‘Summer Dream Workshop’ for kids at DreamPlay

City of Dreams Manila’s DreamPlay, the only DreamWorks-inspired interactive play space in the world, holds the “Summer Dream Workshop” from April 1 to 6, from 9 a.m. to 12 noon.

Open to children ages 6 to 13, the six-day singing and dancing workshop aims to let kids hone and discover their skills in performing arts, boost their self-confidence, and at the same time, make new friends throughout the program.

The singing workshop includes exploring various vocal exercises, the application of proper singing techniques and concepts on basic stage performance; while the dance workshop involves lectures and exercises on the creative process of dance, choreography, improvisation, as well as different types of routines and techniques in Jazz Funk, Modern Dance and Hip Hop.

As a culminating activity of the workshop, participants are set to perform live on April 6, at 2 p.m. at DreamPlay, where they can get the chance to become a DreamPlay Ambassador or get special awards.

Apart from the kids’ individual performances, exciting production numbers are also lined up, where they will be joined on stage by DreamWorks’

Trolls characters Poppy and Branch and The Dreamers, DreamPlay’s talented in-house performers.

Zhan Dela Pena will facilitate as vocal coach together with his team. Dela Pena is a graduate of University of Santo Tomas’ Conservatory of Music with a 10-year experience in teaching voice techniques and performance, highlighted by his stint as a former vocal coach for The Voice Kids Philippines.

DreamPlay’s in-house dance group, The Dreamers, will lead the dance workshop.
