PINOY DOKYU
COLLECTION
The Pinoy Dokyu Collection pays homage to a Philippine culture that is embodied in the knowledge, memories, and experiences of Filipino dancers. Featured here are narratives continually performed by Filipinos who put movement in focus with how they make sense of their identities and realities.
Welcome to the Pinoy Dokyu Collection—an affirmation of narratives that are often left unheard of in the discourse of Philippine culture—and a recognition of dance documentaries as forms of art, preservation, and activism.
