As a visual artist with a background in ballet, Filipinos artist Eisa JOCSON uses her own body as the location of experimentation to explore body politics in service and entertainment industry at the effects of a globalized world. The Filipino Super-KTV-Woman Band is a performance by an all-female trio, which unpacks the colonial formation and socioeconomic conditions of Filipino show bands and relocates the performance within the KTV phenomenon. Darna Training emerged from unresolved questions within the creation process; Darna is an iconic Filipino super heroine, similar to Superwoman/Wonder Woman.

In this body workshop, participants will get a physical glimpse into the process and overall training of the Superwomen performers. The workshop will go through basic movements and vocal routines from the Darna Training repertoire. By switching from people who are entertained to the role of entertaining, participants will experience how the body is subject to certain purpose in need of catering the audience, to reflect on identity by observing the relationship between body, gender, work, society, and commercialization.

作为具有芭蕾舞背景的视觉艺术家，来自菲律宾的艾萨·霍克森（Eisa Jocson）以身体作为实验场所，探讨着全球化世界的影响下服务和娱乐行业的身体政治。《菲律宾超女团》（The Filipino Super-KTV-Woman Band）是一个女性三人组表演，展现了菲律宾表演团体所处的殖民地形态和社会经济状况，借用了KTV的形式呈现表演。《达尔娜的训练》（Darna Training）源自创作过程中尚未解决的问题。达尔娜是菲律宾标志性的超级女英雄，类似于女超人/神奇女侠。

在这次的身体工作坊中，观众将体验到超女表演者的训练过程，了解《达尔娜训练》（Darna Training）节目中的基本动作和声乐元素。通过从观看表演的、被娱乐的人转换身份为进行表演的、提供娱乐的人，观众可以感受在目的性强烈的服务性表演中，身体是如何为了迎合受众而受目的支配；从体验中观察身体、性别、工作、社会与商品化的关系，对身份进行探讨与反思。
