JUNE 25 - JULY 4, 2010 CULTURAL CENTER OF THE PHILIPPINES GREENBELT 5, AYALA MALLS DANCE FORUM SPACE
The WiFi Body Independent Contemporary Dance Festival is a gathering of contemporary dance artists, a showcase for new and innovative contemporary dance works and a magnet for collaborations with artists of other disciplines with contemporary dance. A project of the Contemporary Dance Network Philippines in partnership with the Cultural Center of the Philippines, this festival has grown since its inception in 2006, to involve two hundred thirty-two (232) dance artists in twenty (20) dance organizations, with an average of fifty (50) choreographers with 52 contemporary dance piece premieres a year. WiFi Body Festival is, indeed, the pre-eminent contemporary dance event in the Philippines today.
Dynamic, innovative but pushing together for a common love for dance, this is the body of contemporary dance in the Philippines.
WiFi Body 5 explores the theme "Body and Memory." Is not memory triggered by some imprint on the body, some lodged experience in the body, springing forth as memory?
It is when the body remembers, that one proceeds to create. And when the body remembers, there is Dance.
EXPERIMENT. REMEMBER. CREATE. Join us for WiFi Body 5!

Airdance celebrates the summer days with its 9th Summer Dance Workshop entitled "MGA ARAW NG SAYAW". Starting on April 12 and over the course of 6-weeks, students can take dance classes in Jazz (Beginners and Advanced), Streetdance (Beginners and Advanced), Contemporary, Breakdance and Ballroom. Classes are for 10-years old and up. The workshop will be conducted by the Airdance faculty and company members, all professional and seasoned dance teachers and choreographers.
The workshop will culminate in a Filipino-themed Recital Concert on May 23 wherein the students will perform and showcase their newfound and/or improved dancing talents alongside the Company members of Airdance. This show will feature the students in dance numbers choreographed to the diverse range of Filipino music.
Airdance believes that dance training develops both the body and mind. It improves strength, flexibility, endurance and coordination. Dancing develops focus and memory-retention. During the course of the workshop, the student will be learning to work individually and in a group. And, in the unique experience of performing before a live audience, the student develops confidence and stage presence. Airdance believes and hopes that the student will carry on what they will learn in our workshop to their personal, academic and professional lives.
So come and fill your summer days with fun, learning and dance!
