The museum tour component of the Pasinaya welcomes two new additions
namely CSB Center for Campus Art and Calle Wright. Hop on one of the shuttle
vans to avail the tour of participating museums and galleries in Pasay and Manila
that include the Met Museum, Museo Marino, Museo Pambata, National Museum’s
National Art Gallery, Museum of the Filipino People and Museum of Natural
History, Intramuros Administration’s Casa Manila and Fort Santiago, Mono 8,
Bahay Tsino, Destilleria Limtuaco, FDCP Cinematheque, Galleria Duemilla, UP
Manila’s The Museum of A History of Ideas, Avellana Gallery, 98B Collaboratory,
and NCCA Gallery.
There are so many to things to
see, experience and explore at the Pasinaya
since every possible venue at the CCP is utilized. Aside from the various
performances, there are also film screenings, art exhibits, Arts Market and a
bazaar as well.
As usual, my tips to maximize the
Pasinaya experience is to avail of the Fast Pass ballers for priority access to
performance venues. Have a plan B or C in place just in case that seats are
already filled up. Be on the lookout for special deals and promos like huge
discounts on tickets at upcoming productions by these resident companies and
various CCP publications that can be availed only at the Pasinaya.
For those who are from far away or even overseas, fret not
for one can still be at the Pasinaya through the CCP’s facebook page as the
Main Theater performances and the People’s
Gala have been streamed live in recent years and I expect that this year
will be no exception.
