The FEU Dance Company (FDC), which recently placed second in World of Dance Philippines 2025, will stage its annual major concert dubbed “FRAMES: Elevating the Unseen” on March 28 and 29.

Through Philippine folk dances and an open-style segment choreographed by FDC members and artistic director Michael Barry Que, the company will present a collection of stories of Far Eastern University’s “unseen” community, or those who contribute to FEU in essential ways yet remain in the background. 

A frame highlights an image, draws attention to its details, and emphasizes its significance. In the concert, frames will symbolize the windows through which the narratives of the unseen will be witnessed. Like a moving gallery, frames will highlight each performance as a captured moment.

A key goal of the concert is to amplify the stories of FEU’s unseen heroes, to “elevate” their visibility as an expression of gratitude and empowerment. Says artistic director Que: “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 features rarely performed Philippine folk dances under the overall direction of Que and FDC folk dance coach Zahreen Sadia. Part II is devoted to open-style pieces that capture the unseen stories of the FEU community, with choreographies by Xyron Apostol, El Bautista, Jaztin Correa, Ronieth Dayao, Alliana Dionisio, Arianne Dumol, Johann Jabrica, Eadward Lladoc, Jaina Noble, Tonnie Padayao, Akira Padilla, Norberto Martin Pascual, Rose Adelaine Perez, Radiance Sta. Ana, Amadeus Sto. Domingo, Joseph Torres, Caroline Vasquez, and Que. FDC alumni are participating with choreographies and staging by Jeffrey Inocencio and Julius Quitalig.

Tickets to “FRAMES: Elevating the Unseen,” at 6 p.m. on March 28 and 29 at the FEU Auditorium, may be purchased through Ticket2Me and the FEU Dance Company’s official Facebook page. Prices are at P100 for the FEU community, P200 for those from outside FEU, and P300 for Loge seating.
