The Webinar series “Surviving the Surging Waters” scans performance as it is re-shaped in these pandemic circumstances while foreseeing what it will be like in the post-pandemic.
The series explores: What will define Philippine Theater and other performance genres after the COVID crisis is over? The conversations speculate the forms, processes, and manners of engagements that the present circumstances have determined. The forum also revisits the times World Theater rebounded from major crises like the world wars, pandemics, and social-political upheavals summing up how Performance survived these onslaughts.
Previous webinars discussed basic framework studies and concepts. Our conversations continue to perceive a setting to ensure that our Theater remains dynamic as ever.
The forums interrogate what constitutes Theater? What engagements are involved? How do forms morph to represent and engage cultures and situations? What economic exchanges take place? The series is part of a larger program in IPAG’s 43th and 44th Seasons tagged #stayingalive: Riding the Crests of the Pandemic.
