So, the year got off to a good start, with my family successfully launching a new project. We performed at CCP's Pasinaya Open House Festival as TEAM Dance Studio's Company of Dance Artists. So TEAM is the school, and CODA is the performing arm. We're planning, among other things, for a concert in August to celebrate TEAM Dance Studio's 30th anniversary.We performed new works by Eli Jacinto: a work in progress called Kailaliman, the relatively new In the Sisterhood (see photo) and an extended Metropolis, which is Dad's tribute to the city where he started to develop his choreographic style.
The festival itself was quite chaotic but I loved how there were more and more dance groups at the Rehearsal Hall this year, and how people had difficulty lining up for the groups they wanted to see because there were too many people already lined up before them. That's not usually a good thing, I know, but having a big audience for dance, under any circumstance, is always really awesome.
If you were there, thanks so much for watching :) And I hope you see get to see more of us this year.
