Seventeenth International Conference on the Arts in Society

Abstract

Since the discovery of the talents of the Filipino on the international stage, hundreds of Filipino Overseas Performing Artists (OPA) have ventured into the spotlight. From hotel lounges, clubs, theaters, theme parks, and international cruises. The fundamental to being employed as a cruise ship entertainer is to have outstanding expertise in your field, skills, and talent in whatever genre the artist represents. The Philippines has a great deal to present by way of its cultural lexis such as dance, traditional arts, cuisine, music, visual arts and literature, film, and theatre arts as well. Performing artists, painters, sculptors, dancers and many more could bring honor to the country when officially presented to our foreign associates or impresarios in their countries. This study considers several Filipino artists who have performed efficiently in promoting the Philippines such as dance troupes, art exhibitors, and musical performers, part of these artists are the so-called Filipino Overseas Performing Artists who work abroad in different venues from theaters, hotels, theme parks, and other performance venues.
