RIGODON

-Dance origin

The Rigodon---also called Rigodon de Honor---is a traditional dance from the Philippines that evolved from dances brought to the Pacific islands by Spanish settlers in the sixteenth century (the Rigodon dance was also said to be popular in French and Spanish courts). Historically, the dance is meant to represent a certain sense of elevated status among those who take part in it, and is often performed at galas, balls and other formal occasions celebrated by the rich and powerful, especially those in government.

    The collaborative dance piece is a creative fusion of Stephen Page and Bernadette Walong’s traditional and contemporary movements. The traditional Aboriginal movements are overtly shown throughout the piece and are evident when the women appear to be dancing with a broken leg. This movement is shown where the foot is flexed and the knee is bent representing the animalistic nature of Aboriginal culture. Throughout the section ‘Black’ the symbolism of heroism and authority of the male spirit are represented by the instinctive hunting style of the man and the movement of wiping of ochres across the forehead. Additionally the contemporary technique is represented in the section ‘Red’ by the use of parallel feet and contractions and release, used throughout the entire piece of Ochres. To this day, the unique fusion of…

    Traditional dances that were presented in the film share similarities in a way in which they can all identify each other. Even though, many aspects of their cultures are different when it comes to dancing their clothing, rhythm, and beats all tend to be similar. For instance, the Apache Indian people wear their own traditional clothing but, just as the European dancers share a circular drum and their dances are done in a circle.

    Rudolf Laban was born in Bratislava, Hungary on the 15th of December 1879 into an aristocratic, military family. Laban’s parents were Austro-Hungarian but his fathers family was from France and his Mothers family was from England. His father was an officer in the army, causing Laban and his family to relocate several times across Europe in his childhood. Across Europe, Laban was exposed to many forms of dance, through folk dances of Yugoslavia, Turkey, Germany and the ballroom of Vienna. At one instance in time he was in North Africa where he was able to encounter a primitive African tribe. This encounter allowed Laban insight into the tribal dance rituals which would eventually be a base for his later work. Laban later attended Military school…

    This time however, they danced it no longer to worship their native idols but a sign of reverence to the Santo Nino which is now enshrined at the San Agustin Church (renamed Basilica Minore del Santo Nino). Of course, through the years since 1521, the dance was a small ritual danced by a few in front of wooden idols or before the Santo Nino. In fact, at the Santo Nino Church where the image is consecrated, only the candle vendors could be seen dancing the Sinulog and making offerings. During the Santo Nino fiesta which falls on the third Sunday of January, children dressed moro-moro costumes also dance the Sinulog.…
