The Tanghalin ang Tanghalan: 1st National Conference on Theater Aesthetics will be on September 28-29, 2011 at the Silangan Hall, Cultural Center of the Philippines, Manila through the assistance of the National Commission for Culture and the Arts and Teatro Sambisig Inc.
The conference aims to provide a venue for sharing and critical discussion among theatre artists and scholars. The conference highlights include a presentation of research results of the Tanghalan: A Preliminary Survey and Research on Regional Theater Aesthetics and a sharing-discussion which we hope to generate among theatre scholars, artists and students. The conference hopes to develop critical lenses in appreciating the richness and diversity of theatre work through the inputs of participating theatre practitioners. Proceedings of the conference will be developed as resource materials for theater artists, teachers and students.
Share in the discussion with theatre artists from different regions! Guest speakers include Dr. Bienvenido Lumbera, Dr. Nicanor Tiongson, Dr. Leoncio Deriada, Dr. Prospero Covar, Dr. Priscelina Legasto, Dr. Lulu Torres-Reyes, Dr. Orlando Magno, Mr. Nestor Horfilla, Mr. Lutgardo Labad, Prof. Jerry Respeto, Mr. Roberto Mendoza, Mr. Manny Pambid and other luminaries in cultural research. During the conference, regional research findings will be presented and validated through a critique and validation process by the speakers and the delegates. Through critical inputs and feedback, there’s a hope to come up with approaches in appreciating current practices in theatre work.
