The headline among 4 different pieces is FIREBIRD with choreographer George Birkadze and elaborate costumes designed by Mark Higgins. Truth of it is every piece is able to stand on its own and is vastly different from one another.

There’s no dull moment. The accompanying music literally sets the tone for the performances. For example there’s the romance of Johann Pachelbel’s Canon in D Major for MOVING TWO, the energy shifts to the unique vocals, rhythmic string and singular violin of Iva Bittova’s NE NEH LEDEJ.

SHIFTING WAIT choreographed by Carlo Pacis also has JM Cordero and Jemima Reyes. SHIFTING won Outstanding Choreography for Modern Dance from Gawad Buhay in 2010. This version is expanded to six dancers from four. Along with the expanded cast there is experimentation in the pairings: female to female, male to male.

How the dancers are able to change 180 degrees from one choreography to the next is a testament to their skill and versatility. Just like actors they have to inhabit moods and emotions in the characters they portray. They have to do this in less than a few minutes or as quickly as they can change costumes.

SHIFTING WAIT

Has the ingenious design of handles in the torso. This allows dancers to be lifted in different ways. Pulling them using the large handles can also be jarring not just for the dancer being dragged but also for audiences. When a jealous lover suddenly yanks on the handle away from another the effect can be heart rending. The lighting is one directional with high contrast which adds to the drama of movement. Carlo Pacis has to be given credit, there seems to be a more equal treatment between genders. Women also carry men instead of just the usual way.

MOVING TWO

Highlights the synchronous movements of a pair in this case and Jemima Reyes and Victor Maguad. Jemima is also in the title role of Firebird while Vic is Koschei the Immortal. Conductor Olivier Ochanine has modified Johann Pachelbel’s Canon in D Major into a slightly faster tempo. This gives the oft-used melody for weddings seem more exciting at the same time retaining its romance. Having the grand sound of all the instruments in the Philippine Philharmonic makes it a moving experience, enhancing the already powerful performance of Maguad and Reyes. Jemima is sometimes interchanged with Katrene San Miguel. The matched height and frame of Vic and Jemima adds to the fluidity and timed movements of the pair.

NE NEH LEDEJ

This is also the title of the track by Czech singer and violinist Iva Bittova (not performed live unlike Philharmonic). She has a very unique style where she scats. There’s almost a beat box quality to the vocals creating rhythm along with plucking her violin string. Nearly the whole BP Company joins in this piece. The huge cast has a more powerful effect especially when they leap and bound at the same time. There’s a lot of athleticism as with all ballet but even more so here.

FIREBIRD

This was a hit production for BP back in 1978 and featured the best dancers of the country. This version is reimagined from the spectacular costumes by Mark Higgins, the set by Ohm David. Russian trained, U.S. based choreographer George Birkadze also modified the main character of the FIREBIRD as well.

For this all-star creative team FIREBIRD is a true labor of love. Mark Higgins said, “People were asking why don’t you sell the pieces (to make it feasible) no. 1 I don’t think I can repeat a head dress like this. 2. The whole point of doing this is I want to support the dancers well and put them in something lavish. There’s a real psychological effect from my clothing.” In 1998 Higgins collaborated wth Ballet Philippines in designing costumes for choreographer Agnes Locsin’s FOUR LAST SONGS. He has been co-director of SLIM’s Fashion and Art School since 2009.

Birkadze talked about their concept, “This Firebird is really from Asia. This Firebird is authentic, unique. Mark did such a great job, Ohm did such a great job. Everything in this firebird lets say 99% transmitted to the stage. Even the choreography, I studied Filipino dance, Indonesian dance we did deep research. Its not just choreography we’ve achieved something very special.”

BP Artistic Director Paul Alexander Morales explained why they chose FIREBIRD,“ We only have 4-5 shows this season. We really have to be deliberate about which particular show to comeback and also because we have so many pieces. So at the moment Ballet Philippines has a repertoire of about 500. It’s hard to prioritize which piece to do. In the history there is so many interesting pieces. With Firebird, internationally they did it 2011 about 5 years ago. Firebird premiered 1911 and also Stravinsky’s centennial. For this side it’s the spirit of it. You will see it’s like the original where there’s a big emphasis on the design and overall schematic. This is with the purpose of creating exciting work for the audience. On one level there is artistic priorities. The other level is what we think would be interesting production to create. We always discuss the seasons back and forth and many times. There’s a factor of fate on how everything comes together. Napapanahon siya the same with Swan Lake. Swan Lake was the first production I performed in as a dancer for Ballet Philippines. That’s the root of why I’m a dancer and why I’m still here because that first production we had with Mia Barredo and Morishita with Nonoy Froilan for me that’s a life changing experience. As director I wish we could also achieve the same for the audience. So we can have more people supporting the ballet.”

BP President Margie Moran adds, “Margie: We make sure that what we choose is palatable to the audience. Its something that will excite the audience to come and watch the show. We have a very good pool of dancers and we want to put them in a position to where they can really excel and go to the next level as dancers. Although every year we lose talent most of whom go abroad. But we have young ones that come up in the ladder. We’re also excited we have very good dancers. We want to bring out the best in them. The past years we’ve been successful. We’ve done very well in showcasing our best masterpieces. It has given us financial rewards we are able to produce better shows and train our dancers well.”

The most powerful performance needs the proper mood, through its surroundings and costumes, ambience if you will. This is where the power and magic of Salvador Bernal comes in. While not being gaudy or complex they somehow very easily transport audiences in this case to Neverland.

Ballet Philippines’ Peter Pan will run from December 4-13, 2015 at the CCP’s Tanghalang Nicanor Abelardo (Main Theater). If there is only one live show you will take your family to make it BP’s Peter Pan. Whether your age is 6 or 96 it’s sure to be a thrill.

Peter pan is one of the biggest hits from BP. Artistic Director Paul Alexander Morales said, “Some people tell us do it every year. Because we’re a repertory company we don’t want to keep repeating the same show. Its the most repeated show, a show we love and very proud of it. Its from world culture but its also very Filipino because its Edna’s (Froilan) choreography and Salvador Bernal’s design.”

During the flight to Neverland a singular red moon hangs behind Peter, Wendy & the kids. The heavenly body is there but not overpowering in its presence. It aids the illusion of light and travelling a great distance.

Sets & Costumes

Although the first Ballet Philippines version was more than 2 decades ago the sets designs are still very much from Salvador Bernal’s work. Morales was able to explain how they achieved this, “It was designed in 1983 we’ve done it 6 times already but what’s very fortuitous about that is when Badong was here they built the production design center. Part of that mandate is to preserve the actual designs. The sets we don’t have storage space we have to recycle each every time.”

Badong is the Filipino nickname for National Artist for Theater Design Salvador Bernal. From official program: He has ‘designed more than 300 productions distinguished for their originality since 1969. As the acknowledged guru of contemporary Filipino theater design Bernal has shared his skills with younger designers through his classes at U.P., A.D.M.U. He also created programs for the CCP Production Design Center which he himself conceptualized and organized.’

Some of the costumes were also copied from original designs, “The costumes we are able to keep. Maybe one or two are still from the original show. Sometimes we repeat them but usually we can copy from the original. Some are brand new I won’t tell you which. Some are very old. You’ll be surprised some of the costumes are from the 1970s or 80s, it happens. But of course it depends if it still looks good. It’s really our pleasure and honor to show them again. Not just the costumes but how the sets move. From a big cave it becomes a boat and all of that. All that magic, that’s really Salvador’s contribution and their great collaboration with our dressmakers.”

In order to ensure the designs are followed to the exacting standards of Bernal, his long time student and apprentice Ricardo ‘Eric’ Cruz was assigned the lead. As consultant he heads the reproduction of these designs and sometimes adapts them to the current needs. Eric also serves as Chief Culture and the Arts officer of the Production Design and Technical Services Division under the Production and Exhibition Dept. of the CCP.

The mermaid lagoon was more dependent on costumes. Instead of literal mermaid fins Bernal completely did away with it. He emphasized the bare beautiful legs of the BP Ballerinas and knew they were just as enchanting.

In the lead role is Jean Marc Cordero. He considers it a privilege to wear Badong Bernal’s costumes, “Fan ako ng costume ni sir Badong. Palagi may weight may texture pag inilawan mo dumidikit yung ilaw. Hindi siya separate sa ilaw. So ever since kahit anung costume na ginawa niya. Sila lang naman gumawa ng costume ng BP. Pag may ginawa akong classic na BP work alam kong sila yon. Nakakabili sila ng magagandang tela before. Pagmay magandang tela before ngayon pinapattern na lang. Mahirap hanapin certain tela. Pero atleast nandun pa rin yung look. Yung palette niya ang galing ng mix and match ng colors.”

Lighting & Choreography

Working in concert with production design is the fine art of lighting. Through hues and shapes of the light we’re convinced it’s in a lagoon, Neverland or a London bedroom. Lighting director John Batalla is a veteran of countless productions not just from BP but Tanghalang Pilipino and many concerts. He has also won Gawad Buhay for his work in Repertory Philippines’ EQUUS in 2010 and BP’s ENCANTADA (2011) by National Artist for Dance Agnes Locsin.

Choreography is at the heart of the staging as dialogue is set to a minimum. Morales describes Edna Froilan’s work, “The choreography is quite eclectic she only has a few characters on point. Some do a little modern some Broadway sensibility. But the great thing about Edna is she has a childlike spirit. That appeals to the children.”

Peter Pan has a special place in her heart having been born in the same year the first musical was produced on Broadway. And having just given birth to her eldest son when given the chance to choreograph, what was then the very first ballet version. Her husband Nonoy Froilan was to be in the lead role of that original production.

As a contributing writer to the Philippine Star, The Manila Times, Business Daily, her own notes best describe the experience: “Who really is Peter Pan? The answer is an open window to our imaginations. Why didn’t he want to grow up? How did the Lost Boys get to Neverland? Why does Hook with a British accent have such a Spanish flair? I tell the dancers go figure! Create your own history be an onion and create those layers to become tangible characters.”

“Ballet Philippines is now on it’s sixth restaging of Peter Pan; beginning in 1983, through 2015. Every time Peter soars at the CCP Main Theater, he transports us to whimsical wafts of Tinkerbell dust to Neverland where time is never planned. There we become young, pure and carefree again. We don’t grow up, we grow down the very core of our being by thinking lovely thoughts. His spirit is contagious. We keep going back to the state of unconditional joy.”—Edna Vida Froilan
