A Life in the Theater

Hello out there! After much trepidation and false starts, I have finally created my own blog! With apologies to Lord Olivier, I'm naming this after one of his biographies because it seems appropriate enough to describe the kind of life I have had and hope to live. I am celebrating 30 years of work in the theater this year, and though I have also dabbled in the other arts, television and film mainly, it is my theater credits that fill most of the pages in my CV.

So what to expect from the site? Oh, plenty of memories. I've had the privilege of working with many of the theater titans in the country and have a lot of stories to tell. Plenty of behind the scenes anecdotes, especially about the work that goes on in the company I am in right now -- Tanghalang Pilipino (Philippine Theater). And I would be glad to hear from others out there who may share the same interests. Ok, even if we don't. I'd still be happy to engage or start conversations about theater, film, relationships, life, and such other worthy pursuits (he he he).

There. The first step has been taken.

Carlo, Mandaya, Joel, and Charo: Thanks for the encouragement. I have too many topics to write that the problem is deciding which one to write first. Looking forward to hearing more from you, though.

Looking forward to rerading more of your musings on contemporary theater and cultural work tidbits -the kind of meanderings that amuse, move and provoke us to revisit our assumptions about what we love doing most.

TWENTY-FIVE LANDMARK PLAYS OF PHILIPPINE THEATER

Image
“OROSMAN at Zafira,” the 2008 reimagined dance theater production directed by Dexter Santos for Dulaang UP, based on the original text by Francisco Baltazar. Deviating from the standard komedya where the conflict is between theMoros and the Cristianos, this verse play is about warring kingdoms in the Middle East. A recent list by Entertainment Weekly of the best plays of the last 100 years prompted a timely question from the Script Analysis class I am conducting for the Tanghalang Pilipino Actors Company: Why is there no such list for Philippine theater? As a response, I hereby proffer a list of what I believe to be a representative sampling of 25 plays that can be considered as landmarks of Philippine theater. The list is arranged chronologically, and includes plays which were and are considered to have broken ground in local theater history, and/or plays which best represent particular theater movements or dramatic styles. I do not offer this as a definitive list, but

"HUBAD" and "THE PALANCA IN MY MIND" return for the Virgin Labfest

Two of the outstanding productions featured in last year's Virgin Labfest 2 return for a limited run in the 2007 Virgin Labfest 3, the annual festival of untried, untested, unpublished and unstaged plays. Writing about these plays, the Philippine Daily Inquirer's Gibbs Cadiz wrote that Job Pagsibigan’s “The Palanca in My Mind” directed Roobak Valle Valle "offered a diverting (if sitcom-ish) stab at the stuffed, geriatric image of the Palanca Awards, the country’s premier literary competition." Heading the cast is Wenah Nagales, who "virtually gobbled up the scenery as the starry-eyed writer Dory, supported by a shape-shifting cast of talented Tanghalang Pilipino actors." "Hubad" features Irma Adlawan and Nonie Buencamino who play a husband and wife who’ve taken to playing sexual games to spice up their marriage. According to Cadiz, the two actors "were a wonder to watch—nothing less than master classes on the use of body, voice, mind and exper

Susan Valdez is in town

SUSAN VALDEZ, the actress most famous for her role in Mike de Leon's "Itim", is in town for a short visit, her first after moving to New York in 1985. We met up last Saturday after the one-night performance of ART at the Music Museum, and together with Raquel Villavicencio, Gina Alajar, Rez Cortez, Bembol Roco, and for a brief while, Ricky Davao and Mark Gil, reminisced about all the productions and film projects done in the past and good naturedly ribbed her about what the future might hold for her if she decides to come back for good. I had the glorious fortune of working with Susan on a number of plays (that's us above flanking Barbara Perez, together with Tony Mabesa, Cris Michelena and Sonia Valenciano inBehn Cervantes' 1982 production of "Larawan" for UP Repertory, which we even toured to Cagayan and the Visayas) that included "Peer Gynt", "Hedda Gabler/A Doll's House", and Chris Millado's "Intermedyo" where s
