Marcella Pabros-Clark began her path in Kulintang tradition around 1981 as part of the Kalilang Kulintang Ensemble and studied with Master Artists/Ethnomusicologists: the late Danongan Kalanduyan (Maguindanao) and Usopay Cadar (Maranao).She is a co-founder of Kulintang Arts (aka KulArts-sf.org) as part of its performance ensemble and traveled to the Philippines in ’89 to perform and learn from the Manobo and T’boli cultures as well. She continues to serve as a member of KulArts Board of Directors.
Marcella continues to study and perform Philippine traditional dance and music with Kultura Kapwa and is currently conducting research for her next artistic collaboration around Fil-Am artists who grew up in the SF Bay and began their careers in the late 60’s, 70’s & 80’s under the working title: KAUGNAYAN KOLECTIV.
As an interdisciplinary artist she shares her visions via multi-media, her work embraces the audience with visceral theatrical experiences: melding story with interactive movement, sound and song, video, photographic and animated imagery that entertains, informs and educates.
