It seems then that this piece of information is something we can no longer hold back. Despite the precarious situation and financial crisis gripping the rest of the world, there are the persistent ones who would simply rather plunge into the treacherous edge of uncertainty and sensuous unknown. Because this is what the mad savage children have been raised to do. Oblivious to constant reality-checks and imminent pragmatism. After much thought weighing gains and losses, we have finally made up our minds and push through we shall. What difference will another love crime be after all? Anyway, this one is long overdue of a proper showing at the home front. So it is with much pleasure that we invite you to the kick-off fund raising performance of Beneath Polka-dotted Skies before it moves over to Hannover, Germany for the 23rd International Competition for Choreographers Hanover on April 3, Friday at Green Papaya Art Projects.

Beneath Polka-dotted Skies, choreographed by Donna Miranda, won the Jury Prize Award at the 2007 Yokohama Dance Collection-R Solo X Duo Competition in Yokohama, Japan in 2007. It has been invited to the Live Arts Bangkok Festival (Thailand, 2007), WiFi Body Festival (Philippines, 2007) and FreeDance International Festival (Ukraine, 2008). And while it's been said over and over that old dogs can't learn new tricks, no one said anything about unlearning old ones. Surely, nothing sounds more enticing than a virgin going through that first baby step. So is Marah Arcilla who will be performing the piece in Germany as her coming-out party of sorts. Also performing for the evening are Blums Borres and The Lovegangsters, lending the conspiratorial air that makes everything smell so warm and cuddly.

Now on its 23rd year, the International Competition for Choreographers Hanover maintains a prominent position in the German and international dance scene. Every year, it receives approximately 160 entries from 45 countries, attended by international top class jury. It has since recieved worldwide critical appeal. The competition provides a platform for new young choreographers to present their work on the world's stage to present to a renowned expert jury and experience the advantages of professional stage technology, not to mention the opportunity to exchange ideas with colleagues and the audience.
