As part of the Philippine’s Embassy’s efforts to reach out to well-known Bangladeshi artists, Ambassador Alan L. Deniega met today with Ms. Pooja Sengupta, Artistic Director of the Turongomi Repertory Dance Theatre, who specializes in blending contemporary moves with classical dance in her choreography.
During the call, Ambassador Deniega thanked Ms. Pooja for participating in the cultural events of the Embassy. She shared her past performances in various places in the Philippines, such as in Dumaguete, in Roxas City, and in Manila, which led to her awareness of the places named after the Philippines’ national hero, Dr. Jose Rizal, and which, in turn, sparked her curiosity about the life of the Filipino patriot.
Ambassador Deniega said that he looks forward to more collaboration with Ms. Pooja in the future, and between Bangladeshi and Filipino
artists.
