Cha as she is famously known, one of the ASF Dancers of the noontime show Wowowee. I was lucky to have a cooperative weather for the shoot, it was raining for days in a row creating panic in some areas. Posting this to cheer up some of the audiences. Ü

It’s been awhile since I last visited, my backlog is piling up. I’ll be able to rearrange everything once I transfer file to my new hard drive. 1tb of images is not sufficient anymore. My computer is going bonkers where to place the files now.

Hope this dark angel leads me back to reality.

“Ang Pasaway” is an adaptation of Ballet La Fille mal gardée (English: The Wayward Daughter) is a comic ballet presented in two acts, inspired by Pierre Antoine Baudouin’s 1789 painting, La Réprimande/Une Jeune Fille Querellée par sa Mère. The ballet was originally produced and choreographed by the Ballet Master, Jean Dauberval, to a musical pastiche adapted from fifty-five popular French airs by an unknown hand. The ballet was first presented under the title Le Ballet de la paille, ou Il n’est Qu’un pas du mal au bien (The Ballet of Straw, or There is Only One Step from Bad to Good) at the Grand Théâtre de Bordeaux, in Bordeaux, France on 1 July 1789.

Philippine Ballet Theatre’s adaptation is set on the northern most province of Luzon’s little barrio farm, where in people grow crops. It was certainly different from what I’ve seen on classical ballets, here they have different costumes, props and background. I found it amusing with the tagalog version, specially the baro’t saya on pointes.

The artistic director Ronilo Jaynario has put time & effort for this show, as well as the team behind him. To the dancers, great job! To other guest performers ACTS Manila, Claravall School of Dance, Quezon City Ballet of HCSB, & PBT Gems, splendid performance!

It was an experience to shoot the couple in a place I’m very much unfamiliar with, I took my time finding the right spot, but it was never hard to take pictures of them, the couple were naturally gorgeous.

During the shoot, I cleared a flight stairs and aggravated my recurring back pain, I didn’t have the flexibility to shoot my angles, with the help of my assistant photographer, Wie, I managed ato cut a few shots which I like.

Believe me, I’m still in pain, the painkillers don’t work anymore. Ü
