“New Theatre” productions opened February 7, 7:30 p.m., at the Rooftop Theatre of
the College of Arts and Social Sciences, MSU-Iligan Institute of Technology in
Iligan City.
Uwahig and Of
Cocks and Roces are two of IPAG’s latest works using the multi-media,
non-linear narrative, and its process of “distillation.” Full-house
audiences have been enjoying both plays. A dialogue with the director-playwright
follows every performance.
IPAG spearheads the Post Modern theatre movement in these parts producing such
acclaimed works as Ming Ming, Reviving Subalternity, and How
the Women of Joaquin Met Lawanen.
Uwahig was developed in collaboration with the Mindanao artists network
as Philippine entry to the 31st UNESCO International Theatre Institute Festival.
Uwahig and Of Cocks runs until February 27.

Savior returns from immersion
Hobart
Savior, IPAG Associate Artistic Director, returned from immersion in community
theatre in the Visayas as one of four grantees of the Ugnayan sa Sining program
of the CCP Outreach. The program involves immersion, collaboration, and the
exchange of experiences among art leaders. The exchange
 provides
these artists and the communities they represent with ample information about
each others activities.
Savior, also an Assistant Professor in the MSU-IIT English Department, worked
among artists in Iloilo and Bacolod Cities, particularly with the Dagyaw Theatre
and Dance Company of the Iloilo National High School. He also conducted
workshops for the School for Special Program for the Arts and immersed in
Heritage sites in various municipalities of Iloilo, in Sigma (Capiz), Roxas,
Dumaguete, Silay, and Aklan.
