More jewellery making workshop

Sunera Foundation — Fri, 18 Jun 2010 07:12:12 +0000

Singapore based jewellery designer, Rashantha Devanesan returned to Sri Lanka and conducted two jewellery making workshops for the participants and parents of our Panadura and Maharagama workshops.

The children and parents enjoyed the sessions a great deal and wanted Rashanta to return again soon and do more such workshops with them!

Rashanta followed this up with a jewellery sale of her select hand made pieces, on 17 June. Part of the proceeds from the sale will go towards sustaining Sunera’s work.

We wish to thank Rashanta for her friendship and support and look forward to working with her again in the future.

Recent performances of “An Inspired Swan Lake”, a hit!

Sunera Foundation — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 05:54:08 +0000

Those of you who had the chance to see Sunera’s presentation of An Inspired Swan Lake, will agree that it tuly was, well…inspiring!

It seems that many people thought so, as Jehan Aloysius was asked to present his production again, which he did on 5,6 and 7 March 2010, at the Lionel Wendt.

The audiences were bowled over by the performances on all three days, culminating in a standing ovation for the cast on the final day.

Jehan told us, “this experience has been the fulfilment of a promise. I had the chance to work with the cast again, and really flesh out the October performance. Thank you for the opportunity.”

Thank you Jehan for collaborating with us and putting together a truly inspiring piece of theatre.

up - coming performances of “An Inspired Swan Lake”
