The country’s biggest multi-arts festival, which since its inception has attracted young art enthusiasts, returns at the Cultural Center of the Philippines on Feb. 3 to 4. 

With the theme, “Pusuan ang Sining,” the 14th Pasinaya Open House Festival continues its two-part program, dubbed Palihan at Palabas. 

PUSUAN ANG SINING. The 14th Pasinaya Festival at the CCP, happening tomorrow, features a two-part program where guests can attend workshops as well immerse themselves in various exhibits and performances. 

In Palihan, happening on the first day of the festival, the guests can “workshop all they can” from 8:45 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. at the different CCP venues.

The workshop-all-you-can only requires participants to pay-what-you-can, for a suggested donation price of P50. Participants may go in and out of the different CCP venues to attend the 30-minute workshops in various art disciplines conducted by artists, resource persons, and teachers. 

For dance, the Pasinaya Palihan will include workshops in hiphop, ballroom, folk dance, ballet for kids and adults, modern ballet, and creative movement for teachers. Theater workshops will include musical theatre, children’s, teens, and adult theater, playwriting, improv, storytelling, collaborative theater, and directing space.

Music workshops will be composed of classical guitar, rondalla, Philippine musical instruments, percussion, chamber music, solo singing, children and youth choir singing, hand-bell ringing, and ukulele. For the classical guitar and ukulele workshops, participants are free to bring their own nylon-stringed guitars and ukuleles.

The Pasinaya Palihan includes workshops in ballroom, folk dance, and ballet for kids and adults, among many others.

During the Palabas, on the second day of the festival, the audience can watch films, immerse themselves in various exhibits, and experience various performances by the Ballet Philippines, the Philippine Ballet Theater, the Philippine Madrigal Singers, the Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra, the Ramon Obusan Folkloric Group, Tanghalang Pilipino, the UST Symphony Orchestra, the National Music Competitions for Young Artists, and approximately 300 guests performers and artists.

All venues are “zoned” according to the art forms and genres such as music, theater, dance, film, literature, visual arts, children and family, variety, and the artists market.

The Pasinaya extends its reach and boundaries beyond the CCP Complex by partnering with 14 museums, including Casa Manila, Museo Pambata, National Museum, Met Museum, Museum of Contemporary Art and Design, Bahay Tsinoy, UP Manila Museum of A History of Ideas, 98B Collaboratory and Hub Make Lab, Cinematheque, Museo Marino, Galleria Duemilla, Avellana Art Gallery, and NCCA Gallery.

For the past years, the Pasinaya has attracted thousands of spectators. In 2017, there were 26 exhibits for the viewing public—three art exhibits at the CCP and 23 in different museums. Forty-three films were screened—40 at the CCP venues and three at the Cinematheque.

Through the Pasinaya, the CCP fulfills its duty to both artists and audiences by providing a platform for the artists to showcase their talents and reach out to the audiences, while developing art appreciation and understanding among the people.
