Dance ethnologist Peter Paul De Guzman and ethnomusicologist Bernard Ellorin, Ph.D., will be giving a four-hour workshop on music and dances from the Muslim Societies of the Southern Philippines. This hands-on participatory workshop will focus on the Maranao and Sama-Tausug known for their rich dance and music vocabulary rooted in living traditions that are celebratory in nature. Both artist-scholars bring a wealth of information from intensive field research with native practitioners that will be shared with the Ann Arbor community.
