Get ready for Filipino Pridays Boofs! On Fridays, we will be posting about one of the pages from the book Filipino Pride. The book promotes national pride, patriotism and a love for the country. We hope by the end of it you will have found something that will make you proud to be Filipino.

Dancer Email: New Year, New Ideas

Happy New Year Boofsters!

We survived it! We hope you’re enjoying your holiday breaks!

However, it’s that time again when we start preparing for our next production: ISA – The World is One!! Get excited, and get ready for incoming information!

Themes!

We are asking for your help in deciding a theme for us for both the script and the modern set!

We have some proposals for the script!

1) Grease

2) Adaptation of a Space/Future movie, show, etc.

Currently for our modern set -

We have a tentative theme for our set which is: space and the future. It has a story line – get ready for it: In the near distant future, post-bufsacalyptic Boofs find the remnants of BUFSA of the past, particularly a music playlist! The music playlist is like a time capsule of the songs and dances that represent us as a group and as a culture! More details to come should this set be developed!

- - -

Now, it’s your turn! If anyone has ideas in a possible set theme for both the script and the modern set, let your voice be heard!

Give us some feedback or send in some of your ideas by:

**MODERN SET THEME: Wednesday, January 9th!**
**SCRIPT THEME: Wednesday, January 16th!**

*While this is not the official choreographers’ interest e-mail, we will be looking for both traditional and modern set choreographers in the near future! Start your research on the many Filipino traditional dances we can perform!*

The official choreographer’s e-mail in which we will ask for choreographers will be sent out AFTER the modern set theme has been decided!!

Don’t hesitate to contact us about your questions, comments, or concerns!

Peace&Love,

DCs <3
