Community Dance After a Play

Events in the Cordillera region especially those that revolve around Cordillera culture and heritage are never complete without a community dance to cap off the event. 

Like this community dance after the staging of the play “𝙆𝙖𝙪𝙗-𝙤𝙛𝙪𝙙𝙚𝙣 𝙎𝙝𝙞𝙣 𝙇𝙞𝙟𝙖𝙣𝙜 𝙐𝙩𝙖𝙝” at the University of the Philippines Baguio. The performers and the audience danced as one to the beat of the gongs.

Presented by the Dulaang UP Baguio and Paggawisan Tako Am-In (PAGTA), the play was an adaptation of a children's book written and illustrated by Danielle V. Florendo. Florendo wrote the book based on an oral legend from Balbalan, Kalinga. The play adaptation was directed by Markneel Balgos and Eirene June Taclobao.
