Samahang Pilipino Cultural Night

Picture
Samahang Pilipino Cultural Night (SPCN) is the annual Pilipino cultural production at UCLA, produced by SPCN Committee and performed by over 200 undergraduates.  A result of the cultural and political activism among Pilipino Americans in the 1970s, SPCN held its first production in 1978.  The intimate “barrio fiesta” format of the gatherings in the early days, which included traditional food and dance, quickly evolved into an elaborate stage production.  Each year, the SPCN production showcases aspects of Pilipinx and Pilipinx-American culture, completed with original music and an original script.  SPCN takes pride in being the first student-run cultural night to perform at UCLA's Royce Hall in 1986, paving the way for other student-run productions to do the same.

Get to Know SPCN

SPCN aims to create an empowering production centered around the Pilipinx and Pilipinx American experiences of its diverse cast members.  SPCN creates a safe and inclusive space for cast members to learn about Pilipino culture through a theatre production with a unique student-written script and music as well as traditional and modern dance.  Through these means, SPCN seeks to accurately educate its cast and the audience about their past in order to analyze their present and actively mold their future.  SPCN accomplishes its goals of fostering a loving community and uplifting Pilipinx and Pilipinx American culture and voices through its 3 components:
​
DANCE
  • The Dance Component consists of the seven dance suites - Arnis, Kordilyera, Lumad, Maria Clara, Masa, Mindanao, and Rural - which represent various people, regions, and cultures of the Philippines both of the past and present.  Through these seven suites, cast members learn and perform various Philippine dances on the Royce stage.  The Dance Component also organizes the Sayaw ng Silangan Dance Troupe, providing opportunities for student to learn and perform Philippine dances outside of the SPCN production and for the Greater Los Angeles community.
LOGISTICS
  • The Logistics Component deals with the funding and promoting of SPCN in addition to the educational aspect of SPCN with a 2-unit class at UCLA.  Through the Logistics Component, SPCN's maintains its relationships with vendors and oversees the behind the scenes logistics of the entire production. 
PRODUCTION
  • The Production Component organizes all technical, musical, and script related aspects of SPCN, providing opportunities for cast members to act and sing on the Royce stage.  This component oversees the theater production aspect of SPCN, coordinating with the respective UCLA professionals who provide SPCN with the necessary resources to produce quality and show-stopping performances on the Royce stage.
