 Introduction

Lesson 1: Techniques and Performance Practices applied to Contemporary Arts

Contemporary art is the art of today, in most cases it is defined as art that has

been and continues to be created during our lifetime or it is being part of everyday

practices. It challenges the feelings and thoughts of the artists and can freely relate the

message to the audience. In other words, it is more on freely expressing of one’s art

with or without considering the traditional conventions of arts.In addition, contemporary

art can be found anywhere because it enable people to reflect and respond to the

modern or present social concerns and issues pertaining to themselves and to the world

(Dedal, 2017).

Contemporary art uses a wide variety of techniques. Thus, it is relevant to

deepen your understanding on how to use these techniques and translate them into

useful artworks. The challenge now is how we are going to embrace the different arts

which reflect the Philippine cultures in various regions in order to promote and preserve

it. According to Perez (2016) contemporary art practices are expressed in different

ways, by an individual or by a collaboration of several artists. Perhaps one collaborative

art that is very common to every region is festival. Now, let us learn how these

techniques and practices can be very useful in transforming festivals.

Let’s get started. Please do your best to

accomplish the succeeding activities. It will only

take you couple of minutes.

PHILIPPINE FESTIVALS

Festivals are delightful events for the Filipinos – we are all feast-loving

people. We love to celebrate almost every aspect of our existence–from birth to

death. We have birthday celebrations, wakes for the dead, marriage feasts, and

others.

In almost every barangay, sitioor district, there is a fiesta in honor for a

particular patron saint. There are municipalities with many fiesta celebrations all

year round. For example, the Turumba Festival in Pakil is the longest religious

festival in the country. In Lucban, Pahiyas is in honor of their patron saint, San

Isidro Labrador.

8
In some municipalities of Quezon, the festival features different products and

celebrated differently from each other although the theme is the same. In Cebu,

Sinulog is in honor of Senior Sto. Niño which is also celebrated

inPistangItimnaNazarenoin Quiapo.

Other festivals are geared towards cultural preservation and tourism such

as the Panagbenga in Baguio City, Ati-atihan in Aklan, Dinagyang in Ilo-ilo,

Kadayawan in Davao, Maskara in Bacolod,and Moriones in Marinduque.It is only

in the Philippines that every municipality celebrates its own festival annua lly in

addition to provincial-wide and regional-wide festivals organized by the

Department of Tourism.

Each festival is unique wherein different art techniques are applied.

Flowers and ornamentals dominate the Panagbenga, Kiping in the Pahiyas,

colors and paints in Maskara, Ati-atihan, and Sinulog, and local products in other

festivals. Several festivals are profit-oriented; others are religious in spirit; while

others are festivals for a cause. No matter what type of festival is celebrated. The

important element is that the community is united in these festivals.

This time, I want you to organize your thoughts and

describethe use of contemporary arts in enriching

festivals.
