SUMMER  LAB 2013

A CHILDREN’S THEATER AND INTEGRATED THEATER ARTS WORKSHOP

 SATDC’S Summer Lab 2013 is a 10-Day free workshop designed to tap the creative energy and personality of the participants with practical lessons and basic rudiments of the arts through creative drama, creative movements, creative music and sounds, creative writing and visual arts. It will be open for children ( 7-12 years old), teens & adults (13 and above).

 

The workshop is based on the Children’s Theater and Basic Integrated Arts Workshop Module utilized by Taguig City’s home-grown theater group, ACTION ARNAI (Artists Resource Network) for its new artists/members to discover their innate artistry and improve their personal behavioral conducts relative to their cultural literacy and personal values. This process is experiential learning with the magic that sparks when all the participants make a discovery together.

The module will focus primarily on the participants’ artistic talents and potentials, creativity, and development of their confidence and self-esteem. Items are presented thematically and systematically, all woven into one integrated theater arts approach. There are exercises to improve their listening skills, concentration and focus, spontaneity, creativity and self- expression. There will be a voice work-out on good breathing and speaking habits, pitch, volume, diction and articulation. The participants shall also experience stretch in physical expressiveness, release, characterization, good projection, and creative expression of their ideas, thoughts and feelings about him/herself, his/her family, his/her peers, and the larger Filipino community, including his/her spiritual community.

SATDC Artistic Director Ms. Nina Manalo spearheads the Creative Teaching Team that includes Dang Elio, Grace Esteban, Rigor Acla, Rislen Dela Cruz, Thea Sarmiento and Jam Gabriel. The workshop is scheduled on April 22,23,24,25,26,27,28,28,30 May 3,6,7 with 4 hour session daily (8-12 Noon and/or 1-5 pm).
