The FEU Dance Company takes center stage on March 28 and 29 for their major concert entitled “FRAMES: Elevating the Unseen.”

Following the recent success of the FEU Dance Company (FDC) in World of Dance Philippines 2025 where they placed 2nd and won both the Best Costume and Best Theme categories, the FDC stages their annual major concert in the historic FEU Auditorium on Friday and Saturday, March 28 & 29, 2025 at 6PM.

Using the backdrop of Philippine folk dances and an open style segment choreographed by the FDC’s members and artistic director, Michael Barry Que, FRAMES: Elevating the Unseen presents a collection of stories of FEU’s “unseen” community — the individuals who contribute to the University in one way or another yet remain in the background.

A frame highlights an image, draws attention to its details, and emphasizes its significance. In the concert, frames symbolize the windows through which we witness the narratives of the unseen — those whose efforts remain unrecognized yet are essential to our school’s smooth operations. Through frames, the audience is offered a structured yet intimate view into these stories. More than just a visual element, frames also highlight each performance as a captured moment, a snapshot of truth presented piece by piece, much like a moving gallery of untold experiences. Through this concert, the pieces do not just tell stories; they are curated and framed, allowing them to be seen in their full depth and humanity.

A key goal of the concert is to amplify these stories, enhancing recognition and shedding light on the invaluable social contributions of our school’s unsung heroes—to “elevate” their visibility as an expression of gratitude and empowerment. Through movement, the performance aims to bring life to their stories, honoring and celebrating their essential roles within the community. For this year’s concert, Artistic Director Michael Que highlights that “It’s not about creating perfect pieces, but making honest ones to authentically highlight the stories being told through the language of dance.”

Part I of the concert will feature an array of Philippine Folk Dances under the overall direction of Mr. Que and Zahreen Sadia, the FDC’s Folk Dance Coach. This segment features intricate dances from the Cordillera, Lumad, Muslim, Maria Clara, and Rural suites aiming to showcase, first and foremost, the unseen side of Philippine culture and rarely performed dances that need to be elevated. Part II will feature open style pieces that capture the unseen stories of the FEU Community with choreographies by Xyron Apostol (IAS, 2027), El Bautista (ITHM, 2026), Jaztin Correa (ITHM, 2028), Ronieth Dayao (IE, 2025), Alliana Dionisio (IAS, 2026), Arianne Dumol (IAS, 2027), Johann Jabrica (IAS, 2027), Eadward Lladoc (FIT, 2027), Jaina Noble (IAS, 2028), Tonnie Padayao (IAS, 2026), Akira Padilla (ITHM, 2027), Norberto Martin Pascual (IABF, 2026), Rose Adelaine Perez (IAS, 2026), Radiance Sta. Ana (IAS, 2027), Amadeus Sto. Domingo (IAS, 2026), Joseph Torres (IE, 2027), Caroline Vasquez (IAS, 2027), and Michael Barry Que.

The FDC Alumni are also set to participate with choreographies and staging by Jeffrey Inocencio (IE, 1998) and Julius Quitalig (IAS, 2001).

FRAMES: Elevating the Unseen graces the stage of the FEU Auditorium on the following dates:

- March 28, 2025 (Friday)
- March 29, 2025 (Saturday)

Tickets can be purchased through Ticket2Me and on the FEU Dance Company’s official Facebook page with prices at Php 100 for the FEU Community, Php 200 for those from outside FEU, and Php 300 for the Loge.
