The second in a series of Cultural Arts based workshop was held at Eagle Rock Recreation Center. The day started off with a barbecue picnic and potluck, as kids ran around the playground and grassy small hills. The first work hop on Language kicked off right after lunch, as expecting mom Charlene Ocab (7-months in) led a group of primarily elementary-age kids on Ilocano everyday terms and greetings. Lots of the kids left the classroom knowing how to introduce themselves and counting to ten in their new found dialect. The Music workshop focused on the various instruments of the Bontoc Takik dance. Winston Catanes, Mike Wandag, and Jonathan Wandag, led kids aged 4 to 54 on the rhythms of the solibao drum,the sharp timing of the tik-tik,and the various gangsa beats that produce the sound for the wedding/courtship dance. The event also had several non-Igorot attendees who found BIBAK's flyer invitation online and on social media, and wanted to participate and learn about Igorot cultural arts ... and BIMAK was happy to share. Thanks to all the folks who came in and supported, brought potluck, and helped set-up and break-down. Special thanks to Ray Tamarra and Mark Tecson for capturing some of the images for the day that you can see at the following link. Thanks to Jennifer Catanes, Dave Masen, and KG Padua for their hard work setting up. And biggest thanks to the kids who joined in on both of the workshops, with their respect, pride, and love of their heritage and arts.
