1 & 5 Feb Tawid sa Harbour

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.

For National Arts Month, I have set my intentions for my research and creative work.

Here are my offerings this week:

1 Feb

Isang Taong Walang Teatro (Chika-Tambay)

“The art of acting consists in keeping people from coughing”… Literally and figuratively in the time of COVID-19

5 FebSapi (MonoVlog)

A seance to recall the spirit of the dead theatre

Pasok sa KUMU. Collab tayo.

Reverse Videoke: I Won’t Last the Day Without You

Will be spending Salubong 2021 alone but maygad ang weird talaga ng mga trip ko!

Reverse Videoke via Kumu Ulebnieto

I sing/dictate;

My tablet/PC types the lyrics;

I will sing the new song composed by my tablet/PC;

I will try to do all the famous videoke shots and avatar dances (ipilit natin).

I will go live via Kumu.

Medyo kulang lang sa camera to show the lyrics pero i-push natin ang mental gymnastics ng set-up na ito.

Magbabasa ako ng tula ni Paolo Manalo! Pinahiram niya kanina!

P.S. And yes, salubong na but this is a study for my course pack next semester and for my future creative works.

P.P.S. Naalala ko lang kasi nung bata ako nakikinig ako ng radyo tapos sinusulat ko lyrics. Ganyan din mali-mali. Hahaha.

MANIGONG 2021!

Premiere: MonoVlog 14A

Premiered MonoVlog 14A in Kumu!!! MonoVlog 14 was presented in the ADSA 2020 conference in Sydney. Layeta translated it to Filipino to create the MonoVlog 14A.

Lovely welcome from old and new friends!!! Salamat!!

Maraming salamat, JV! Ang saya ng Kumubabad kwentuhan.

Layeta Pinzon Bucoy, akyat ka sa susunod!

We’re still experimenting the MonoVlog via the ulebnieto channel in Kumu. I will also be performing IN-BETWEEN MONOVLOGS while Lallie is brewing our regular MonoVlogs.

Nakakagutom pala ito. Nakakaloka!!!

ADSA 2020: MonoVlog 14

MonoVlog 14 (in performance-lecture-MonoVlog format) premiere at the Australasian Association for Theatre, Drama and Performance Studies (ADSA) Conference 2020: Acts of Gathering.

Grateful for the wonderful insights from all our participants, moderator Bryoni Trezise, and co-panelist Alex Talamo.

Jonathan Bollen and the ADSA committee, thank you for your work and for answering all my questions re. ADSA since March.

Forever grateful to Layeta Pinzon Bucoy for being so patient with our process (no internet, no camera, no stagehands, no motivation, 5-10 hours of phone call every month, during the lockdown and pandemic, etc.).

Shoutout to our MonoVlog followers and our ka-MonoVlog (Sining Banwa, Tanghalang Pilipino, Icebag Online)! Mabuhay kayo!

P.S. Layeta was my CO-ACTOR in this MonoVlog. Hahahaha! Iba siya!

P.P.S. Paano ko nalimot sa post na ito ang dahilan kung bakit ko kinarir na aralin ito??! Salamat, Oscar Tantoco Serquiña! I love you forever, classmate!!!!
