Tawid sa Harbour: Anything About Theatre

  • PERFORMING ARTS

TAWID SA HARBOUR feels like sitting in class with that teacher who can’t help turning every idea into a performance and every tangent into a doorway. Episodes flow with the same playful energy—part theatre geek-out, part gentle provocation, part "what does performance do?" I muse about bodies, stages, screens, and all the quirky little moments that make performance feel uncertain, chaotic, and alive—like a rehearsal when everyone’s overtired but inspired. The harbour becomes our shared studio, where we learn, laugh, spiral, and rethink about performance.
