Anything about theatre and performance
Ano ba yung MONOVLOG? Kelan ba masasabing PERFORMANCE ang isang content? Totoong THEATRE ba ang isang palabas kung ginawa ito online?
Tara! Makipag-Queentuhan tayo mamaya with Ms. Uleb Nieto at ating alamin kung may buhay pa nga ba ang teatro ngayong panahon ng pandemya.
Kumu Queentuhan with Ms. Uleb Nieto
March 24 (Wed) | 7PM
Livestream | JVCANTALK
To add to my experiments on online performances and to teaching performance in Zoom, I auditioned to get my Kumu account verified. I was given 1.5 minutes to perform inside this tiny box for 2255 viewers. Oooh the excitement (felt like vomitting every minute) of putting myself out there. I performed my favorite character MananangGAL GADOT.
Of course, this would not be possible without the support of my beloved community in Kumu:
Euphoria Family (special mention to Ate Glo, Jayr, and Paul who rehearsed me every week), The Chat (my Kumu mentor JV, Mark, and my favorite classmate Emman), Team Amplaya, BB Squad, Team Hubient, Lala Circle, every artist who collaborated with me and watched my performance, Carlo Pagunaling (for his wig), and Layeta (co-creator of MonoVlog).
I wanted to remind myself of and to instill in my students the value of auditions (prep to performance), the discipline we learn in theatre, the community we build in performance making, and the joy of earning your viewers through content that matters to you.
Karlito said YES and gave me my blue check (this means that I am now a featured live streamer with a bigger audience). Special pa because this was the season finale of OTS which featured women live streamers on International Women’s Month. Sulong, Babae!
We invited James Harvey Estrada, director of “Ostrich!! Hayupang Die-Bow-Ken” (Japan) and co-director of “Cave” (South Korea), to talk about healing, rituals, and building relationships in international collaboration during the global health crisis.

My reflections on the previous semester, how these musing are shaping my course packs to include wrestling, theatre ecosystem, accessibility of resources for audiences and for artists, and what we can learn from digital theatre.
Laban (at pahinga rin), mga ka-course pack!

Another Terrible Idea
Tawid sa Harbour in Kumu
I have been using Kumu as my playground in testing ideas (for class, course pack, paper, proposals, etc.) and in creating MonoVlogs. Grateful to friends, strangers, and even bots for being my fabulous collaborators.
For National Arts Month, I have set my intentions for my research and creative work. Here are my offerings this week:
22 Feb, 6:30 p.m.

Stars, monsters, aliens, prophecies, robots, hope, and hiwaga in creating the future of theatre.
