Ep 3 : Ramadan, Pinoy Pride and Musical Theatre in Brunei (with Basil Witsqa)
Description
This episode we're talking about bringing musical theatre and the arts to life in the tiny Southeast Asian nation of Brunei. Basil Witsqa is Bruneian teacher and performer with both Malay and Filipino heritage. Our conversation includes the real blend of cultures represented in Basil's life including religions, languages and Western influences. Basil shares the challenges and successes while creating a space for musical theatre productions. I can definitely relate to an upbringing where creative interests were seen as only hobbies and not career options! We also explore how to make American stories accessible to a local Bruneian audience and how the young nation is finding its identity.
