Performance

The source of my performance activations is rooted in lifetimes and generations before I came into existence.

 

A peek into my maternal side takes me to the Visayas (Philippines) where my family rode the off-kilter wheels of a traveling the Zarzuela* (zar-ZWELL-luh) rolling into rural barangays** (bah-WRONG-guys) of the early 1900's, selling salt and sugarcane in between gigs.

*The zarzuela, originally from 1600's Basque traditions, was innovative in giving a dramatic function to musical numbers, through solo and ensemble dance, acting and operetta with orchestral accompaniment.
