Singhay Dapitan

The creation of SINGHAY DAPITAN is to promote the historical, theoretical, and experiential study of these performing arts as vital and important areas of inquiry for all interested individuals. The group is founded on two premises: first, that performance is essential to a full understanding of the art form; second, that all arts share significant modes of thought and expression and that knowledge of one art form will contribute to an understanding of all the arts. Singhay Dapitan’s task includes in mounting historical events happened in Dapitan City for the new generation to learn and appreciate. In addition to traditional lecture and discussion courses, the program of study includes frequent opportunities for practical experience in the dance, theater, music, and visual arts. The group also seeks to educate the larger community through its rigorous production schedule of plays, dance concerts, touring artists, and residency workshops with local and international guest artists. The Artistic Pool is ensuring that all individuals who joined have experience and training in acting, directing, movement, design, and technical production in addition to the historical and theoretical study of theater and dance.
