Santo Domingo, August 19, 2019 \u2013 Last Thursday, August 15, the \u201cC\u00facara-M\u00e1cara, Inc.\u201d Cultural Foundation and its Artist Training Academy held its annual end-of-school-year event by presenting the \u201cFirst Applause Festival 2019.\u201d During the event, Festival organizers presented the academic results of those who participated during the 2018-2019 school year in the Foundation\u00b4s theater program. Also, personal and group awards were issued to the boys, girls and teenagers who participated in the Academy\u00b4s various artistic programs. <\/p>\n
Two of the plays presented during the activity were \u201cTres Somos Tres\u201d, a modern-day version of The Three Little Pigs story, directed and staged by professors Casandra Ross\u00f3 and Dennis Cruz. The other was \u201cLa Tragicomedia de Don Crist\u00f3bal y Do\u00f1a Rosita\u201d, written by renown Spanish playwright Federico Garc\u00eda Lorca, adapted and directed by Johanny Garc\u00eda.<\/p>\n
Children between the ages of 5 and 18 participated in both plays, showing the attending audience the various techniques they had learned at the Academy during the school year, such as scenic performance, vocalization, diction, expression of emotions and body control. The packed audience that attended the Teatro Monina Sol\u00e1, at the Narciso Gonz\u00e1lez Cultural Center in Santo Domingo, reacted by offering the participating students standing ovations for their performances.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt the end of the year we are very pleased to see how our Academy contributes to the children\u00b4s learning process, because we not only work with providing them with artistic training, and how we contribute to a future generation of artists. But we also work on such important areas as discipline, ethics and values, because we believe it is our institutional responsibility. These are all necessary tools needed to reach high academic standards and obtain significant results,\u201d stated Basilio Nova, President and General and Artistic Director of the Foundation.<\/p>\n
The \u201cC\u00facara-M\u00e1cara\u201d Cultural Foundation has been involved in the country\u00b4s theater development for the past 38 years. It is situated in the city\u00b4s University Zone, at Benigno Filomeno Rojas Street #54. The Foundation also offers dance, theater, painting, music and singing lessons for children, adolescents and adults. <\/p>\n
The Festival\u00b4s teaching, production and administrative team was headed by Casandra Ross\u00f3, Winiffer L\u00f3pez, Dennis de la Cruz and Johanny Garc\u00eda, under the academic coordination of Ana Jim\u00e9nez Grull\u00f3n and Basilio Nova.<\/p>\n
