Riverbanks, NCCA present Kambas at Sayaw

To instill pride of place and the love for one’s cultural heritage, Riverbanks Center in Marikina City, together with the National Commission for Culture and Arts ( NCCA) presents ‘Kambas at Sayaw,’ a five-day workshop which aims to integrate visual arts and dance as one flowing art process depicting the life and beauty of Marikina River and its surroundings.

Through this workshop, Riverbanks Center will shape the way people, especially the youth, nurture pride of place and show appreciation and love for their history, culture, arts and environment.

The workshop will introduce students to a wide variety of creative and developmental processes, including experimental drawing synchronized with creative movement and dance bringing visual arts illustrations into life.

Aside from the combined visual arts and dance syllabus, the works of the late Joey Velasco in his in-house gallery, the Guinness Biggest Pair of Shoe, the Miniature and the Spirit of Belen Museums, the Science Museum, the Amphitheatre with the scenic view of Marikina River will serve as inspirations to the participants.

The participants will learn art by doing and exploring different mediums, such as organic and repurposed materials as well as the conventional paints and inks.

“Kambas at Sayaw” will run for five days from Feb. 22-26, at the E-Com Building, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The highlight of the event which happens at the end of the workshop, is a culminating activity showcasing the artworks and the dance interpretations from the workshops’ showcase.
