BOOK LAUNCH
Performance Level, Directing on the Fringes, and Representation, Meaning, and Identity by STEVEN P.C. FERNANDEZ, DFA
Over four decades of the production of performance have derived a method. Playwright-dramaturg Steven P.C. Fernandez has collated the expressions in theater, ritual, cultural enactments, and other social events in three significant books that collate the Three Ps (3Ps) of performance: Pedagogy, Praxis, and Production. These pioneering works illustrate Aesthetics evolved from the blend of Culture and Performance. These works collate the process of how performance operates and how practitioners may adapt these. Chronicled are significant productions and performance events that Fernandez and IPAG have produced, researched on, and facilitated. These works have shaped a characteristic Aesthetics framed by the principles of Transcreation and Distillation, creative processes that have made a deep impact in Philippine dramaturgy.
