Hip-hop Shakespeare in Manila

- The Philippine Star

MANILA, Philippines - The British Council, in partnership with the Philippine Educational Theatre Association (PETA), brings Hip-hop Shakespeare to Manila for a series of workshops and performances from July 3 to 6.

Founded in 2008 by MOBO award-winning hip-hop artist Akala, The Hip-hop Shakespeare Company (THSC) is a music theater production company aimed at exploring the social, cultural and linguistic parallels between the works of William Shakespeare and that of modern-day rappers.  Launched in 2009 with the support of British actor Sir Ian McKellen, THSC delivers bespoke education programs offering young people a different view of the arts and ultimately, themselves. THSC also produces interactive live music events/theater productions showcasing the work of up-and-coming young talents who share the stage with established artists and actors.  ? 

While in Manila, Akala will deliver a workshop at the PETA Theater Center from July 3 to 5.  The workshop is for people with an interest/skill in rapping, singing, spoken word, poetry and acting.  He will also have live performances at PETA on July 5 and 6.

For inquiries on the workshop and performance tickets, call British Council at 555-3000 and PETA at 725-6244, or visit www.britishcouncil.org.ph and www.petatheater.com.
