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

Let start here…………

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

2
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.

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 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 arts 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 background or a straight line among curve lines, or a round object among circular objects.

3
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.

 The productions of these groups
span the range from daring new
presentations of 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.

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.

Activity 2. Reenact the functions/roles in the elements of arts as applied in original
performance with proper attire and costume of the chosen element.
 Take a picture or short video while performing the roles and send it to your
teachers’ social media account or its mapeh page.
 If no device available, find a picture from any available resources that does the
role in any of the elements of arts. Paste it to bond paper.

For example:
1. Sound and Music – the students will perform or reenact how it should be done in preparing a
