For the first time in the history of UP Diliman, the university is implementing remote learning. Faculty members have been working tirelessly to prepare course packs for students with or without access to the internet. Preparing course packs is a challenge for both faculty and student because of the limited resources (e.g. gadget, internet connection). The College of Arts and Lettersโ BAHAGINAN through the Department of Speech Communication and Theatre Arts (DSCTA) and the UPD Office for Initiatives in Culture and the Arts (UPD-OICA) is responding to this call through brown bag sessions entitled ๐-๐บ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ด๐ฒ๐ป(๐)๐ฐ๐ ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ฃ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ๐บ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ from 9 October to 25 November. The sessions will focus on possibilities and problems of theatre and performance in the time of the pandemic with the following themes:
โข new and emergent performance forms (multi-media/digital performance, online festival);
โข the state of artist welfare during the global health crisis; โข urgent and emerging roles in performance-making (actors as dramaturgs, playwrights as online content-makers, stage/production managers as OBS software managers);
โข digital modalities of learning and teaching theatre and performance.
