Dating international student, magtatanghal ng solo performance sa Canberra at Queensland tampok ang Filipino folk dance at hip-hop

Dahil sa talento sa pagsasayaw dalawang beses nang nakapaglakbay patungong Australia si Sugar Kaye Grefaldeo upang irepresenta ang Pilipinas sa mga internasyonal na kompetisyon. Sa mga pagbisitang ito niya unang nakilala at minahal ang bansa dahilan upang magdesisyon siyang lumipat at mag aral sa Australia taong 2019.

FORTUNA is written based on Sugar's real-life journey as dancer and choreographer, from her early dance experiences in Manila to her current role as a mentor and community leader.

KEY POINTS

• Sa unang pagkakataon, isang Pinay ang maghahandog ng sariling solo dance theatre performance sa Canberra Theatre Centre (October 11) at Queensland Multicultural Centre (October 17). Tampok dito ang natatanging pagsasanib ng Filipino folk dance at hip-hop.
• Layunin ni Sugar Kaye Grefladeo na ipakilala at ipreserba ang mga sayaw ng Pilipino kasabay ng pagsusuri sa konsepto ng kapalaran. Tampok din dito ang mahalagang papel ng kanyang guro na si Raffy Fortuna, na unang nakakita ng kanyang potensyal at nagbukas ng landas na nagbago sa kanyang buhay.
• Ang dulang pinamagatang FORTUNA ay batay sa kanyang tunay na karanasan bilang dancer at choreographer mula sa Maynila hanggang sa pagiging guro at migrante sa Australia.

I want people who watch the show to take away a sense of identity and appreciation for our culture. Filipino folk dances are often underrated these days, but through this, we can really showcase our rich cultural heritage. I hope it also reaches the next generation of Filipino-Australians, reminding us of our roots, honouring those who saw potential in us, and reflecting on the challenges and achievements we’ve experienced as immigrants.

Sugar Kaye Grefaldeo, dancer and teacher

Her show is a dynamic solo dance/theatre work that explores themes of luck, wealth and fortune through a fusion of Filipino folk dance and Hip-Hop, enriched with spoken word and audience interaction.
