We are Leah of Husay Talents (HT) and Melvin of Vibe Dance Studio (Vibe) who are alumni of a college dance group in the University of Santo Tomas a few years ago. The idea of reaching out through creative talents was mostly inspired by our experience there -- while training to improve the skills, the group also gave importance to the performers' well-being -- how the group's performances affect the lives of the performer, the audience and the community.

believes creativity is as important as literacy

Last year 2016, we started to brainstorm on projects that carry out both of our visions and utilize our platforms, at the same time building a sustainable business model around them. One of these was joining the FringeMNL 2017 to provide us the avenue for inspiration and to showcase our pilot theater play. We want to explore this genre because it allows us to be creative holistically -- from producing the material, performing onstage, assisting backstage, marketing and other points of collaboration, while bringing along our target beneficiaries in the process.
