DULAANG U.P. BAGUIO SHOWCASES U.P. TALENTS IN MUSICAL ON CULTURE AND
NATION-BUILDING
Dulaang U.P. Baguio (DUPB), the premiere theater company of the University
of the Philippines – Baguio (UPB), heats up 2011 with a major musical on
nation-building.
Based on the Bicol epic Ibalon, "Sa Kabilang Ibayo,” is DUPB's offering
in celebration of U.P. Baguio's 50th Founding Anniversary. It is rewritten in
contemporary form by award-winning writer and U.P. Diliman Professor Rommel
Rodriguez, and set to music by world music artist and UPB professor Carol
Bello. Directing the musical is well-known stage director, media personality
and UPB professor Dennis Gutierrez. Veteran theatre artist and UPB alumnus Audi
Colongon joins the artistic team as co-director and movement/dance consultant.
UPB Speech Professors Christian Fajardo and Shine Queri assist in directing and
choreography, respectively. The artistic team is backed by a powerhouse of more
than 50 faculty members and students of U.P. Baguio.
Set in an enchanted forest community made alive through an intricate play of
lights, movement, music and sound effects, Sa Kabilang Ibayo is a promising
stunner. The play revolves around the character named Handiong, a wandering
Kudyapi (two-stringed lute) player who seem to have no viable future and career
as a musician. In a twist of fate, homeless and hungry Handiong, lands the job
as the next person who will try to defeat the Tandayag, the giant wildboar that
has been roaming around the Kabilang Ibayo, the fertile land yonder, and killed
dozens of hunter even before Handiong came. Chosen by the community elders by
mistake, and armed only with a Kudyapi, Handiong searches through the enchanted
forest and unknowingly becomes the object of love of the lonely Diwata named
Oriol. Handiong kills the Tandayag through Oriol's help. Oriol is cursed by the
forest witches or “barang” for helping Handiong, and becomes the four-headed
monster “Rabot.” Without his beloved Oriol, Handiong loses all hope and
strength to fight Rabot . “Bantog,” a young hunter and admirer of Handiong,
takes over the mission and defeats Rabot. The whole story is woven together by
the chantress Kadugnung, who follows all the trials and triumphs of Handiong,
Oriol and Bantog.
“Sa Kabilang Ibayo fires up U.P. Baguio's commitment to promote Filipino
culture and contribute to nation-building; students from elementary to college
levels will surely enjoy and learn a lot just by watching,” Dr. Purificacion
Delima, Dean of UPB's College of Arts and Communication, affirms.
Sa Kabilang Ibayo will be shown from the 21st to 27th of February 2011 in U.P. Baguio at 6:30 in
the evening. For sponsorship and ticket inquiries, email <dulaangupb@gmail.com>

WRITING WORKSHOPS FOR THE SERIOUS BLOGGER
The popularity of blogging has declined drastically in 2006 to 2009 due to
the deluge of social media quick updates like that of facebook and twitter, but
still Matt Mullenweg of WordPress believes that there are still more that can be
said in just 140 characters. Hollywood movies may have learned long ago that in
order to grab the attention and successfully hooking its audience is just
capsulated 10 minutes. But amidst all these, blogging is still all about content
and not just simply about 'bragging' and no-nonsense status update. On March 19
and 20 at 2-5pm, Jude Cartalaba, a freelance writer, a PR
person and a blogger at the same time will be holding WWW - What to
Write on the Web: A Writing Workshop that Works!
Alex Lacson, bestselling author of '12 Little Things Every Filipino Can Do
to Help Our Country'; Coach Pia
Nazareno-Acevedo, CEO of One CORE and author of 'Born to be a
Hero'; Aileen Santos, author of the novel 'Seduction Secrets that Really
Work'; and Ulysses King, a fashion designer
for metro-masculine and desirable wear will join in this two-day
writing-cum-blogging workshop as guest speakers.
Chun Valencia of PinoyFoodWriter.com, photo hobbyist
Gerum Quiming of RamblingSensations.com and
Lizza Villanueva, and another freelance writer-editor will
share the benefits of blogging for today's communication and its impact in the
younger generation. Workshop topic includes profitable blogging for
business-minded people.
Register today up to February 26 and get a 500-peso off from its workshop
fee. Only 30 slots are allotted for the two-day weekend workshop. For workshop
fee payment or reservation of at least 500 pesos can be facilitated through BDO

TABOAN WRITERS FESTIVAL RETURNS THIS FEBRUARY
First
organized in 2009, the Taboan International Writers Festival is an
annual gathering of writers from the Philippines and other parts of the
world.
Taboan is a Bisaya word which means marketplace.
In
keeping with its word origin, the Taboan International Writers Festival
seeks to be a marketplace of ideas for the Philippine literary
community.
At
Taboan, writers share their experiences, projects, philosophies, and
styles. From this exchange, Taboan hopes to foster new inspirations and
new ventures. For veteran writers, Taboan is a reunion of friends and
once-familiar faces now dispersed across the regions. For young
writers, Taboan is a time to meet mentors, peers, and collaborators.
Now
on its third year, TABOAN: The Philippine Writers Festival 2011 will be
held in Davao City in Mindanao , the southernmost island in the
country, on Feb. 10-12, 2011. The word TABOAN is a Cebuano word meaning
“meeting place” or “a place for trading” goods or ideas. It will gather
for three days some seventy to eighty national and international
writers who will read from their new works, or share ideas about the
craft of writing and its future in a highly technological world, and
discuss the situation of writing in the regions or in the other
countries. International writers, especially from the ASEAN countries
will be invited. The festival will feature the theme “Traditions and
the New.”
The
Festival will have the following components: (1) panel discussions on
sundry topics, (2) conversations with writers or writers groups, (3)
lectures by writers on topics of their own choice, (4) an outreach—or
school visitation— program, (5) a book fair, (6) literary readings and
performances, and (7) the TABOAN Awards night. Also, scaled-down

MARK ANGELES RELEASES SECOND BOOK, EMOTERO
Mark Angeles, also known for his cybermoniker Makoy Dakuykoy, releases his 2nd indie book, Emotero.
The
book is a collection of 88 100-word narratives inside a story. One day,
the main character Karl Mensaje received a package. Its content: a
notebook full of stories.
Angeles
dares us to step into the labyrinth of the book. He poses, “Is it a
collection of stories or a book-length short story? Are the stories
drabbles or prose poems?”
“I
laid down a handful of puzzles in Emotero,” he added. “Start with the
main character. Even the book cover design is an enigma. They are all
related. You have to read the book from cover to cover to understand
the mystery.”
Emotero
tells the tales of a prostitute, a bisexual, a transexual, an embalmer,
a magician, a prison warden, tollgate keeper, fortune teller,
ex-military, sympathizer and member of New People’s Army among others.
Even the stories of a cow, a goat, and a sheep.
Angeles’s
first indie book, Patikim, a collection of his notorious love poems has
been received well by both the academe and literary enthusiasts. He is
a Palanca awardee and an activist.

THE BALLADS OF MALAKAS AND MAGANDA: MARCOSIAN AND IMELDIFIC ESSAYS CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
After Mondo
Marcos, we decided to come out with a proposal for a new volume probing
Martial Law and the Marcoses. For “The Ballads of Malakas and Maganda,”
we decided to concentrate on essays – whether personal or scholarly,
critical or even graphic. We also wanted the contributions to dwell on
the conjugal cult of personality, or how Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos
shaped us and history.
Among the topics already promised are:
1. The Marcos cults
2. The ten most influential TV series during the Marcos era
3. The Marcos films
4. The Marcos epics
We
are particularly interested in getting contributions from Moros during
the civil war in the 1970s, Marcos loyalists, Kabataang Barangay
leaders and those from the other side like the exiles, children of KM
and other underground groups, and others. We also wanted contributions
about how the Marcos image was sold through the mass media and others.
We want to get insider views about how arts and culture fared during
the dictatorship. But these are just suggestions. If you read Mondo
Marcos, we want a mix of the trivial, compelling, sober, crazy, campy,
heartbreaking, sacred, profane, the true, good and the beautiful.
If
we get enough contributions, we plan to divide the volume into Ballad
of Malakas (Marcosian) and Ballad of Maganda (Imeldific). Our deadline
would be on January 15. Essays can be in English, Filipino or both.
Contributions can be sent through email at these addresses:

OROSMAN AT ZAFIRA SA SM MALL OF ASIA NGAYONG PEBRERO
Matutunghayan muli ang kwento ng pagmamahalan, digmaan at
karangalan nina Orosman at Zafira sa darating na Pebrero 2011 sa SM Mall of Asia Centerstage
Theater. Ang Orosman ay sinulat ni Francisco Baltazar at bibigyang buhay ng Dulaang UP.
***
Some
audience members who are interested in catching Orosman at Zafira who
might be a little worried that Orosman at Zafira will be “traditional”
and “classic” can rest assured that this production, while still
honoring its past and origins, will be exciting and fun.
As a
reviewer from the Philippine Daily Inquirer said, “This is not your
great-great-grandparents’ komedya.” This particular theater form should
not to be mistaken as comedy.
The Tagalog term komedya is
derived fromcomedia, a Spanish generic term for drama. Komedya usually
have plots about saints or warring kingdoms, and uses staging
conventions like structured choreographed entrances and exits.
In
this DUP production, “[The] dramaturgs [have] edited the original text,
changed Baltazar’s original Turkish kingdoms to Filipino tribes, and
created a narrator to help audiences along.”
While the music of
a traditional komedya are usually performed by a brass band, Bello’s
neo-ethnic music is rendered by a live orchestra using indigenous
instruments such as djembe drums, kulintang (gong chime) and kubing
(Jew’s harp), together with electric guitars and keyboards.
Santos has replaced the traditional marches with movement vocabularies inspired by the country’s regional dances.
“He
marks the narrative with three impressive battle scenes that showcased
a heady amalgamation of fight stances and dance. The cast charged,
pounced and attacked as they twisted, glided and leapt.”
We’re sure that today’s audiences will enjoy this “modern method” of staging a komedya.
Showdates:
Feb 4, 5, 6,
11, 12, 13,
18, 19, 20,
25 and 26
(2011) at SM Mall of Asia Centerstage Theater.

FOR 2011, REP TO STAGE JOY LUCK CLUB AND 39 STEPS
By Walter Ang
Philippine Daily Inquirer
“WE’VE PREPARED an
exciting selection of shows that are sure to stimulate theatergoers,” said
Repertory Philippines new associate artistic director Menchu Lauchengco-Yulo.
Immediate past associate artistic director Joy Virata will
remain as a member of the board of directors. Baby Barredo remains as the
artistic director.
“Menchu has been with Rep since she was a teenager and has
developed into one of the finest all-around actresses in the Philippines,” said
Virata. “She has also become a great director. She is a natural-born, efficient
manager. But, most important of all, she is passionate about theater and her
loyalty and love for Rep is unquestionable.”
Rep’s 2011 line-up starts off with its “season shows.”
Based on the novel by Amy Tan, “The Joy Luck Club,” to be
directed by Anton Juan, features the stories of four Chinese immigrant women
and their American-born daughters.
“It’s a great production to start off 2011, especially since
it will be from Feb. 4-20, which is great for Valentine’s dates and for
celebrating the Chinese New Year,” says Yulo.
Next is a comedy thriller based on an Alfred Hitchcock
masterpiece. “The 39 Steps” (March 4-20, 2011), to be directed by Ana Abad
Santos, has “over 150 zany characters played by a cast of four.”
Yulo says, “There will be non-stop laughs as audiences
witness missing fingers, a plane crash, and some good old-fashioned romance!”
From April 1-7, 2011, audiences can catch the comedy
“Shakespeare in Hollywood,” to be directed by Jaime del Mundo. Shakespeare’s
most famous fairies, Oberon and Puck, end up on the Hollywood set of Max
Reinhardt’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.”
Smitten by the glitz and glamour of show biz, “they
encounter blonde bombshells, movie moguls, arrogant ‘asses,’ and, yes, a feisty
flower as they deal with loopy love triangles that end with raucous results,”
says Yulo.
Children’s theater
For its Children’s Theater, from Aug. 13-Dec. 11, 2011, Rep
will stage one of the most performed shows in America: “Seussical.”
Tony Award winners Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty
(“Ragtime” and “Once On This Island”) created the music, lyrics and book of
this musical that brings to life the characters from the popular Dr. Seuss
books.
“‘Seussical’ is a fantastical, magical, musical
extravaganza, with all of our favorite Dr. Seuss characters, including Horton
the Elephant, Gertrude McFuzz, Lazy Mayzie and Jojo, a little boy with a big
imagination,” says Yulo.
“The show will run for only one hour and 15 minutes, the
perfect length for younger audiences. Children and their parents will enjoy
seeing all these characters from the Jungle of Nool, the Circus McGurkus and
the invisible world of the Whos.”
2011 yearend big musical
Rep’s past big musicals have included “Sweeney Todd,” “Sound
of Music” and “Fiddler on the Roof.” “Peter Pan” will be its yearend big
musical from Sept. 29-Oct. 30, 2011, with Sam Concepcion in the title role, to
be directed by Jaime del Mundo and Menchu Launchengco-Yulo.
“Join the boy who doesn’t want to grow up, Peter Pan, and
his adventures with the Darling siblings Wendy, John and Michael as they battle
Captain Hook and his pirates in a world filled with Lost Boys, mermaids,
Indians and many other interesting characters,” says Yulo.
With music by George Stiles and lyrics by Anthony Drew
(“Honk!” and Disney’s “Mary Poppins”), Peter Pan will be a co-production with
Stages theater company.
“It’s going to be a spectacular musical where the actors
will fly right before the audiences’ eyes,” she says.
Except for “Peter Pan,” which will be staged at the Meralco
Theater, all Rep performances will be at Onstage Theater.
“Meralco Theater is across the street from Robinsons
Galleria Mall while Onstage Theater is inside Greenbelt 1 Mall,” says Yulo.
“This gives our audiences opportunities to do other things with their families
or friends before or after watching our shows.”
Rep marketing manager Rem Zamora said they announced their
line-up and show schedules early so that those who’d like to earn extra income
for themselves or raise funds for their organizations can plan ahead for 2011.
“The arts can be profitable!” he says. “All our productions
are available for showbuying and block ticket sales for individuals or groups.”
“All productions are also available for sponsors who wish to
reach Rep’s audiences,” he says. “Enderun College is sponsoring Rep for the
entire year. Not only do they leverage Rep’s reputation for quality shows to
access our audiences, through their support of theater, they also serve as a
patron of the arts. We’re inviting companies or individuals to receive the same
opportunities in sponsoring Repertory Philippines that Enderun College is
getting.”

PETA PRESENTS CAREDIVAS FOR FEBRUARY AND MARCH 2011
Care Divas is a disarmingly funny and candid musical drama
inspired by the award-winning documentary 'Paperdolls'. It is a story about
five Filipino transgender migrant workers who have emigrated to Israel to work
as health care providers for the elderly and who in their spare time, perform
as drag queens. While desperate to make ends meet in another country, they also
struggle to search for freedom and acceptance. Entertaining as it is, the play
also demonstrates the generosity of spirit, resilience and humanity of
Filipinos. Directed by Maribel Legarda
Written by Liza Magtoto inspired by the documentary
'Paperdolls'
Musical Direction by Vincent De Jesus
