About the Event
While summer is usually seen as the perfect time to take a break after a year of studying and or working hard, it's also a good time for people to go out of their comfort zones and learn a new skill or two. And because there are so many things to do in metro, you're never really going to run out of things to do,
We compiled 6 summer workshops that go from sports to arts to make the search for that new skill easier for you! Check them out below:
PETA Summer Workshop
The Philippine Educational Theater Association (PETA) will be holding the annual PETA's Workshop Express this April which will be open for everyone from the little ones to the professionals! Some of the courses taught to the younger ones include dance, puppetry, storytelling, and drama improvisation. Adults, on the other hand, can choose beginner to intermediate theater courses on acting and musical theater, depending on their interests.
