University of Sto. Tomas Christmas Concert 2019

It was the night of December 6 at around 7pm but it felt like Christmas eve!

———-
After the show, it made me reflect on so many questions:

How do we assess religious performances?

Is the process of performance-making in the church should rely deeply on spirtuality more than the artist’s technique?

How do we mix indigenous people in a very catholic performance with utmost sensitivity
of their culture?

If a performance is a form of worship, how do we create sincerest intentions?

When do we exoticize? Is there a need to exoticize?

How do we evaluate/derermine inclusivity from mere exoticizing cultures and disability?

Maybe in my process of performance-making I’ll try to find answers to these questions. I want to continue this conversations and questions in the future.

Anyway, the christmas concert was grand!
The singers and musicians were amazing!Cathrine Sunga was a stand out performer!
