Steven Patrick C. Fernandez, IPAG Artistic Director and
Professor in the College of Arts and Social Sciences, shared his
learning experiences to an international gathering of theatre
experts at the 1st International University Theatre Association
(IUTA).
The historic meet of university-based theatre, gathered
luminaries from the U.S., Turkey, Croatia, Bangladesh, France,
Mexico, Belgium, Belarus, Korea, Taiwan, Hongkong, Germany,
Canada, Singapore, Thailand, Greece, and Estonia, including IUTA
President Jean-Marc Larrrue who delivered his message.
Fernandez, representing the Philippines, read his paper
"'Recycling' Myths as Theatre Pedagogy in Universities." He was
also the only invited speaker outside of Metro Manila.
Fernandez's paper drew from his theories and praxis condensed
from over 3 decades of theatre practice primarily with the
Institute's IPAG. Besides the IPAG, Fernandez is establishing
the first Philippine center in the Institute that will focus on
culture and performance studies, a program that is also
supported by the National Commission for Culture and the Arts.
