“TAMnan: Yugto ng Pag-Aani”: Annual Dance Concert of the FEU Dance Company

Horns up, Tamaraws and Dance Enthusiasts!

The FEU Dance Company (FDC) will take center stage with its annual dance concert entitled "TAMnan: Yugto ng Pag-aani" on April 20, 2024 at 3:00 PM in the Far Eastern University Auditorium.

Set against the backdrop of agriculture and horticulture, "TAMnan: Yugto ng Pag-aani" will take the audience through the core stages of planting — a significant metaphor chosen to mirror the phases of personal life and community growth through the lens and movement language of the current student artists of the Company.

Tamnan means to plant something. A seed should be buried in dirt before it can begin to sprout and grow. The concert aims to portray human struggles as an integral part of development.

Unstoppable – that’s the word  that best describes the  FEU Dance Company (FDC). After the pandemic hit, schools and dance studios closed like most establishments  but that did not stop the said company from creating art and immersing people in it. 

Company members juggled their responsibilities as family members, students, dancers, and human beings, all while being confined within their homes. 

On Tuesday, February 22, 2022 at 4:30 P.M, the FDC will premiere LockDance, a virtual dance concert that took two years to make. It will be streamed through the FEU Center for the Arts’ YouTube Channel.

LockDance features creative choreographers namely: 

FDC Artistic Director Eduardo Malagkit,  Kevin Francisco, Carlo Padoga, Danyel Reyes, Micah Soriano, Brielle Zulueta, Angelikha Bay, Kiera Elizares, Ahren Bitong, Jahmil Dayao, Elvin Salazar, Cirus Bonifacio, Mya Samonte, and Claire Planas, and their dances that tell stories of reminiscing, contemplating, struggling, and yearning for hope despite the setbacks of the pandemic.
