KULARTS' 2008 Summer Arts Camp, in partnership with FEC Galing Bata Summer Program, offers interdisciplinary classes in dance, creative writing, music, and crafts to incoming 3rd - 8th grade students. Artistic Director, Alleluia Panis with artistic staff has designed an exciting program based on Pilipino folk stories, covering themes of friendship, challenges, community, and nature. Myths hold universal qualities and themes relevant to life today, and provide students with the opportunity to experience the lives of ancient peoples and to compare their thoughts with people of today. Our goals are: a) to give youth the opportunity to explore dance, creative writing and performance; b) to assist Pilipino youth in a better understanding and articulation of self-identity and Pilipino cultural values within the American context. Master artist-instructors have high expectations for the students, who enjoy the responsibility of creating their final performance piece together.
