MANILA, Philippines — Philanthropist and arts patron Sofia Zobel Elizalde will discuss the evolving landscape of Philippine dance in “HistophTV,” a virtual talk show exploring the country’s dance heritage and future. She will share insights on sustainability in the industry and the role of dance education in shaping performers’ lives.
As the founder and director of Steps Dance Studio, Elizalde will highlight her experiences in dance training and philanthropy. She will also discuss the Steps Scholarship Foundation, a non-profit organization that provides opportunities for young Filipino dancers from diverse backgrounds to pursue professional careers.
Produced and directed by students of the De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde (DLS-CSB) Bachelor of Performing Arts Major in Dance (BPAD) Program, the webinar aims to showcase dance as more than just an art form — it is a transformative discipline that can create meaningful impact.
The event is a collaborative effort among BPAD students, with Alyssi Lynnett Fandiño and Maria Adrianna Lim as production managers, and teams handling marketing, editing, and creatives. Students from the Bachelor of Arts in Creative Industries Management also contributed, with Margaux Yebes overseeing marketing and Wryanne Claryz Bungay and Froilan Marcus Isodoro handling creative aspects.
The interview was led by 2024 History of Philippine Dance (Histoph) students with “HistophTV” organized under the guidance of Benilde School of Arts, Culture and Performance Dance Program chairperson and Histoph professor Maria Lucina De Santos.
The hour-long web event will be streamed on the BenildeArts YouTube channel on Feb. 15 at 5 p.m. It is free and open to the public. Register via tinyurl.com/HISTOPHTVSofiaZobelElizalde
