Ballet Philippines Present : Alice Reyes "Cinderella"

Ni
The quintessential rags to riches fairy tale as retold by National Artist Alice Reyes will be staged anew by Ballet Philippines from November 28 to December 7 at Tanghalang Nicanor Abelardo (CCP Main Theater). This lively and humorous production will bring much laughter and romance to the holiday season.

First staged in 1981, Alice Reyes' “Cinderella” is a joyful mixture of kings, princes, fairies, and animals set to a collage of music by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, who composed some of the world's greatest ballet music. Although intended as a ballet for children, both young and young-at-heart audiences are sure to be enthralled by this lighthearted production. This will be Cinderella’s fifth re-staging and 33rd anniversary.
"What we, at Ballet Philippines, would hope for is that our re-telling of the treasured children's story of ‘Cinderella’ will fill the hearts of all in the audience with child-like joy and wonder and an early sprinkling of holiday cheer for the coming Christmas season," says Alice Reyes, who was named National Artist for Dance earlier this year. Reyes is also Ballet Philippines’ founder and Artistic Director Emeritus.
The role of Cinderella will be played by Soloist Denise Parungao and Junior Company Member Monica Amanda Gana. This is Gana's first lead role with Ballet Philippines, while Parungao was last seen in the title role of Ballet Philippines’ “Giselle” in 2013 and 2014. Playing opposite them as Prince Charming are Principal Dancers Jean Marc Cordero and Richardson Yadao.
To add even more magic to this production, Madame Isabelle Garachon, wife of the French Ambassador to the Philippines and former professional dancer, will be playing the role of Cinderella's wicked stepmother, alternating with Ballet Philippines President Margie Moran Floirendo.

“Cinderella” will be performed at the Tanghalang Nicanor Abelardo (CCP Main Theater) on the following dates and times: November 28 (3PM & 8PM), November 29 (2PM & 6PM), November 30 (2PM & 6PM), December 5 (3PM & 8PM), December 6 (10AM & 6PM), and December 7 (2PM & 6PM).
The artistic and creative teams of Cinderella are led by Alice Reyes (Choreographer), Salvador Bernal(+) (Set & Costume Designer), Monino Duque (Lighting Designer), Barbara Tan-Tiongco (Technical Director), Ricardo Cruz (Set Consultant), Dennis Maristany (Costume Consultant), and Victor Ursabia and Ramon Victoria (Restagers).


The Character in Ballet Philippines Present : Alice Reyes "Cinderella"

Cinderella
The beautiful and kindhearted daughter of a nobleman. Orphaned and left under the care of his second wife, Brunhilda, she was reduced to the post of a servant in her own house.

Prince Charming
The eldest of three brothers, he enjoys the comfort and leisure that come with life as a royal. Naturally contemplative, he starts to wonder what more lies in store for him.  

Brunhilda
A twice-widowed woman made rich by her first husband (a tax collector) and respectable by her second (a nobleman, Cinderella’s father). She loves her own daughters Prunella and Griselda dearly, and is eager for them to marry up into royalty.

Prunella & Griselda
Cinderella’s vain, awkward, and utterly unrefined stepsisters. Disdainful of the servant girl’s natural beauty and grace, they make her life difficult with their endless demands.

King Christopher Rupert Vladimir Alexander Francois Reginald Herman
The jolly and beloved father of the three Princes and a kind, benevolent leader of the kingdom. He is getting old and anxious for his sons to settle down, marry, and finally give him grandchildren.

Prince Desire & Prince Fortune
Prince Charming’s brothers and the hapless targets of the stepsisters’ charms. More easygoing than their brother, they are happy and contented with their lives as young royals.

Fairy Godmother
Cinderella’s guardian ever since she was orphaned. Kindness personified, she rewards Cinderella’s good deeds and gentle nature. Ultimately, she helps her to find love and live happily ever after.

Maria Ozawa wants Pinoys in next porn film

Ni
MANILA, Philippines - Japanese porn star Maria Ozawa wants Filipinos as her screen (and bed) partners in her next movie. Ozawa said in her Facebook page on Wednesday that an audition will be held for Filipino men in January. "Mabuhay! Philippines!" Ozawa said. "I bought Globe sim!....audition for the bukkake will be in January," she added. She did not say if she is already in Manila but rumors of her visit to the country made rounds on Internet forums and adult blogs just before Christmas. "Hello guys! Who wants bukkake? Audition will be on January 2012," she repeated in her Facebook page, which is linked to her official blog. The post has received more than 10,000 "likes," 535 "shares" and more than 2,400 replies. However, no one has yet to take up her offer as of posting time. Ozawa has made several dozen adult videos and non-porn movies. Her last adult video was released in April 2010. The same year, Ozawa had t

Film Review : Just The 3 Of Us

Ni
My notes on Just The 3 Of Us: 1. The movie reminded me so much of this late 90's rom-com with Matthew Perry as a happy-go-lucky bachelor who had a one night stand with a sultry Salma Hayek in Vegas. She ended up pregnant, they got married, and then discovered each other's personalities while fixing family and work issues. It was called Fools Rush In and I would have asked you to rent it in a local Video City, but I think all of their stores closed ages ago. 2. In this version though, the girl CJ (Jennylyn Mercado) would rather stalk the potential father and be the emotional punching bag of Uno (John Lloyd Cruz) who had a bad temper (F-words everywhere!), an a-hole attitude ("So what? Buhay ko 'to. Kahit mag-swimming ako sa alak wala ka pakialam!"), crazy reasoning (he wanted to take care of CJ and the baby, but made her sleep on an uncomfortable sofa bed in the living room with poor ventilation), and a drinking problem that were all supposedly reasonab
