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!
Another Terrible Idea

Another Terrible Idea
MananangGAL GADOT on Manananggal Acting and Pambahay Aesthetics (MonoVlog Draft)
Kumu 6:30pm
So excited for this! Will talk about MANANANGGAL ACTING. Tagal ko na gusto makasama si Aldo Glenn Vencilao at siyempre si JV Can (na til 6am ko naman lagi kausap). Salamat, Makiyow!Kitakits sa Kumu ni Makiyow!
Did somebody order a performance in a box? Chika about 331 days of doing digital performances in social media.
Salamat, Eric Villanueva Dela Cruz at Bienangela Mapagu sa chikahan! Salamat din sa lahat ng dumaan Paul Liwag, Frida Britanny DelaPokipoki, at JV Can! From stories, fleet, speculative theatre, pagbuwag sa box set (kasi nga nasa bahay ka na), unboxing a digital performance, and transforming boo-boos in soc med as part of the performance.
Will devise a MonoVlog (Mananggal Acting and Pambahay Aesthetics) on Friday same time.
Maygad, gandang podcast material pala ng PERFORMANCE IN A BOX! Ready na ko. Hahaha.
Another Terrible Idea
Tawid sa Harbour in Kumu (and in podcast soon!)
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.
Salamat sa aking surprise collaborators last week na sina Emmanuel Feliciano at Bienangela Mapagu! We will release our MonoVlog (or DiaVlog or Greek Chorus na ba ito?) soon. Hintay lang. Oras lang kalaban.
For National Arts Month, I have set my intentions for my research and creative work. Here are my offerings this week:
8 Feb
Pausong Performances and More (Chika-Tambay)
On digital performances, and “Ay! Hindi theatre yan!”
12 Feb
Manananggal Acting and Pambahay Aesthetics (MonoVlog)
Pasok sa KUMU. Collab tayo.

Ask Me Anything in seance format. Recalling the spirit of the dead theatre.
