The INTEGRATED PERFORMING ARTS GUILD completes its 2nd phase of its tranSCRIPT Dramaturgy, Playwriting, and Dance Workshops with recitals on Saturday, Dec. 12 (Dance), and Wed. and Thu, 16 and 17 (Dramaturgy-Playwriting).
Dubbed “#stayingalive,” all performances will be livestreamed at 6 pm., Phil. Time.
The recitals cap over 20 Sessions of training which started last August. The program ensures that performance activities remain active through the pandemic.
In three phases, the practice and knowledge of in-based artists and participants from various parts of the country are enhanced by craft-based modules. Exploring new modalities, new plays and their production see performance in post-COVID times. IPAG has framed these phases according to the pandemic circumstances from adaptation, transition, and the resurrection foreseen in 2021.
Eight playwrights collaborate with eight dramaturges to present their initial outputs in the recital. The dance-training classes gather over 30 apprentices who will form the core of the performing ensemble in the Resurrection Phase.
Eminent facilitators have included international dramaturges Makato Sato, Aubrey Mellor, and Nicholas Pichay. Managing the program is IPAG Founding Artistic Director Steven P.C. Fernandez.
Completing the program are webinars on Arts Administration, Meranao Kulintang, Cultural Heritage, and Tourism.
Supporting the program are grants from the CCP Kalinga sa Sining, Japan Foundation Manila, Inc, the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA), and the host MSU-IIT through its Center for Culture and the Arts Studies.
