CHOREOGRAPHY

Choreography is an arrangement or design for


dance movements usually accompanied by
music. It is the art of dancing that is
composed of a series of dance steps and
movement to create a story. It has become an
integrated art, for it incorporates both dance
and music.
CHOREOGRAPHY

In the regions, there is a minimal number of


contemporary dances because the traditional dances
are still being widely practiced. However, the
choreography of these traditional dances have varied
through generations. Modifications are done to adapt
to contemporary times.
Contemporary choreography are mostly seen in the
productions iof street dancing for regional festivals.
MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS

A musical instrument is any tool or device that


produces sound. It consists of an array of shapes and
styles from the simple to the complex. One interacts
with a musical instrument in a way that it produces a
sound, like a guitarist plucking the strings of his guitar
or a drummer beating his gong. Examples of
traditional musical instruments in the Philippines are
the kulintang, gangsa, and the kutyapi.
MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS

Integration of arts is seen through the intricate design of


musical instruments, representing visual arts; and their
functions, which is primarily to create music. A musical
instrument alone is an example of integrated art. One
notable Filipino, National Artist for Music Lucresia Kasilag,
infused the sounds of naive instruments on new forms, such
as theater and pictures. Some of her remarkable works are
Orientalia Suite for Piano and Chamber and Philippine
Percussion Instruments, and Improvisations No 3 and 4 for
Moslem gamelan and tipaklong.
LITERARY AND MUSICAL COMPOSITION

Literary works are written works meant to be read, sung, or


delivered in a play. They can be written in prose or in poetry form.
Musical compositions, on the other hand, are not written but
notated (represented by muscial symbols). Since they use symbols
particular to their field, they must be learned. These two types of
compositions are some of the easisest art forms to integrate with
another form. Literary pieces, such as novels, short stories,and epics
are the most common bases of other forms like theater and cinema.
A theater without a playwright is nothing; so is a cinema without a
scriptwriter.
LITERARY AND MUSICAL COMPOSITION
In the contemporary times, the most common examples are the
movie adaptations of some well-known literary pieces, such as
“Bata, Bata, Pa’no ka Ginawa?” and “Dekada ‘70,” novels by
Lualhati Bautista that were turned into films by Chito Roῆo; and
Mars Ravelo’s comics “Darna,” “Captain Barbell,”and
“Dyesebel,”which were adapted into numerous movies and TV
programs through time. It is the same with musical
compositions. Anotated work must be performed to be
appreciated. Aside from recitals, compositions are now being
enjoyed in dance, theater, cinema and broadcast arts, and even
in new media.
VISUAL DESIGN

Visual Design is a composition or layout of lines,


shapes, and color to form patterns on paper;
textile, or any piece for that matter. It can be found
in either two-dimensional works like painting and
drawing; or three-dimensional works like
installation and sculpture. Integration of arts in
visual design happens in several hybrid art forms
like installation videos and the like.
THEATRICAL PERFORMANCE

The staging and execution of a production, like drama,


opera, festivals and the like fall under the form called
theatrical performance. It pertains to a public
presentation of a dramatic or musical entertainment.
It involves a lot of teamwork that includes the
producer; the director, the cast, and the crew of
workers. Technology, wether traditional, digital,
multimedia, innovative, or alternative, is a vital part of
any performance.
THEATRICAL PERFORMANCE
Contemporary theatrical performance is experimental ,
innovative, controversial, and interdisciplinary, going
beyond theater and other art forms, like puppetry, cinema,
and sculpture. It also goes out to other disciplines like
psychology, and the social and political sciences. One
specific example of a contemporary theatrical performance
is PETA’s Rak of Aegis, a musical tribute to the Filipino 90s
band, Aegis. It used the integration of music, theater, and
dance to create a hybrid piece of art.
CINEMA

The cinema is the most popular of the art forms;


yet, it is the youngest of all. It appeared only in
early 1900s in Manila and later spread in the
regions. It has gained public acceptance since
then. The characteristics of the cinema is similar
to the theater; except that it is not a live
performance and the action is seen in a flat
screen.
CINEMA

However, in the advent of technology, even the theater- known to


produce live performances-has been brought to the cinema. One
recent example is the 2012 comedy-musical, I Do Bidoo Bidoo: Heto
nAPO Sila! a movie tribute to the prized trio of the 80s, the APO
Hiking Society. A lot has happened in the contemporary art scene
since its onset in the 70s. In the regions, art forms are now
collaborative and community-based, fostering values of
camaraderie, cooperation, team-building, and pride of place.
