<p>Tag-ani means “harvest season.”  </p>
<p>The Tag-ani Performing Arts Society performs in the bounty of the people. </p>
<p>To Tag-ani, every performance is a harvesting of works that inspire, animate and uplift artist and audience.     </p>
<h3>Founding</h3>
<p>In 2003, the Concerned Artists of the Philippines produced “Ang Babae sa Ating Panahon,” directed by Marili Fernandez-Ilagan and sponsored by the Cultural Center of the Philippines and the National Commission for Culture and the Arts.  </p>
<p>The production motivated the artists who were involved in it to band together into a theater group.  Eventually named Tag-ani, it has since chalked up a number of performances and training workshops in various events and communities.  </p>
<h3>Perspective on Culture, Society, and Artists’ Rights </h3>
<p>Tag-ani affirms that even as culture is bound by society, it must serve to reform and transform society.  That is the only way for theater and the arts to fully serve the interest of the people.  Beyond entertainment, theater and the arts must enlighten and rouse people to action. </p>
<p>Tag-ani is committed to a nationalist and people-oriented art; only such an art will bring the best in the Filipino artist and worker in the field of culture. Indeed, Filipino arts can only be world class if they first become a class for the Filipino people.</p>
<p>Tag-ani commits itself to safeguarding the welfare, and protecting and enriching the rights, of the Filipino artists and cultural workers. </p>
<p>At the heart of Tag-ani’s commitment is its adherence to the freedom of expression and promotion of artists’ labor rights and economic provision.</p>
<h3>Tag-ani Envisions:</h3>
<ul>
<li>
a society where the human potential, especially of the common folk, is allowed to grow to the fullest;<br />
a citizenry actually empowered to participate in governance and decision-making;</li>
<li>a nation of socially-conscious and progressive-minded citizens enjoying the fruits of their labors; sharing in the patrimony of the nation; basking in freedom, justice, peace and democracy;
</li>
<li>a sovereign government composed principally of the representatives of the productive sectors who actually work to create the wealth of the nation and who render services to the people; and whose purpose is national progress, not personal aggrandizement;</li>
<li>and a nation of artists creating works that enlighten where there is darkness, uplift where the spirit breaks down, and impel collective action when people need to act.
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Tag-ani Moves:</h3>
<ul>
<li>to create an eminent organization of performing artists &#8212; secure in the practice of their art &#8212; who are committed to serve the people by promoting critical thinking and values for long-ranging social change;</li>
<li>to become a haven for a national aesthetics where the Filipino heritage and its various cultural traditions are protected and kept dynamic; </li>
<li>to build and propagate a repertoire that is distinguished for its artistry and is responsive to the times; </li>
<li>and to promote international solidarity through exchanges, interactions and cooperative projects among the people’s artists of the world.</li>

<h4 id="filipino">Filipino Translation</h4>
<p>Tag-ani, ibig sabihin ay “panahon ng pag-aani.”    </p>
<p>Sa mayamang ani ng taumbayan nagtatanghal ang Tag-ani Performing Arts Society.  </p>
<p>Para sa Tag-ani, bawat pagtatanghal ng mga likhang-sining ay pag-aani ng inspirasyon, lakas at kalinawan para sa artista at manonood.      </p>
<h3>Pagtatatag </h3>
<p>Noong 2003,  itinanghal ng Concerned Artists of the Philippines ang “Ang Babae sa Ating Panahon,” sa direksyon ni Marili Fernandez-Ilagan at sa pagtataguyod ng Cultural Center of the Philippines at National Commission for Culture and the Arts.  </p>
<p>Pagkatapos, nahikayat ang mga artistang kalahok sa produksyon para magsama-sama sa isang grupong pantanghalan. Sa pangalang Tag-ani, marami na itong nagawang pagtatanghal at palihang pagsasanay sa iba’t ibang okasyon at komunidad.  </p>
<h3>Pananaw sa Kultura, Lipunan, at mga Karapatan ng Artista </h3>
<p>Para sa Tag-ani, kung ang kultura man ay nakapaloob sa lipunan, dapat itong magsilbi upang isaayos at baguhin ang lipunan. Iyon lamang ang paraan para ang dulaan at ang mga sining ay ganap na makapagsilbi sa interes ng taumbayan. Lagpas pa sa pang-aaliw, ang dulaan at mga sining ay dapat magbukas ng pag-iisip at magpakilos sa taumbayan.  </p>
<p>Ang Tag-ani ay nasa panig ng makabayan at makamasang sining; tanging ang ganitong sining lamang ang makapagluluwal ng pinakamagaling sa artistang Pilipino at manggagawang pangkultura. Kung hindi muna sila magiging pampilipino sa katuturan, hindi sila magiging pandaigdig sa kahusayan. </p>
<p>Naninindigan ang Tag-ani sa pangangalaga at pagpapayaman ng kapakanan at mga karapatan ng mga artistang Pilipino at manggagawang pangkultura.  </p>
<p>Nasa sinapupunan ng ganitong komitment ng Tag-ani  ang pagtataguyod ng kalayaan sa pamamahayag at pagsusulong ng mga karapatan sa paggawa at kabuhayan ng mga artista.</p>
<h3>Tinatanaw ng Tag-ani ang:</h3>
<ul>
<li>isang lipunang bukas upang ang potensyal sa pagkatao, laluna ng karaniwang masa, ay ganap na yumabong;
</li>
<li>isang pamayanang tunay na maykapangyarihan sa pamamahala at pagpapasya;</li>
<li>isang bansa ng mga mamamayang mulat at progresibo; at nagtatamasa ng bunga ng kanilang paggawa; nakikinabang sa patrimonya ng bansa; maligaya sa kalayaan, katarungan, kapayapaan at demokrasya;
</li>
<li>isang soberanong pamahalaan na binubuo sa kalakhan ng kinatawan ng mga produktibong sektor na siyang tunay na lumilikha ng yaman ng bansa at nagseserbisyo sa bayan; na ang layunin ay pambansang kaunlaran, hindi personal na katusuhan; at </li>
<li>isang bansa ng mga artistang lumilikha ng sining na nagbibigay-liwanag kung saan madilim, nagpapalakas kung may panghihina, at nang-uudyok ng sama-samang pagkilos kung ang bayan ay kailangang kumilos.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Kumikilos ang Tag-ani para:</h3>
<ul>
<li>makabuo ng isang natatanging organisasyon ng mga artista sa pagtatanghal – tiyak sa kanilang paggawa, na naninindigang maglilingkod sa sambayanan sa pamamagitan ng pagtataguyod ng kritikal na pag-iisip at kaugalian ukol sa pangmatagalang pagbabagong panlipunan; </li>
<li>maging lunduyan ng isang pambansang estetika, na nangangalaga at nagpapaunlad sa kalinangang Pilipino at sa iba’t iba nitong tradisyong pangkultura; </li>
<li>makabuo at makapagpalaganap ng isang repertoryang mamumukod sa kasiningan at tumutugon sa panahon; at</li>
