Description

"A Day in the Rice Fields" is a suite of rural folk dances performed by dance students of Dulce Capadocia's dance residency at LA County High School for the Arts under the directorship of the late Don Bondi, Chair of the Dance Department. Included in this suite of folk dances are: 1) Magtanim Ay Di Biro (the Planting Rice Song and Dance), 2) Binasuan, a dance that originated from Pangasinan. "Binasuan" means the use of drinking glasses. Dancers balance glasses on their heads and hands as they move and roll on the floor. 3) Tinikling, the national dance of the Philippines and named after the tikling bird that preys on the rice stalks of farmers. The farmers catch the birds using bamboo traps. The dance is a lively dance where dancers move in and out of bamboo poles.
