Ea Torrado, the visionary artistic director and founder of Daloy Dance Company, recently embarked on a profound spiritual journey, channeling the energy of 'Caburayan,' the Ilokano Goddess of Healing. This remarkable experience was a collective tarot reading, where Ea offered her body as a vessel to convey channelled messages from this healing deity.
In this spiritual journey, Ea Torrado expressed her gratitude to her ancestors, with a special acknowledgment of her biological father hailing from Ilocos Norte. This connection to her roots added depth and authenticity to the experience, as she tapped into the energy and wisdom of 'Caburayan' to bring healing and guidance.

Being in Taiwan to share her workshops and performances with fellow contemporary and traditional dancers, Ea was overwhelmed by the incredible support and camaraderie within this artistic community. Her journey, encapsulated in 'Caburayan: A Ritual Performance,' became a fusion of spirituality, dance, and healing.
This spiritual exploration in the form of a ritual performance in 2023 is a testament to Ea Torrado's commitment to pushing boundaries and merging traditional and contemporary elements. It's an embodiment of her artistic innovation and the seamless blend of culture, spirituality, and creativity. Ea Torrado's dedication to her craft continues to inspire those who witness her work.
The channeling of 'Caburayan' and the performance that followed represent a unique intersection of art and spirituality, providing a powerful and transformative experience for both the performer and the audience. Ea Torrado's journey serves as a reminder of the deep connections we have with our roots and the potential for healing and growth through artistic expression.
