Upstage helps schools
THE participants were choreographers, teachers and students from Camotes Hillside Academy (CHA), Camotes National High School (CNHS), Lorenzo Tanza Memorial National School, Tabungaan National High School and Cebu State College of Science and Technology-Camotes
Eulalia Alegrado, Upstage president, said the workshop was one of the community outreach services of the organization.
Eleven Upsage members, together with their adviser professor Ligaya Rabago-Visaya, went to Camotes to facilitate the workshop.
It was held at the Santiago Bay Garden and Resort in San Francisco.
In the three-day workshop, the participants were exposed to different techniques on stage presentation, qualities of a good performance, forms of theatrical expressions, such as the mime, dula-tula, ensemble acting, allegorical play, realistic, dance drama and song interpretation.
The culminating activity of the workshop was held at the community stage of Barangay San Isidro.
Confidence
“I learned many things in the workshop that could surely help me express and build my confidence,” said Judea Mae Nudalo, a high school student from CHA.
Marianila Barral, CNHS teacher, said it was her first time to attend such a workshop and she was encouraged to form a CNHS-based theater group.
“Let theater be the bridge to make people move,” Visaya said of the activity. (Nasvin F. del Rosario)
