Mga kapit-bahay, artista na ko sa Team Ampalaya Channel! Matulog kayo ng tanghali kasi manunuod kayo ng performance ko ng every Tuesday 10pm.
Hello, Layeta Pinzon Bucoy! May labada tayo.
Umaaraw, umuulan sa pandemya pero tuloy ang usapang teatro. Buhay pa tayo! Got accepted in 2 conferences in Singapore:”MonoVlog as a Protest from Home Movement” for IACSS. Will be a presenting in the panel “Surviving Critical Conditions: Filipinos Putting Up a Fight amidst Pandemonium over a Global Pandemic” with my DSCTA colleagues and ka-fellow sa NUS-ARI Oscar Tantoco Serquiña (the mother goose of the team), Charles Erize Ladia (kabagang sa pagka-coordinator), Junesse Crisostomo (kabagang sa Social Drama).”Kapit: E-mergen(t/cy) Practical Experiments and Temporary Communities in Theatre” for SDEA. Inspired by Virgin Labfest’s Kapit which reflected the partnership between VLF and UP Diliman. Salamat sa inspiration, JKi Anicoche at sa buong VLF na kumupkop sa amin at nagturo pabalik sa university!Yung ang saya mo tapos naalala mo kailangan mo na isulat yung papel.

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:
