Blessyl buan
Blessyl Buan, a contemporary dancer, choreographer, and visual artist, crafts colourful interdisciplinary works echoing rhythm, movement, and land-based spirituality. With a Kinesiology degree (2001) and a Chiropractic doctorate (2005), her academic background provides a deep understanding of the human body. This foundation, combined with over two decades of professional dance experience, enhances her artistry with a heightened kinesthetic intelligence. Her process delves into Philippine Indigenous traditions, exploring joy, interconnectedness and cultural identity. Supported by Ontario Arts Council, her dance solo “RARA” evolved from video to a live performance. Her solo exhibition, “Kapwa Kaleidsocope” (2024) reflects her dance form through visual arts.
