This made me cry!

Friday, August 28th, 2009

There are certain professions that REALLY REALLY INSPIRE me! On the top of the list are dancers! I just am in awe of their movements and the way that they can tell a full story just by moving. One of the best shows on TV now is “So you think you can dance!“ I am totally addicted to the show! I chanced upon this video and I wanted to share it with all of you because it really moved me to tears. The gamut of emotions that runs through this piece is exactly what I aim for as an artist. Honesty, Authenticity, Truth, Relevance and Integrity, all of which are captured by these amazing dancers! Check it out and feel their art!

Fosse – Single Ladies!

Saturday, July 18th, 2009

The very first time I saw the video of Beyonce‘s “Single Ladies,” I was fixated! I must have watched it on loop for a hundred times! I loved everything about it; the simplicity of the movements, the play on lighting, the song was just fun and I loved it! Even today, I still like hearing it and watching the video.

Imagine my big surprise when I found this video on YouTube. It was choreographed by Bob Fosse! By the looks of the girls’ costumes, it was probably done in the early ’70s! I was really surprised by how current and timeless the movements were. I am a huge fan of Mr. Fosse. I am a theater baby and grew up with his style of dance. I am so amazed at how his influence. Take a look at the video and you can see how Ms. Beyonce was inspired!

HULA! Hotness!

Wednesday, January 14th, 2009

There is going to be a lot of Hula going on! LOL! Something really unique and exciting is going to happen at the CCP on January 22 all the way to the 25th! We’re bringing the HULA back!

As some of you know, I am on the board of the Asian Cultural Council Philippines. It is a council whose prime responsibility is to find funding for Filipino Artists to get international grants, thus further enhancing and enriching our local art scene. Our first major project for the year is I-LAND! A one-man show by Mr. Keo Woolford! He is a certified hottie and a really great artist. GOOGLE HIM! LOL! He has done leading roles in West end, London opposite Ms, Elaine Paige in “The King and I” (Keo plays the king)!

The Chairman of ACCP Mr. Ernest Escaler, our ACCP president Mrs. Maribel Ongpin, our Star performer Keo Woolford and CCP president Mr. Nes Jardin.

The play is semi-autobiographical and is a combination of many disciplines, dance, song, poetry. I for one am very excited for the show as I am always into art, culture, half-naked men! LOL! I ask everyone who will be reading this entry to go and see I-LAND, I guarantee that you will have a fantastic time! Call the CCP for more information! You may also email me Rajolaurel@gmail.com ! LOL! Help us improve the artist landscape in the Philippines! See you at the show! Gala night is on Jan 22 and the theme is Grass skirts….JOKE!
