PHILIPPINE OPERA COMPANY
What’s New
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.

Proportion
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
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.
2
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.

Theater Down South with their
Roles in a Stage Production
What’s New
Roles in a Stage Production
Most visible on stage in a theater production are the actors and actresses playing their
roles. However, behind the scenes is an entire team whose work begins months in
advance of the actual performance. It is they who support the actors and enable them
to truly bring the play to life. While the members of this team may vary depending on
how complex or simple the production is, below are the basic roles that most plays
require:


Producer – In a professional stage production, this is the person who takes the
play from a mere concept to an actual finished presentation. He or she chooses
all the team members and assigns them their functions, and oversees the
casting of the actors and actresses for the different roles. He or she also
decides on major logistical matters like when and where the play will be staged,
the production schedule, and in most cases either finances all the production
costs or else sources the funds needed.
Director – The director is the overall artistic coordinator of the entire production.
Like a conductor of an orchestra, he or she has a vision of the desired total
effect and impact of the performance. With the play’s script serving as a
“musical score,” the director ensures that each one in the production “hits all
the right notes” to create a cohesive, seamless performance that will engage
the audience.
Throughout the play’s rehearsals, the director instructs and guides the actors as to the
delivery of their lines of dialogue; their positions and movements on stage (called
“blocking”); the thoughts or feelings they are to convey through tone of voice, facial
expression, and gestures. By the time of the actual performance, all these should be
second nature to the actors as they portray their characters on stage. The director also
coordinates closely with the set, lighting, sound, costume, Makeup designer and the
choreographer.

Playwright – For a script intended for a stage performance, the writer of the
script is more specifically called a playwright. The initial concept or a plot maybe
original, and then develop into a play script.
The script forms the basis of the entire production. It contains the exact lines of
dialogue that each character will memorize and deliver on stage, often with notes on
tone of voice, facial expression, and even movement or blocking. It also provides a
clear description of the set, props, and lighting to be used in each scene. In some
7
cases, the director may collaborate with the playwright on making some script
adjustments in the course of the rehearsals to better achieve the desired effect.

Set designer – The concept and creation of the physical stage setup is the task
of the set designer. He or she builds the set (or sets) that will simulate the world
that the play’s characters are supposed to live in. The set may be realistic and
filled with authentic details; or it may be minimalist, merely suggesting the
setting with a few pieces of furniture or props and a simple backdrop. In either
case, the set designer ensures that the set will enable the actors to move about
easily and naturally to make their roles believable, and will truly provide the
ambiance on stage that the director and the playwright intend.
 Lighting designer – Coordinating closely with the set designer is the lighting
designer. Lighting is critical in creating the mood of each scene in the play,
highlighting a dramatic moment, signaling the entrance of a character, focusing
attention on a specific spot on stage, or even providing the blanket of darkness
for set and prop changes. Colored lights or filters may be used, as well as
special effects such as gradual dimming or brightening, a speckled effect like
sunlight through leaves, or flickering lights. The lighting designer plans all these
and adds detailed notes on the script for the lighting crew to follow during
rehearsals and the actual performance.
 Costume designer – The actors and actresses must look believable in their
roles, and much of this is owed to the costume designer. He or she studies the
general setting (time and place) that the play is meant to take place in, as well
as each character in the script. He or she then decides what attire will not
only give the audience a clear sense of the setting, but will also express each
character’s personality and distinct qualities.
The costumes may need to be designed and sewn to meet these requirements. Or
they may simply be assembled from available clothes and accessories, with some
additional touches created as needed. For a modern or avant-garde play, the actors
sometimes wear regular street clothes with a simple prop, a mask, or headgear to
denote the characters they are playing.


Production manager – Coordinating all the complex behind-the-scenes details
of staging a play is the production manager. He or she is tasked with overseeing
the crews for the sets and props, the sound and music, the lighting, and the
costumes. This includes ensuring that all the needed elements, facilities, and
equipment are not only available, but are in good working order, properly
catalogued and labelled, and safely stored from one rehearsal to the next, up
until the time of the performance.
Technical director – The technical director shadows the play’s director
throughout the entire production process. From the time the director presents
his or her vision for the play and issues instructions at every rehearsal, the
technical director carefully notes how each actor and every member of the
stage, sound, lighting, and costume crews need to be coordinated to bring the
director’s vision to life—ensuring that every instruction is properly executed.
By the time of the final technical rehearsal (sometimes called the dress rehearsal,
since it is performed in full costume and makeup), the director focuses on assessing
the total effect of the performance and how it might still be improved. It is then the
8
technical director who takes over to closely monitor the individual details, and again
ensure that these work together seamlessly in the actual performance.


Choreographer – In cases where a play involves dance in certain scenes, a
choreographer is included in the production team. He or she not only plans out
all the dance steps to suit the music, but also rehearses the actors until they
are able to perform the dance skillfully—while remaining “in character” on stage.
Should the play happen to involve fight scenes, the choreographer will likewise
program the moves of the opposing sides so these can be executed not only
believably, but safely as well.
Makeup designer – As the costume designer deliberates on the characters’
main attire, the makeup designer is brought in to plan the hairstyles and
makeup to complement the costumes. The work of the makeup designer may
be as simple as making the actors look natural for their respective roles—based
on their characters’ age and personality, and the time and place of the story.
But it may also be far more challenging, such as transforming the actors into
mythical.
Note : After reading each stage performance role the learner will make a short own
role description based on their own understanding .

What is It!
Today employs the ever-expanding powers of image manipulation programs
and applications to create an amazing effect in an actual performance which can
appear in an entire range of their performance whether as a physical output or a virtual
experience.
Computer/digital arts greatly contribute to the improvement of theater play in
the Philippines. It uses electronic and mechanical devices, rather than the artist’s own
hand to produce the desired images and effects. Thus, these are definitely technologybased art forms.
