About Labayen Dance/SF:

"powerful, gritty and inspirational, a true gift to Bay Area audiences."  Critical Dance

Labayen Dance/SF (LD/SF), founded in 1994, Labayen Dance/SF (LD/SF) is dedicated in nurturing the artistic activities and the choreographic work of its founder and director, Enrico Labayen. LD/SF's repertory stems from Mr. Labayen's unique background; it combines his firm base in classical and modern American dance with his Philippine heritage and its eastern philosophical and artistic assumptions. The company seeks to introduce the mainstream dance audience to Asian-American aesthetics and sensibilities through the presentation of dance performances. This is accomplished directly through the blending of Asian and American themes, music, and performers, and also indirectly through the quiet, focused grace and delicacy prevalent in Asian culture, as fused with the attack and unflinching individuality of American culture. The juxtaposition of these two cultural forces within Mr. Labayen's work has led to the creation of a new, unique physical and artistic language.

Central to Enrico Labayen's work is the desire to communicate with the audience. Whether defining a narrative through movement, or eliciting a specific emotional response, the dramatic integrity of his work draws the audience in, encouraging them to take part in a collective artistic experience. At LD/SF, we envision a concert scenario in which the audience, regardless of cultural, gender and political background, connects deeply with our artistic and cultural ideals. We embrace our culture, while simultaneously challenging stereotypes and pushing boundaries, believing that art and dance can serve as a vehicle for understanding and identification between all human beings.

Labayen Dance/SF is also enjoying tremendous success nationally and abroad at venues such as the Delacorte Dance Festival (NYC); Lincoln Center Out of Doors Festival (NYC) ;  The Singapore International Arts Festival; Odyssey Arts Exposition (Singapore); Internationales Tanz Theater (Bonn, Germany); Dance For Tolerance (Bielefeld, Germany); Dance with Objects Festival (Potsdam, Germany); Stuttgart Tanz Festival (Germany); Amman International Theater Festival (Jordan); Filipino American Arts Exposition (USA); Music and Arts Festival @ Columbia University's Miller Theater (New York City, USA);  Lesbian and Gay Dance Festival (San Francisco, USA); Human Rights International Arts Festival (San Francisco, USA); Men Dancing Fest (San Francisco, USA); Autumn Dance Series (San Francisco, USA); Bay Area Dance Series (Oakland/San Francisco USA); International Theatre Festival (Philippines); UNESCO-International Theatre Institute's Theatre World Theatre Olympics (Philippines).
