IPAG master-facilitators Meshaq Dangel and Vicks Badiang Arlan are now midway their Music for Theater interactive lectures, fun and upbeat tapping of whatever stuff that creates sounds to drive the idea why music plays a huge part in enhancing the mood and atmosphere of a performance. Since we integrate our dance pedagogy pangalay into our dance performances and major dance drama musicals – our kind of music puts an extra layer to really draw an audience into the performance, because it becomes an even more immersive auditory experience.
Music augments or complicates the counter-language of theatre, and because the two languages are expressed at the same time in the same space, the combined effect is magnified, especially emotionally. For us, the emotional reception of the social transcreation of drama or a researched dance ritual (imitation of an action in the form of action), is made viscerally, rather than intellectually, “dramatic.”
The Music for Theater module in the Basic Workshop on the Performing Arts (BWPA) focuses on basic music elements: rhythm, harmony, movements and moments, breathing and phrasing. Delivery method is workshop with directed exercises principles and theory plus performance and evaluation after a series of directed exercises, listening activities for music appreciation. We also encourage our students and scholars, music analyses based on the principles and theory of performance. We will see them in the recitals (July 30) so watch for announcements in this page.
