'Gulod' comes from the Tagalog word ‘hilltop’ and ‘Tanawin’ means a view point. Gulod Tanawin is a collective experiment, drawing inspiration from Southeast Asian traditions, martial arts, and contemporary sonic production to conjure up possibilities– looking towards a future. ‘Gulod Tanawin’ is a tutelage, a spirit guardian to draw creative intentions from. Every performance is to summon Gulod Tanawin and share it with the audience. In a sense, the audience and the performers are all Gulod Tanawin collectively for a moment. For Gulod Tanawin, deep time is flat–there is no past, present, and future.
We're grateful to collaborate and produce on the shared, stolen, unceded, ancestral and traditional territories of Penelakut, Lamalcha, Hwitslum and other Hul’qumi’num speaking peoples, as well as the ceded territories of Tsawwassen First Nation, on what is now known as Galiano Island, British Columbia. We recognize the complex impacts that hosting settlers and non-settlers has on the Indigenous land and peoples of this area, and we aim to be responsible and accountable for these impacts and our footprint—whether cultural, environmental or social.
We acknowledge the generous support of our partners and funders:
