Learner’s Tasks

Lesson Overview
(Pages 304 - 315 of Learner’s Material)

Theater is the major art form that brings together all the other art forms—
from painting and sculpture to installation art, to music, to dance, to literature,
even to computer arts—in a single production. A story is acted out on stage (or
other performance area) by actors portraying the characters, bringing them to
life and developing the plot through dialogue and actions, and sometimes
through song and/or dance.

Play is a work of drama created by a playwright, usually consisting mostly

of dialogues between characters and intended for theatrical performances.

Philippine Theater and Performing groups

Philippines has a rich and thriving theater industry that you may be
interested to venture into, and in the future. Productions range from original plays
with Philippine themes and settings; to renowned theater classics from past
centuries;to contemporary musicals from Broadway or London’s West End. Below
is an overview of some of the more prominent theater and performing groups in
the country and their major productions.

The Philippine Opera Company (POC) was founded in 1999 by a group of

dedicated classically-trained singers, led by soprano Karla Gutierrez as artistic
directress. The POC seeks to develop performers as well as audiences for classical
music performances, both foreign and Filipino.

Elements of Art as Applied to an Original Performance

1. Sound and Music – incorporating sound recording and editing techniques
available using applications for desktop or laptop computers, tablets, and
android phones.
2. Gesture, Movement, and Dance – incorporating appropriate dance styles
and techniques learned in Physical Education classes.
3. Costume, Mask, Makeup, and Accessories – incorporating art techniques such
as painting, paper mache, assemblage, simple sculpture and industrial design.
4. Spectacle – creating a striking, even awe-inspiring effect on stage through the
use of lighting, sound, music, costumes, dance, and special effects.

Principles of Art as Applied to an Original Performance

1. Rhythm,
2. Movement
3. Balance
4. Emphasis
5. Harmony
6. Proportion

Rhythm
Rhythm in art is possibly one of the most difficult and most important
ingredients required for building an interesting composition. Just like in music, the
music we hear and the different beats produce a physical reaction from us,
making us move our bodies to the rhythm, allowing us to express the inner
sensations sound produced. It is often referred to as the principles of organization
or design principles. Rhythm refers to the movement or the visual flow within a
certain piece. It is sometimes also referred to as a tempo or a beat created that
invites the eye to enter into the journey of the artist’s soul.

2
Movement
Movement is the path our eyes follow when we look at a work of art, and is
generally very important to keep a viewer’s eyes engaged in the work. Without
movement artwork becomes stagnant. A few good strategies to evoke a sense
of movement (among many others) are using diagonal lines, placing shapes so
that they extend beyond the boundaries of the picture plane, and using
changing values.

Balance
Balance in art refers to the use of artistic elements such as line, texture,
color, and form in the creation of artworks in a way that renders visual stability. In
general terms, balance refers to the equilibrium of different elements. However,
in art and design, balance does not necessarily imply a complete visual or even
physical equilibrium of forms around a center of the composition, but rather an
arrangement of forms that evokes the sense of balance in viewers. Balance is
important as it brings visual harmony, rhythm and coherence to artwork, and it
confirms its completeness.

There are few types of balance, and they are as follows:

● Symmetry – a form of balance achieved by the use of identical balance
compositional units on either side of a vertical axis within the picture plane.
● Approximate Symmetry - a form of balance achieved by the use of similarly
balanced compositional units on either side of a vertical axis within the
picture plane.
● Radial Symmetry – a form of balance that is even, radiating out from a
central point to all four quadrants of the shape’s constraining plane.
● Asymmetry – a form of balance attained when the visual units on balance
either side of the vertical axis are not identical, but are placed in positions
within the picture plane.

Emphasis
Emphasis is a principle of art which refers to the use of visual elements to
draw attention to a certain area, usually a focal point, in an artwork. There are
many ways you could go about using emphasis in your art. Usually, it involves
contrasting different elements against each other. For example, a bright red
object will stand out among dull gray backgrounds or a straight line among curve
lines, or a round object among circular objects.

Proportion
Proportion is the comparison of dimensions or distribution of forms. It is the
relationship in scale between one element and another, or between a whole
object and one of its parts. Differing proportions with a composition can relate to
different kinds of balance or symmetry, and can help establish visual weight and
depth.

Harmony
Harmony is a good design and achieved through the balance of unity and
variety; the elements need to be alike enough so we perceive them as a
belonging together and different enough to be interesting.

Philippine Theater and Performing Groups

PETA and Tanghalang Pilipino

In the past few decades, modern theater groups have continued to

express the distinctly Philippine interpretation of both originally written plays as well
as adaptations of foreign works translated into Filipino.

At the forefront of these are the Philippine Educational Theater Association

(PETA), founded in 1967 by Cecile Guidote-Alvarez, and Tanghalang Pilipino, the
resident theater company of the Cultural Center of the Philippines, founded in
1987.

groups span the range from

classical works, to the
spectacle of Philippine myths
and legends, to commentaries
on current social and political
issues.

Meanwhile, other Philippine theater groups are also staging original and
adapted plays and musical productions, primarily in English. Best known among
these are Repertory Philippines, Trumpets, and New Voice Company. More
recently, Theater Down South has been added to their roster. And championing
the cause of the more classical form of musical performances is the Philippine
Opera Company.

Repertory Philippines

In 1967, theater director Zenaida Amador fulfilled her dream of bringing the
best of Broadway and London’s West End to Filipino audiences. Together with
actress Baby Barredo, Amador established Repertory Philippines, a company that
not only staged English-language plays and musicals year-round but trained
actors and actresses as well. The company continues with this vision to this day.
Multi-awarded theater actress and singer, Lea Salonga, in fact, began her
career as a child lead in productions of Repertory Philippines. From there, she
went on to become an international stage superstar in the lead role of Kim in Miss
Saigon— putting the Philippines on the world map in terms of theater talent.

London’s Miss Saigon.

Also, among Repertory’s many notable achievements was the 1993 staging
of the international hit musical Les Miserables in Manila with an all-Filipino cast and
production team.

In its 2009 season, Repertory added a Filipino classic in English to its

productions—A Portrait of the Artist as Filipino, by National Artist Nick Joaquin. To
date, it continues to offer a mix of productions ranging from literary classics to
contemporary satires, comedies, and musicals.
