Workshops + events are all over the scene, but perhaps the most impressive venture has been the CLUTCH program.

CLUTCH was a pilot program that spanned over 6 months in 2008-2009. It offered a select group of young Filipino women the opportunity to express their cultural and personal identities by creating art through a multitude of mediums. Nothing was off limits and their final products have been truly awe inspiring for me. The girls collectively showcased their pieces at their program end exhibition, Open Fire – The Debut. Here is a short video I edited highlighting their work over the course of their program and from the event itself.

I became involved with this wonderful community of young, intelligent, creative, and awe-inspiring Filipinos nearly a year ago. And within that year, I’ve been able to:

  • act in a Fringe Festival play that received best ensemble cast + huge critical acclaim
  • perform my own music in front of a vibrant crowd for the annual summer event, Kultura
  • work on tons of different productions + edit more video than I could have ever imagined
  • collaborate with brilliant minds who always push the boundaries of art + culture
  • embrace my roots + make a real effort to learn more about what it means to be Filipino

I’ve never been so proud to know where I come from and I feel so blessed to have met the people I have at the KPC. These are some of the greatest individuals you could ever meet. I’m grateful and honoured to be able to call them my friends. This retrospective was a pure labour of love. Thanks, KPC <3 It's been a fantastic year.
