Monday, September 24, 2007 ‘Broken Dreams’ at WNC Monday night
The Sining Kambayoka Ensemble (SKE), the multi-awarded theater company of the Mindanao State University in Marawi City, will present “Broken Dreams” at West Negros College Gym in Bacolod, 7 p.m. Monday night.
SKE was one of the 12 companies selected from eight different countries around the world to take part in Contacting the World (CTW) 2006.
CTW is a unique theater project linking young people’s theater groups from around the world in the spirit of creating theater across boundaries of geography and culture.
All 12 participants collaborated with each other and performed showcases in Manchester.
The project was jointly presented by the Arts Council of England, British Council, and Unesco’s International Fund for the Promotion of Culture.
The event took place from July 17-24, 2006 in Manchester and the SKE and their production “Broken Dreams” was the official representative/entry of the Philippines.
After the very successful turn-out of SKE’s participation in Manchester, the group continued to represent the country in the Liverpool International Street Theater Festival and the Aberdeem International Theater Festival in Aberdeen, Scotland.
In both festivals, SKE received rousing feedbacks from the varied audiences. SKE also performed for the Filipino communities in London and Wales who also gave them “thumbs up” for giving pride and honor to the Filipino culture and the country as well.
This presentation is a project of the Cultural Center of the Philippines Outreach and Exchange Program in cooperation with the Negros Cultural Foundation and WNC. (Press release)
