Playshop 2012: More classes, more mentors, more fun

MANILA, Philippines - Trumpets Playshop’s bags are all packed and ready for summer.

The leading workshop in the country takes summer to a new frontier with Playshop Camp: Express Yourself. Inspired by the diversity and dynamics of recreational summer camps, this year’s theme is all about discovering every single Playshopper’s uniqueness, and at the same time fostering a sense of community with their peers.

Starting out in 1993 with only a few acting classes for kids, teens and adults, Trumpets Playshophas grown over the past 19 years by adding more and more classes to allow other God-given talents to be honed and polished.

For those who love to dance, there’s Play Dolls — a class specially designed for girls who want to take their street jazz dancing skills to a whole new different level — and Breakdance, where anyone and everyone funky enough can learn the totally cool art.

Another new class that is sure to help you express yourself in ways you never thought possible is Acting for Commercials. Open to everyone and highly recommended for aspiring and even professional models, this is where you get to learn what it takes to make it big when it comes to being a commercial talent for TV or film.

Vocal Performance for Recording is for folks passionate about the dynamics of recording, and keeping up with the Playshop seal of excellence, Roy Del Valle of Noisy Neighbors Inc. and Jay Marquez of The CompanY are the class’ mentors.

Now, if you’re the kind who’s serious about making people laugh or simply the class clown who wants to tickle funny bones beyond the classroom, then comedian extraordinaire Jon Santos’ Comedy Black Book, a whole-day intensive workshop, is definitely for you.

Patti Betita for modeling, Maneouvers for streetdance and film, TV and theater veteran Icko Gonzales complete the roster of talented mentors.

With the new and exciting line-up of classes and teachers, 2012 is sure to go down as one of the most exciting years in Trumpets Playshop history!
