IV-Discussion
Performing arts refers to forms of art in which artists use their voices, bodies or inanimate objects to convey
artistic expression. It is different from visual arts, which is when artists use paint, canvas or various materials to
create physical or static art objects. Performing arts include a range of disciplines which are performed in front
of a live audience.
Performing Arts (traditional music, dance and theatre)
The performing arts range from vocal and instrumental music, dance and theatre to pantomime, sung verse
and beyond. They include numerous cultural expressions that reflect human creativity and other many
intangible cultural heritages.

The performing arts refer to the forms of art where an artist uses his own face, body and presence. The major
types of performing arts include music, opera, dance, drama, and spoken words.

The different types of performing arts are theater, musical theater, dance, music, acting, magic
and circus acts. Performing arts involve facial expressions, voice, and body language to communicate a
creative fabrication. Most forms of performing arts are done in front of a live audience, with the exception of
some film and television acting and video musical productions.
All types of dance, whether they come in the form of ballet, tap, jazz, or hip hop, are considered as performing
arts. Dancers typically participate in formal performances, often referred to as recitals. The art of dance
attempts to convey emotion, stories, and character tendencies through the use of body language. Music
usually accompanies dance performances and body language will often seem to be synchronized with the
emotions the music evokes.
7 Performing Arts in the Philippines
1. Epic poetry
The epic poetry, considered as the highest point of Filipino folk literature, dates back to the pre-colonial
period. These epics, usually of romance or adventure, are commonly presented during festivals and
gatherings.

2. Duplo
The duplo is a poetic debate presented through song and dance, which originated from indigenous
courtship customs. It is also a form of balagtasan.

3. Senakulo
Another performing art stemming from religious custom is the senakulo or Passion Play. This is the
dramatization of the life and death of Jesus Christ and is usually presented as a community activity during the
Lenten season.

4. Traditional Folk Dance

Native dance comes from the old Filipino people and transferred by generation to generation.
5. Moro-moro
For a time, one of the most popular types of theater in the Philippines was the Moros y Cristianos, which is
not surprising for a country that was under Spanish rule for 300 years. Commonly called moro-moro, it is a
street drama that usually lasted for several days, and presented both secular themes like love and vengeance,
and the Spanish-influenced religious theme of the conflict between Christians and Moors. The moro-moro only
survives in isolated towns today, and though an integral part of Filipino art history, it may not bear too much
close scrutiny these days with its less than admirable depictions of intolerance.

6. Bodabil
It sounds like “vaudeville”, and it is. This form of theater was an American import in the pre-war era, but
became uniquely Filipino with the indigenization of the name. Like its American counterpart, bodabil featured a
variety of musical numbers, comedic and dramatic skits, and song and dance numbers. Popular Filipino
performers such as Dolphy, Anita Linda, and sarsuwela legend Atang de la Rama got their start in bodabil. It
has since died out with the rise of cinema, but its influence can still be felt in television variety shows.

7. Sarsuwela
The sarsuwela is a type of melodrama, usually in three acts, that uses alternately spoken and sung words.
It was the Spanish influence that started the sarsuwela, but it was also this colonization that led Filipinos to
incorporate nationalistic overtones in the art. This resulted in the arrest of several prominent writers such as
Aurelio Tolentino and Pascual Poblete, and eventually, the shutdown of sarsuwela companies during the
American occupation. As proof of its importance in Philippine culture, in 2011 the National Commission for
Culture and the Arts designated the sarsuwela as a nominee for the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage
lists.

Traditional Folk Dances of the Philippines

The Itik-Itik
The best description of the Itik-Itik is that the steps mimic the way a duck walks, as well as the way it splashes
water on its back to attract a mate.

The Tinikling
The Tinikling is considered by many to be the Philippines’ national dance. The dance’s movements imitate the
movement of the tikling bird as it walks around through tall grass and between tree branches. People perform
the dance using bamboo poles.

The Sayaw sa Bangko

The Sayaw sa Bangko is performed on top of a narrow bench. Dancers need good balance as they go through
a series of movements that include some impressive acrobatics.

The Binasuan
The Binasuan is an entertaining dance that is usually performed at festive social occasions like weddings and
birthdays. Dancers carefully balance three half-filled glasses of rice wine on their heads and hands as they
gracefully spin and roll on the ground. It is originated in Bayambang in the Pangasinan province, and though
it’s usually performed alone, it can also become a competition between several dancers.

The Pandanggo sa Ilaw

The Pandanggo sa Ilaw is similar to a Spanish Fandango, but the Pandanggo is performed while balancing
three oil lamps – one on the head, and one in each hand. It’s a lively dance that originated on Lubang Island.
The music is in 3/4 time and is usually accompanied by castanets.
The Pandanggo Oasiwas
The Pandanggo Oasiwas is similar to the Pandanggo sa Ilaw, and is typically performed by fishermen to
celebrate a good catch. In this version, the lamps are placed in cloths or nets and swung around as the
dancers circle and sway.

The Maglalatik
The Maglalatik is a mock war dance that depicts a fight over coconut meat, a highly prized food. The dance is
broken into four parts: two devoted to the battle and two devoted to reconciling. The men of the dance wear
coconut shells as part of their costumes. The Maglalatik is danced in the religious procession during the fiesta
of Biñan as an offering to San Isidro de Labrador, the patron saint of farmers.
The Kappa Malong-Malong
The Kappa Malong-Malong is a Muslim-influenced dance. The malong is a tubular garment, and the dance
essentially shows the many ways it can be worn. There are men’s and women’s versions of the dance since
they wear malongs in different ways.

The Cariñosa
The Cariñosa is a dance made for flirting! Dancers make a number of flirtatious movements as they hide
behind fans or handkerchiefs and peek out at one another. The essence of the dance is the courtship between
two sweethearts.

The Singkil
The Singkíl originated from the Maranao people who inhabit the shores of Lake Lanao. It is derived from a
story in the Darangen, the pre-Islamic Maranao interpretation of the ancient Hindu Indian epic, the Ramayana.
The name of the dance itself means “to entangle the feet with disturbing objects such as vines or anything in
your path”. It is a popular dance performed during celebrations and other festive entertainment. Originally only
women, particularly royalty, danced the Singkíl, which serves as either a conscious or unconscious
advertisement to potential suitors.

Bodabil
It sounds like “vaudeville” Like its American counterpart, bodabil featured a variety of musical numbers,
comedic and dramatic skills, and song and dance numbers. .

Sarsuwela
A type of melodrama, usually in three acts, that uses alternately spoken and sung words. It was the Spanish
influence that started the sarsuwela, but it was also this colonization that led Filipinos to incorporate
nationalistic overtones in the art. This resulted in the arrest of several prominent writers such as Aurelio
Tolentino and Pascual Poblete, and eventually.

What are the different art forms in the Philippines?

Arts in the Philippines also known as various forms of the arts that have developed and accumulated
in the Philippines from the beginning of civilization in the country up to the present era. They reflect the range
of artistic influences on the country's culture, including indigenous forms of the arts, and how these influences
have honed the country's arts. These arts are divided into two distinct branches, namely, traditional arts and
non-traditional arts. Each branch is further divided into various categories with subcategories.
