I am still alive!
