She was the founding director of Bayanihan Philippine National Folk Dance Company. She was named National Artist of the Philippines for dance in 1988.[1][2][3][4] In almost four decades, she had worked tirelessly to elevate the art of folk dancing into the realm of theatre. She had been able to adapt indigenous dance traditions to the exactions of the modern stage and performances of her creation had placed the Philippines in the international cultural map. Early lifeBorn in Iloilo, Reyes is the daughter of Col. Leon S. Reyes of the Philippine Constabulary (PC) who later became a brigadier general and a military governor, and Antonia Faustino, a nurse. She grew up amidst dances and music. Her mother's family was rich in musical talent and her patriarch who was a musician could play many kinds of instruments. He was ubiquitous in fiestas and special occasions in his hometown of Calamba.[5] Her father was an ardent lover for folk and ethnic art. Due to the demands of his military career, her family was always on the move and had consecutively been assigned to Iloilo, Jolo, Kalibo, Capiz, Surigao, Dumaguete, Bacolod, Negros Oriental, Cotabato, Cagayan de Oro, Misamis Oriental, Lanao and Mountian Province. Reyes learned to appreciate the distinct cultures of the various ethnic groups and was an active participant in the celebrations of festivals and rituals. It was against this backdrop where Reyes developed an enduring interest for the arts, for music and dance.[6] Education and careerWhile in Baguio, Reyes was enrolled in a ballet class run by a Russian emigre. Later she obtained a course in Educaton, major in Physical Education. Her experience was further enriched when she was asked by Francisca Reyes-Aquino, a pioneer in the retrieval of folk dances, to assist in documenting folk dances. Upon graduation, she taught at her alma mater, the Philippine Women's University. At this juncture, Reyes took to seriously collect and document tribal and ethnic dances which she felt constitute a great cultural wealth waiting to be tapped and elevated to stage presentations. It was just a matter of time when her creative touch in choreography would transform these tribal dances to a visual art immensely admired by discriminating audiences throughout the world. At PWU she organized the Filipiniana Folk Music and Dance Committee which concentrated in choreographed folk dances and presenting them during fiestas and special occasions.[7] To further enhance her studies, she enrolled at San Francisco University (graduate studies in dance drama) and at Martha Graham School of Modern Dance at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and also at Hanyagi School of Dancing of Japan.[8] Performances abroadHer group, later renamed PWU Philippine Delegation of Dancers and Musicians, had the opportunity to travel to Daka, East Pakistan and participate in the so-called International Festival of Dance and Music. This was held from December 25, 1954 to January 7, 1955. It was a remarkable experience except that the host in Pakistan could not provide a piano and could only produce a guitar as an accompaniment. After this initial foray, Reyes went on to complete the repertoire of her performing group and drew on the native dances as source of materials. Out of Lanao and Cotabato, she harvested various dances, such as the dance of the slave, the dance of the warrior and the dance of the Muslim princess called "Singkil". Her creative choreography provided color, character and music which enriched the program of her Bayanihan Dance Company as it sallied forth to perform at Brussels World Exposition in 1958 and at Winter Garden of New York. Reyes earned the accolades of her admiring audiences as she gave "form, substance and exciting color to what could have been simple ethnic dances," which she elevated to an art in a theater. Among the widely acclaimed dances she had staged were the following: Singkil, a Bayanihan signature number based on a Maranao epic poem; Vinta, a dance honoring Filipino sailing prowess; Tagabili, a tale of tribal conflict; Pagdiwata, a four-day harvest festival condensed into a six-minute breath-taking spectacle; Salidsid, a mountain wedding dance ; Idaw, Banga and Aires de Verbena.'[9][10] The repertoire of Bayanihan which had woken the interest and admiration of the artists and art lovers typically ".. start with a war dance of the Mountain tribes, followed by a festival and rites in marriage, then changed in tempo with a presentation of the regal dances of Castilian colonization, later to pick up in a different setting as it portrayed Muslim dances and various regional dances of different colors and texture. All these depict the happy mixture of influences coming from Malaya, India, China and Persia. The choreography wrapped up with a portrayal in dance numbers of the rural life in a barrio, planting rice, harvesting, fishing and constructing a house.."[11] These choreographed dances had all earned praises and rave reviews from artists and audiences alike in their world tours in Americas, Europe, Asia, Australia and Africa.[12] Books
