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!
