The theatrical elements create different kinds of effects in the show. With the correct lighting, we can
manipulate the mood to be happy or sad.
Wildflower is packed with tension (an awaited revenge for a mother's death and her upper hand situation with
her enemies) and the supporting background music that adds to the tension; With this combination, it creates a
familiar theme for us in Philippine television drama. In a musical theater scene, we can manipulate the situation to be a
flashback by using the correct lighting of the stage which is the color of monochrome, sepia, or muted colors. These
represent flashbacks because it imitates old photos before color in media was invented.

The following Theatrical Elements will help us identify the artistic outcome of the musical play:

1. ACTION: the movement or development of the plot.

2. FOCUS: In lighting, the adjustment of the size and shape of a stage light and the direction in which it is aimed.
3. MOOD: the tone and feeling of the play through music, setting, or lighting.
4. ROLE: the character portrayed by an actor in a drama.
5. SITUATION: a combination of circumstances at a given moment.

BALLET IN THE PHILIPPINES

Dance and Ballet is the medium to interpret novels, folktales, and stories that gives visual excitement to all
characters that have lively bodily movements. Much of the performances are relayed in pantomime. A performance in
which a story is told without words by using body movements and facial expressions.

Filipino ballets vividly present folktales based on local fables and these are:
1. LOLA BASYANG – A Ballet adaptation of a masterpiece Folktales of Severino Reyes

Mga Kwento ni Lola Basyang. It is a typical storytelling scene showing the Grandmother (Lola Basyang, the pen
name of the author) seated on a rocking chair with her grandchildren listening to her captivating stories. It has two
episodes that were presented by Ballet Manila, with Lisa MacujaElizalde as the company’s Executive Director and
prima ballerina. The two episodes are entitled Tatlong Kuwento ni Lola Basyang (2009) and Tatlo Pang Kuwento ni
Lola Basyang (2013), these two episodes stories were taken from the dozens of stories in the collection of Severino
Reyes.

Tatlong Kwento ni Lola Basyang are the following stories:

● Ang Kapatid ng Tatlong Marya - This is a fantasy story set to neo-ethnic music in a contemporary style. The
music is by Joey Ayala, with choreography by Lisa Macuja-Elizalde.
● Ang Mahiwagang Biyulin - This is a local version of the Pied Piper tale where the main character mesmerizes
his followers through the music of his violin. The music is by Ryan Cayabyab, arranged by Arnold Buena, and
choreography is by Tony Fabella.
● Ang Prinsipe ng Mga Ibon - This is a love story where a princess falls in love with a bird. The music is taken
from selected musical works of National Artists arranged by Mon Faustino.
The Second Episode, Tatlo Pang Kuwento ni Lola Basyang, are the following stories:
● Ang Palasyo ng Mga Dwende - This is a romantic adventure wherein the heroine Yani is being mistreated by
her envious stepmother and stepsisters. The music and musical arrangements were done by Diwa de Leon using a
hegalong, a native boat-like string musical instrument from Mindanao. Illustration was done by Albert Gamos. The
choreographer was Gerardo Francisco who collaborated with Kris-belle Mamangun, Naomi Jaena, and Romeo
Peralta.
● Labindalawang Masasayang Prinsesa - This is a romantic fantasy of the twelve daughters of the king. It featured
fairly simple classical ballet steps with the traditional adagios or slow movements for the prince and princess. It also
featured the comic variations for the scenes with the king. The colors of the costumes depicted Filipino elements in
fiesta combinations. The music used OPM hits such as Kailangan Kita and Ikaw ang Lahat Sa Akin arranged by
Arnold Buena.
● Anting-Anting - This is a horror-comedy wherein the cowardly hero Huan tries to overcome his fears in order
to win his love. Musical arrangements were done by Juan Carlo Magsalin, with choreography by Osias Barroso in
collaboration with Michael Divinagracia. Illustration was done by Hubert Fucio. Costumes featured farmers’ clothing
for men and kimona/saya for women.
These productions of Ballet Manila featuring the six stories in two episodes add visual excitement and colorful sets
and costumes to the interesting fables and tales of Lola Basyang. With various choreographers, music composers,
music arrangers, and illustrators, the stories were transformed into a wonderland fantasy where the characters come
alive. It is not surprising that the productions have attracted a wide audience, especially among the young. The
appeal of the ballet production came not only from the tales or stories but also from the dance and music as well.
2. RAMA HARI – also known as King Rama. It is a Philippine adaptation of Ramayana that performed with Music,
Dance and Drama. A revival production of Rama Hari was presented at the Cultural Center of the Philippines from
November 30 to December 9, 2012 based on the 1980 version of the same production. This time, the pop ballet
musical featured singers Christian Bautista alternating with OJ Mariano as Rama, Karylle Tatlonghari/Kalila Aguilos
as Sita, and Robert Sena as Ravana. The character dances were done by Jean Marc Cordero/Richardson Yadao for
Rama, and Carissa Adea/Katherine Trofeo for Sita. Conducting the Manila Symphony Orchestra was Jeffrey Solares.
as well as epics from neighboring regions, such as India’s Ramayana. Highly
communicative movements and steps dramatize the actions in the respective stories.
