sinews and syllables

Just yesterday, the BAEnglish (Creative Writing) students presented “Connect and Disconnect”, a Sinews and Syllables Presentation. The event was a series of performance of selected BAE students. They interpreted the poems and other works with proffesional choreography led by Creative Writing Faculty Jean Claire Dy and John Bengan.

The works of great writers were featured. Christina Rosetti’s No, Thank You, John was performed with a gothic impact by my blockmate Ella. When The Light Appears by Allen Ginsberg was performed with contemporized music by Darsi and Allen. I was tasked to recite Pablo Neruda’s Tonight I Can Write The Saddest Lines. Those were only few of the several great works presented. Some of the pieces performed were created by the very own CW students in the BAE program.

Congratulations to us for a successful presentation. I’d like to mention the Food Committee for preparing such a good meal (pansit bihon with loaf bread, drinks: juice in tetra packs). Below, you can see April holding me. She caught me sneaking some food.

A small get-together was held at Mintal with some of the performers and faculty members exchanging toasts of beer. No, I remained sober with my big Pop Cola with me. It’s actually my first time to sit and talk with BAE people in that manner. And I actually found myself enjoying intellectual yet crazy conversations with them.

The night (or should I say morning) ended with a couple of burgers from Minute Burger.
