• Contemporary Philippine Theatre and Performance

  The popularization of theatre workshops and the use of multi-art and integrated arts approaches have encouraged non-theatre artists to create original plays based on their real-life experiences. Examples include Tula-dula, Dula-tula, the Sabayang Pagbigkas or Choral Poetry, or Rap and Flip-top. Ordinary spaces like parks, streets, riverbanks, bus stops, and trains have become venues for performances. Theatre transpires for as long as a living experience is created in an environment shared by the performer or actor and the spectator or audience.
• Contemporary Philippine Dance


  In the Philippines, the idea of dance was introduced by the Spaniards for social occasions like tertullas or formal parties. Dances like de Honor and the Rigodon Lanceros were performed. Balse, Polka, Mazurka and Escotis were prevalent in the social classes towards the end of the Spanish regime. Jota, Pandango, Habanera and the Maszurka became regionalized. Contemporary dance emerged in Europe and the United States at the height of the Industrial Revolution and the decline of Victorian social structures, from the ballet tradition. Isadora Duncan pioneered this in the US and termed it "new dance", free dance or modern romanticism, followed by Martha Graham who trained dancers in an American way. In the entertainment industry, the clog and tap dances were introduced in the vaudeville stage, and ballet was also brought in Bodabil.

These developments impacted Filipino composers like Nicanor Abelardo who composed like Schoenberg, with his violin sonata and sinfonietta. Antonino Buenaventura and Antonio Molina were influenced by Debussy's impressionism. The development of Philippine contemporary music is premised on the incorporation of native thematic materials, of native indigenous practice, as well as the philosophical theories in Philippine traditional music.

After the fall of the Marcos dictatorship and the revolutionary government of Corazon Aquino, the independent film movement was launched by maverick pictures whose format was video and genre, its short film opened up possibilities for artistic engagement through film with current technology. Regions beyond Metro Manila found representation and settings beyond the city became more visible, such as Cinema Rehiyon.
• The Hybrid Art Form


  In art forms, hybridity could mean the blurring of distinct traditional boundaries between artistic media, such as painting, sculpture, film, performance, architecture and dance. Hybrid art forms expand possibilities for experimentation and innovation in contemporary art. Blurring boundaries, breaking rules, and creating hybrids characterize much artistic work today, however, making meaning in art remains central to artistic practice.
