First Generation - Filipino Canadian Artist - Rose

12/9/2013

 
I grew up reading and sharing lots of poems.  At a young age, I knew then that I LOVE words, using imagery and voice through poetry and storytelling. I was called to Declaim! I told Filipino myths and legends and became a Filipino Folk Dancer in Grade 1. I spoke the words of many poets.  Along the way, I was guided by so many great teachers as well as my mom, dad, aunts, uncles, grandpas and grandmas.  I was 13 years old when my family immigrated to Canada. I navigated my teenage years thriving in the Arts. In my elementary class, I created a Batik Art Piece of Mother and Child - an ancient Art Technique of wax-resist dyeing I learned in Grade 8.  I became the 1st Captain of the Cheerleading Dance Team, created my 1st Shadow Puppetry, choreographed Modern & HipHop Dance in High School. I knew then I wanted to pursue the Arts! I auditioned and was accepted at 3 Universities. I chose York University in Toronto, Ontario. In 2nd year, I auditioned again for the Conservatory Program and became one of the 16 people in their Acting Conservatory. I followed my love for the art of poetry and storytelling. I learned so much from all my mentors along the way. Right after I graduated, I was called to create, collaborate and write a play. I was welcomed by Carlos Bulosan Theatre Company Collective.

These are a few important lessons I've learned: 
Share poems and stories that speak to you.
Move with words.
Face your Fears.
Enjoy Life.  
Use your voice as outreach to all.
Tell your stories to inspire others.
Be Courageous.
Be Peace.
Stay Empowered.

I promised myself that I will continue to share what I found in the art of poetry and storytelling.  So will it be...
