A group of
Grade School teachers was invited by Mrs. Amelia Catindig,
President of the Pastoral Council, to give a drama workshop to the
children and youth of the community of Sinalhan in Sta. Rosa,
Laguna held on April 8-10, 2005. The team was headed by Mrs.
Filomena Callo, Drama Coordinator of the SSC Grade School unit.
Mrs. Callo was joined by
Ms. Fe Sanchez, Ms. Divina David and Mrs. Leonila Cabrera who are
Drama and Theater Arts majors. There were forty-eight (48)
participants with an age range of 5-21 years old.
|
The Experiential Approach used in this workshop led the team to
achieve the objectives set for this outreach activity. It was through
the process of giving the background of how drama came to be, a simple
introduction of drama theories before each exercise and a synthesis
after it, stage
geography and the structure of the Production Staff that paved the way
to three (3) plays as the output of the workshop.
|
The performance
of three plays, namely, “Nagkamali ng utos” for the
children; “Ang Pag-ibig ni Virgil at Cely” and “Bakit
Babae ang Naghuhugas ng Pinggan” for
the youth, motivated the participants to apply what they had
learned in the workshop. They presented the plays in the Chapel
to an audience from the town.
The
participants were like cocoons that have grown into caterpillars.
They will move to the Sining Tanghalan ni Maria, the Community
Theater Group of the Youth for nurturing and talent enhancement.
