Beijing Scholar Conducts Workshop at IJSB

For July's Alternative Classroom Experience (ACE), IJSB offered a Theater Workshop for Jesseans facilitated by Annie Luis at the IJSB Media Barn (The Black Box) on 19 July 2008.

An unprecedented number of students participated, which led to the division of the workshop into two groups--Pre School to Grade IV, and Grade V to HS IV. Such activities as fleshing out characters and devising random scenes were the focus of the workshop with plenty of group dynamics.

Ms. Luis is a graduate of BA Theater Arts at U.P. Diliman and is currently pursuing graduate studies in Literature and Chinese Theater at the famed Central Academy of Drama in Beijing as a Chinese government scholar. She is also the Bayanihan Dance Company's Soloist and travels extensively as a performer, singing at the World Expo 2008 in Zaragoza, Spain the week before the IJSB workshop, and is now flying to France for another series of performances.

IJSB's Alternative Classroom Experience (ACE) Program is an ongoing project that taps mainstream talents to conduct seminars, workshops and classes to Jesseans every month. Subjects covered are as varied as the speakers' professions. August's ACE will be on Photography, and September's will be on Film Making.
