Improv dance battle winner announced

CONTEMPALABAN: Lockdown Edition, a month-long online competition that challenged performers to showcase their creativity, resourcefulness, and skills through a series of improvised challenges, has awarded young contemporary dancer Daphne Tamondong as the Grand Champion. For her winning act, Ms. Tamondong, a resident artist with Hiraya Contemporary Dance Company and a member of Kinection, had to portray a “person who swallowed an atomic bomb.” She explored and maximized her interpretation as she moved to the beats of “Lemon World” by Australian alternative psychedelic rock band Ocean Valley. Meanwhile, Runner-Up Eiana Nova, a Zambales-based hip-hop dancer and a member of A-Team PH, interpreted “a hatching snake egg” scenario. The two-time Contempalaban finalist displayed her versatility to the tune of “Kailan Tayo Sasayaw” by Filipino musical artist Frank Ely. The competition, which started from a pool of participants, underwent a series of qualifying rounds that required the dancers to improvise using the music and props designated by officials. The challenge was hosted by the Saint Benilde Romançon Dance Company (SBRDC)-Contemporary, the resident dance team of the De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde. The final performances can be viewed on the official Facebook page of SBRDC at https://www.facebook.com/romancondanceco.benilde.
