In a world that demands clarity, The Trans Actor embraces the beauty of becoming. 🎭

Unpredictability and deep reflections on identity make up the preparation process for The Trans Actor, a unique workshop-performance that explores the lived realities of trans actors navigating the Philippine film and theater industries. As the production’s opening night draws close, producer Maia Dapul shares their moments of q***r expression and connection during Pride Month.

The Trans Actor is set to be performed on June 28 and 29 at Myra Beltran’s Dance Forum, Quezon City.

Prior to seeing it in motion this weekend, catch a glimpse of it through Maia’s eyes here: heights-ateneo.webflow.io/articles/the-trans-actor-in-media-and-in-motion

Honoring culture by linking the mountain and the city 🏡

The Ateneo Art Gallery embraces Baguio art in their latest exhibition “Gongs. Blood. Smoke. Earth.” Co-presented by the Victor Oteyza Community Art Space Foundation and Baguio Kunst Book Publishing, the exhibition features the works of prominent artists that reside and originate from Baguio.

When surveying the arts and culture of Baguio, the theme of the exhibition emphasizes Indio-genius, a term that highlights the knowledge, resilience, and power of the Filipino. The works not only pay tribute to the ‘ghost’ artists of their communities, but also the incredible craftsmanship and rich history that Filipinos possess.

Witness how the exhibition outlines the history of Baguio art from the formation of the Baguio Arts Guild to the present in HEIGHTS Ateneo’s 73rd Editor-in-Chief’s feature here: heights-ateneo.webflow.io/articles/traversing-baguios-art-scene-in-gongs-blood-smoke-earth

Lumalabo ang hangganan sa pagitan ng pagiging artista at politiko.

Para sa unang yugto ng PERSONALITIKA ng Ateneo ENTABLADO, isang naglahong artista ang nakipagsapalaran sa mundo ng politika. Mula sa pagiging reyna ng mga telenobela patungo sa paghalal bilang bise-alkalde, ipinamalas ng Run, Marga, Run ang pagkabagabag sa dinamismo ng artista at politiko.

Siyasatin ang hugpungan ng pagiging artista at politiko sa pagsusuri ng Bagwisang Filipino: heights-ateneo.webflow.io/articles/run-marga-run-at-ang-hugpungan-ng-artistat-politika

“Buksan ang mga mata. Hindi niyo ba nakikita?” — Sienna in Hindi Basta Alamat

Since the closing of MEDIARTRIX - UST’s production Sierra Madre: Isang Musikal, the 2025 Midterm Elections had concluded last May 12. In due time, new leaders will serve the country, and whether they listen to the Filipinos’ cries or prioritize personal interests will dictate the future of the Philippines.

A pivotal aspect of an authorities’ service and leadership is their stance on environmental issues. Thus, their decisions and care for the environment will largely affect humanity, as shown in the play’s narrative focused on Sierra Madre.

Art lives as an ever evolving dialogue picked up and left off at open ends. 🍀

The exhibit "Open Ends" by AB Art Management seniors wrapped up last May 10 at the 2nd floor Old Rizal Library Gallery Space.

The showcase displayed five seniors' theses, including HEIGHTS Ateneo Art staffer Hannah Jaugan's exhibit "Gloss with a Purpose."

Curations also found in the gallery space were Jacob Tredente's book "WORSHIPTHEGAYS | Radicalizing Drag: Examining the Filipino Alternative," Alexandra Gonzalez's showcase "An Ethnography of Flowers," Sachi Primo's production "Tending to Time," and Moira Diaz's book "Tapping Into Worlds of Past and Present."

Congratulations, seniors! Let this be an open end curation of all your hard work.

Is it family therapy or political strategy? 🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒🎭

For Ateneo ENTABLADO’s second act of PERSONALITIKA, the drama in Isang Pamilya goes beyond the rehearsal room and into the heart of dynastic dysfunction, public performance, and power that hits a little too close to home.

It is the kind of family fight where everyone is speaking, no one is listening, and someone is always running for office. From laugh-out-loud lines to moments that leave you uncomfortably quiet, Isang Pamilya pulls back the curtain on what it means to inherit both trauma and influence, asking if the show ever really ends.

Read HEIGHTS Online’s review of the biting satire here: heights-ateneo.webflow.io/articles/isang-pamilya-and-the-drama-of-dynasties
