French urban dance to electrify CCP with Elektro Kif


May 30, 20128:00 PM
Tanghalang Aurelio Tolentino (CCP Little Theater)
CCP Complex
Pasay, Metro Manila

Featuring:
Elektro Kif
Blanca Li, choreographer

The dancing never stops as the Embassy of France, the Alliance Française de Manille and Rustan’s in partnership with the Cultural Center of the Philippines present Elektro Kif, the new choreographic work by Blanca Li on May 30, 2012, 8:00 PM at the CCP’s Tanghalang Aurelio Tolentino (CCP Little Theater). This event is part of the International Dance Festival Manila: Focus on European Contemporary Dance.

In this performance, eight male dancers will showcase the urban style of street dancing mixed with the theatrical and the contemporary while accompanied with music by Tao Gutierrez that mixes techno with electro house, afrobeat, and classical music. Press release for this event mentioned a style of dance called the teknotik which originated in France during the 2000’s. I still can’t imagine how urban dancing having the contemporary touch this will look like since contemporary dance usually offers the unexpected. All I know is that it will be an interesting learning experience for me especially if the music is promising just like how it was described.

Dancers are really in for a treat as the summer season winds down since here is yet another dance performance for them to enjoy. I am no dancer and yet I still look forward to seeing this performance and broadening my horizons in this field.
