One of Theresian Communicator’s Organization’s talented members, Jayneil Louise Enriquez, got the chance to perform on stage in Manila and in the U.S last year.  In an interview, she shared how her experiences changed her life and made her a better person.

On June 2013, Jayneil had the opportunity to star in the musical play, Siddhartha: A Journey to Enlightenment.  She played several parts in the play including minor roles.


Siddhartha is a Buddhist musical about the story of a man who became a prince.  It talks about how he found more meaning in his life and how, in his journey, he was enlightened and became the Buddha.

According to Jayneil, her experience (six months of training and performing) is not just the highlight of her 2013, but also the highlight of her entire life.  She never expected that her passion in singing and performing would take her to different places. She was able to experience a Buddhist lifestyle during those 6 months.  She practiced some of their teachings like the 8 noble paths (right thought, right understanding, right speech, right action, right effort, right livelihood, right mindfulness and right concentration).
"Performing Arts is a wide field but it doesn't mean you cannot try everything, you can, if you don’t limit yourself.” Jayneil said.  With that, Jayneil left a tip for those who want to explore the world of performing arts:  Expose yourself.  Go to auditions, sing karaoke, and dance in school presentations.  Trying is the only way of finding out what you're really passionate about.  Once you find it, dedicate your time to nurture it.  Always practice and never stop learning.
