NEXT TAKE

“If we, citizens, do not support our artists,

then we sacrifice our imagination on the altar of crude reality

and we end up believing in nothing and having worthless dreams”

_ Yann Martel “Life of Pi”

Dancing Wounded’s commitment to create exciting new contemporary dance artists and fresh new works needs your partnership in helping us fund three individuals to create new solo works in a Dancing Wounded’s Residency Grant called “Insurrection”.

“Insurrection” will enable three artists to explore, address and work on their ideas of “What is Philippine Contemporary Dance? They will be priviliged to be given full use of studio space and its facilities to experiment on dance projects, plan dance visions together with discussions and fora on issues of “identity’ and a stipend to allow full concentration and focus of energy.

The fruits of these works will be presented back to you as their enablers for a Free performance on March. By buying tickets of the Fund raising Performance Called “Next Take” you are producing three contemporary dancers and three of their works in a first of its kind residency in the Philippines.

Help us keep the dream alive in the name of Contemporary Dance!


“Next Take” - a fund raising performance presents sheer fun and joy in movement in solo works by the commune - May Bayot, Reggie Lasam, Jose Jay B. Cruz, alumna of DW’s Tao of Contemporary Dance scholarship - Carlon Matobato, finalist for Wi-fi Body: Dance Competition in CCP, - Tess Jamias – coming back from a 6 month Asian Cultural Council Grant in U.S. And DW’s collaborator - Jethro Pioquinto – back from the fifth Asia Europe Dance Forum

This project cannot change the world but it can plant a seed of hope to the lives of contemporary dance artists in the Philippines! See you there!
