Culturati experience under red, green and blue lights

Lights…
Camera…
Action…

All eyes were focused on the stage as the spotlight illuminates its attention on theater’s most acclaimed actor, Bembol Roco. It wasn’t just my first time at the Cultural Center of the Philippines. I’m there for any concertos or any of the events in the calendar of events of the CCP. This time though, I was there to catch the Net 25 team in action as they tape the second episode of Onset. This new show on Net 25 features the artist, their lives, their art, and the values that they impart to a new generation of up and coming artists.

After Mr. Roco left, I did a little bit of sightseeing around the building, it turns out that there was a bazaar at the parking lot that day and an exhibit the previous day.

I went back inside to watch Ms. Edna Vida being interviewed by Eunice Mariño. She’s a ballerina, choreographer, director, workshop facilitator: in short, a very versatile artist. Her infectious laugh is caught by everyone at the Tanghalang Huseng Batute. She was in every sense an artistic woman and it was honor to meet her. Being one of the famous dancing Reyes sisters, she divulges that it was at first hard for her to keep up with her older sister Alice. She’s happily married to a danseur herself and loves her 2 children, a son and a daughter. I admire people like her. And it was an honor seeing her here being interviewed by Eunice. Here are some photos from the shoot. Here are some photos from that day:
