Alice Reyes & Ballet Philippines: A 50-Year Legacy in Dance

Alice Reyes & Ballet Philippines: A 50-year Legacy in Dance is a testament to a National Artist's singular vision that spawned a professional dance company, Ballet Philippines, now known for its fusion of ballet and modern dance. Seven personal essays trace the legacy of this pioneering visionary, from an intimate portrait of Alice Reyes to the creative facets of the professional dance company. The book also includes over 250 photographs that reveal the breadth and spectacle of the Ballet Philippines repertoire. As a kind of choreography of imagery, the book celebrates the history of dance by showing the finest moments artfully captured by the photographers past and present.
