Kenneth has also been a dancer and deviser of Buong-Buo, an audience-participative dance piece created by the Buong-Buo Collective and premiered at Life World. New iterations of Buong-buo have since been commissioned for the SFX Festival at Wild Project and ?! New Works Festival at the Brick in 2026.

Buong-Buo

Kenneth is a founding member, lead deviser and co-performer of the contemporary dance & performance art group Buong-Buo Collective, alongside Red Concepcion, Carlos Lising and Danilo Zepeda.

“Buong-buo,” very roughly translated from Tagalog, means total completeness or wholeness—both in community and within one’s soul. The piece invites audiences to question what it means to belong while navigating intersecting cultural identities.When does one go from being Filipino to being part of the diaspora? How does that affect one’s art? These questions and more continue to inspire the Buong Buo Collective.
