PSL is a four-week poetry unit that will reveal that Poetry has been a part of who we are as Filipinos since the beginning of time until today, and is very much a part of our Filipino fabric. The workshop series will first introduce the traditional forms of Filipino poetry, including the Balagtasan and Filipino epic poetry. Upon having this background, the program will then move on to explore effective poetry writing and spoken word performance techniques. Finally, participants will be introduced to the Spoken Word/Poetry Scene in Toronto, as the workshop culminates with a final Slam performance. This program is funded by the Arts Education Program of Ontario Arts Council.

Let’s talk about Filipino history, shall we? Let’s explore Filipino food, Filipino fashion, Filipino music, Filipino pop culture, Filipino art, Filipino film & where it all came from! This is not your boring old history class where you memorize dates & names. It’s not a whitewashed version where Europeans came and brought ‘civilization’ to the ’savages’. It’s not about how the Americans saved us from the Spanish and the Japanese. It is NOT a version of history to be embarrassed of. It’s our actual history that we can be PROUD of.
Every other Wednesday @ 6:00pm starting September 15th, 2010 – December 8th, 2010
