Kaloob regularly performs at a home built for the folk arts of the Philippines. It performs at other venues all over the country and abroad upon invitation.

  1. Regular Performances at KALOOB’s Home Stage

KALOOB has an extensive repertoire of music and dances from all over the Philippines, complete with traditional costumes. They are performed with the utmost consideration to indigenous context,
so that every performance informs and inspires the audience of the depth of Filipino culture and history.

KALOOB is based at the Folk Arts Theater, an 8,000 seat amphitheater within the Cultural Center of the Philippines complex. The landmark edifice was built to become the center of folk arts studies and performances.

Whether it is an intimate show for 50-100 people or a grand spectacle for thousands, KALOOB is equipped to mount any kind of performance, at the Folk Arts Theater, or in any other venue.

 
Performances

The Cordillera Suite

In the corded mountains of the north, from the Ifugaos, Kalingas, Bontocs and the like, is a myriad array of music and dances inspired by nature.

The Lumad Suite

the Manobo, Subanen, B’laan, T’boli, Talaandig, Tigwahanon and thirty other tribes possess a rich culture that is surpassed only by their spirituality.

The Muslim Suite

The breathtakingly beautiful dances of the Muslim were discouraged by Islamic teachings, but survived and flourished in the last six hundred years.

The Principalia Suite

The dances and music of the Filipino Wealthy during the Spanish Period was distinctly coquettish, romantic, formal and rich in attire.

The Barrio Suite

The peasants are the most outgoing, expressive and fun-loving. Their dances are superb metaphors of the Filipinos’ celebration of life.

Worship Dances

These numbers are choreographic explorations on the possibilities of indigenous folk dances as theater and contemporary Christian dance genre.
