I'm starting to get back into the swing of things. From 1998 to 2001, I danced and performed with Barangay SF. In that time, I probably learned a total of twenty-five dances. And with those dances, I only remember only ten of them. My life has been full of the performing arts. I've done the singing group thing and when that ended, I started my theatre arts era. Actually, my last year in high school I took the theatre class that I found very appealing. I learned stage direction, placement, script writing, and lighting. My backstage presence was astonishing, but my acting skills were poor.
Every couple of months I receive an email from Barangay about practices. Everytime there was practice I was either working or busy. Oh well! I just happened to be free last night and this morning. Last night, we learned two dances from the Moro Suite, before known as Muslim Suite. Next friday, we're going to be doing the Barrio Suite, also known as Rural. This morning I was given a special opportunity to finally learn to play my banduria. Unfortunately, I don't have a banduria, it's a bandilla (I think). I have the 12 string, not the 14 string. It'll still work though. Yay! So, in matter of a few months, Barangay will have an orchestra of stringed instruments. My reaction when I started playing a tuned banduria was a great and fulfilling experience. I love music, I love dance, I love art.
