Our second instructor.... Mathew San Jose!!!
Mathew San Jose is the grandson of Bing Locsin, the grandnephew of Agnes Locsin, and the brother of rising Philippine dancer and singer, Kenneth San Jose. With a family of such talented artists, it’s no surprise that Mathew found his passion in the performing arts and is now a triple threat performer based in Los Angeles. “It means a lot to be able to be able to start this program, especially in Davao” says the young actor, “Filipinos are extremely talented and there’s a lot of potential here for beautiful pieces of art.” Mathew will be teaching the “in front of the camera” courses. A graduate of Pepperdine University, he has studied and performed around the U.S. as well as other countries including Scotland and Australia. He recently made his mark here in Davao as well this past summer, when he taught and performed in both Locsin Dance Workshop’s “Bisdak KMI” and LCB Performing Arts Center’s “Anything Goes On Broadway”. “I believe we all have something to offer as human beings. Each person’s life experience is unique. I’m happy to share even a piece of what I’ve learned from my own unique acting career,” states Mathew. The young artist has learned and taken direction from various industry professionals, including Sir Anthony Hopkins and Philippine’s own Lea Salonga. Mathew’s close friend Evan Rogers will be joining him on this year’s program as well.
