Groundwork for Cultural Institute
IPAG shared its pedagogies in the study and instruction of the transcreation of indigenous creative materials, the transformation of poetry, choreography, and playwriting in various forums nationwide this season. The efforts jumpstart the establishment of the future Institute of Cultural Resource Development and Management (I-CRMD) that shall be based in the MSU-IIT initiated by the IPAG.
                The Institute plans to provide the culture and art needs of the southern Philippines in instruction, production, and management, among others. Phase 1 of the program commences in April when a comprehensive needs survey shall be undertaken, with the purview of planning short term, and eventually degree, courses in the various art fields.
                Initiating is Steven P.C. Fernandez, DFA, whose concept is funded by the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA). The MSU-IIT is the Institute’s main partner.
