P-NOiSE/NORDLYS Manila Dance Edition is the first major event featuring Nordic dancers performing in the Philippines under one curated project. P-NOiSE and NORDLYS join forces to present a series of contemporary dance and performance art productions. The event showcases 20 talented Nordic dance artists and choreographers to perform for the first time in Manila, Philippines on the 15th-18th of December 2016.
Such an event has never been done in the Philippines and promises to bring performance arts with a unique Nordic twist to Filipino audiences – in the urban space of Manila. Open dance classes with professional dancers and choreographers are also in the programme.
P-NOISE / NORDLYS Contemporary Dance Edition sets the stage for the continuous global cultural exchange through P-Noise’s events inside and outside Europe. This is also part of celebrating 70 years of diplomatic relations between the Philippines and Denmark. In a larger context, P-Noise/NORDLYS Manila Dance Edition is a stepping stone for P-Noise’s 3-year plan to establish a “Philippine-Nordic Music, Film and Arts Connection”.
The project is funded by Kulturkontakt Nord, Nordiska Kulturfonden, Statens Kunstfond, and is organized in collaboration with the Royal Danish Embassy in the Philippines, The National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA), and Pineapple Lab. Our exclusive media partner in Manila is 2nd Avenue.
