This case is about turnover and salary and the performer status in Ballet

Philippines. How to deal with the turnovers and in lack of promotions.

III.
Background of the Case
Founded in 1969 by Alice Reyes with the support of Eddie Elejar and the
Cultural Center of the Philippines, Ballet Philippines (BP) is widely recognized
today as a cornerstone of the Filipino cultural identity. Its audience represents a
cross-section of Manilas populace and includes visitors from around the country
and around the world. Each year outreach and educational programs introduce
new generations of audience members not only to dance, but to music and visual
art as well. BPs official school, the CCP Dance School, continues to produce
dancers of international caliber. As the dance company in residence at the
Cultural Center of the Philippines, Ballet Philippines is globally recognized as the
countrys flagship company in ballet and contemporary dance.
With a treasure trove of over 400 works, Ballet Philippines wide ranging,
eclectic repertory is unparalleled in Asia. From full-length classical ballets and
internationally recognized masterworks to indigenous works of Filipino folklore
and social issues, the company weaves a colorful tapestry of the Philippines rich
and diverse cultural heritage uniquely and distinctly Filipino.
The Companys achievements, coupled with the generous and prestigious
support of numerous local and national funding sources, have dramatically

strengthened BPs position as a world-class ballet company within the local,

national, and international arts communities.
As the Philippines premiere dance company, now in its 43rd season, BP
continues its vision of nurturing the best Fiipino dance artists, in year long
program of professional and developmental dance.

Review of Related Literature

Founded in 1987, Philippine Ballet Theatre (PBT) has established itself as
the pre-eminent classical ballet company in the Philippines today. It was borne
out of an alliance of leading dance groups in the eighties but immediately won
recognition as a resident ballet company of the Cultural Center of the Philippines.

Philippine Ballet Theatre has now expanded its vision and pursues the
goal of bringing the upscale art of dance to general appreciation among Filipino
audiences. With its concurrent preservation of the rich and elegant classical story
ballets, such as Swan Lake, Giselle, Nutcracker, and Raymonda, PBT also
launches contemporary ballets that are of emotional depth, dramatic realism and
stark inventiveness like the critically acclaimed Carmina Burana and Daughters
of Mourning (Bernarda Alba). Its repertoire continues to dazzle and amaze
various audiences with its distinct and poetic delicacy and refined sophistication.

The company has traveled in national and international tours presenting

the best of its Filipino and Western repertoire; highlighting the companys
commitment to artistic excellence in the classical, neo-classical and pop-classical
traditions.

A highly motivated professional company of performers, researchers,
trainors, cultural workers, and staff that produce works with the highest possible
artistic standards and who man a center for performance, training, research, and
operations.

VIII.

Alternative Courses of Action

1. The only other recourse for rewarding is by providing additional
compensation.
2. Yes! To make the performers more alive in performing and have them
an extra energy in performing live.

3. To reduce turnover, increasing of fund raising activity should develop to

subsidize some of the expensive incurred by the performer as well as

promising future performers.

Recommendation
I high recommend the first question and answer #3. A growing interest in
ballet as an extracurricular activity for children has helped make for a steady
growth in the number of ballet schools in country. The increasing number of ballet
schools is a double-edged sword. While it allows for a regular stream of students
who enroll at the CCP Dance school, it also act as a magnet for many of Ballet
Philippines performer, who are in search for a better income, to teach in them
and/or it encourage performers to set up their own schools.
