  • In Flight: Contemporizing Winged Motifs in Philippine
    IN FLIGHT: CONTEMPORIZING WINGED MOTIFS IN PHILIPPINE FOLK DANCE FOR THE CANADIAN STAGE PAULO PEREZ ALCEDO A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF FINE ARTS GRADUATE PROGRAM IN DANCE YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTRARIO APRIL 2021 © PAULO ALCEDO, 2021 ii Abstract This thesis is a choreographic and filmic exploration of contemporizing selected Philippine folk dances that have winged motifs. It examines dance rehearsals as a site for ethnographic research. Metaphors of birth, growth, life, immigration, struggle, failures, resilience, and hope will be manifested and expressed. The output of this research is a dance film. Titled In Flight, it critically responds to themes of isolation, limited movements, the precarity of flight, restricted travel, acts of transferring from one place to another, and the ways in which dance artists adapt to quarantined movements of life. Its aim is to identify an increased knowledge of natural movement of the avian species paralleled or in discussion with how humans translate the naturally occurring movements of birds into human expressions and dances. Keywords: Philippine folk dance, contemporizing traditional dances, winged motifs, avian species, COVID-19, isolation, precarity of flight, dance ethnography iii Dedication This thesis is dedicated to my late sister Lara. Thank you for sparking my love of dance. Thank you for your unconditional love even if it was cut short. I wish you were here to bear witness to my own flight as a dancer and now a choreographer. I also dedicate this thesis to my brother Patrick who paved the way for me to pursue my graduate studies.

    Being, Belonging, and Connecting: Filipino Youths’ Narratives of Place(s) and Wellbeing in Hawai′i Stella M. Gran-O’Donnell A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2016 Reading Committee: Karina L. Walters, Chair Tessa A. Evans Campbell Lynne C. Manzo Program Authorized to Offer Degree: School of Social Work © Copyright 2016 Stella M. Gran-O’Donnell University of Washington Abstract Being, Belonging, and Connecting: Filipino Youths’ Narratives of Place(s) and Wellbeing in Hawai′i Stella M. Gran-O’Donnell Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Karina L. Walters School of Social Work Background: Environmental climate change is an urgent concern for Pacific Islanders with significant impact on place along with bio-psycho-social-cultural-spiritual influences likely to affect communities’ wellbeing. Future generations will bear the burden. Indigenous scholars have begun to address climate-based place changes; however, immigrant Pacific Islander populations have been ignored. Although Filipinos are one of the fastest growing U.S. populations, the second largest immigrant group, and second largest ethnic group in Hawai’i, lack of understanding regarding their physical health and mental wellbeing remains, especially among youth. This dissertation addresses these gaps. In response to Kemp’s (2011) and Jack’s (2010, 2015) impassioned calls for the social work profession to advance place research among vulnerable populations, this qualitative study examined Filipino youths’ (15-23) experiences of place(s) and geographic environment(s) in Hawai′i. Drawing on Indigenous worldviews, this study examined how youth narrate their sense of place, place attachments, ethnic/cultural identity/ies, belonging, connectedness to ancestral (Philippines) and contemporary homelands (Hawai’i), virtual environment(s), and how these places connect to wellbeing.

    THE PIANO COMPOSITIONAL STYLE OF LUCRECIA ROCES KASILAG D.M.A. DOCUMENT Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Musical Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Caroline Besana Salido, B.M., M.M. ***** The Ohio State University 2002 Document Committee: Approved by Professor Steven Glaser, Adviser Professor Arved Ashby Professor Kenneth Williams _______________ Document Adviser School of Music Copyright by Caroline Besana Salido 2002 ABSTRACT Often alluded to as the “First Lady of Philippine Music,” Lucrecia “King” Roces Kasilag, born in San Fernando, La Union, Philippines, on August 31, 1918, holds numerous national and international leadership roles as composer, educator, administrator, and researcher. Kasilag has composed more than 250 works covering most genres including orchestra, chamber, organ, piano, vocal, sacred, operetta, dance, theatre, electronic and incidental music. She is a nationally acclaimed composer and artist in the Philippines. However, most of her works are largely unpublished and difficult to retrieve for use in the academic, as well as in the performance community. Therefore, her contributions are not well known in the Western world to the degree they deserve. This document intends to provide a brief historical background of Philippine music, a biography of Kasilag describing her work and accomplishments, a list of her compositions and her contributions as a composer in ii today’s musical world. The writer will present detailed analyses of selected piano works for their sound, texture, harmony, melody, rhythm and form. The writer will also examine Western and Eastern influences within these piano works, reflecting Kasilag’s classic and romantic orientation with some use of twentieth-century techniques.

  • History of Barong Tagalog
    History of Barong Tagalog BARONG TAGALOG There’s really something about the Barong Tagalog that appeals to unassuming, low- key personalities with a penchant for subtle elegance. Needless to say, the Barong Tagalog not only boasts of a rich, ancient craft. It speaks volumes of a heritage that spanned decades of multi-cultural influences and raw patriotism. This is probably why it is naturally worn with pride and dignity. For whenever you don a barong tagalog, you are not just carrying a style, you are wearing a legacy.Here are snippets of little known facts about the Barong Tagalog…how it has come to be the Philippine National Costume and how it evolved from the simple Baro to the elaborate handicraft that it is now: • Before the Spaniards’ discovery of Philippines, the Tagalogs of Luzon wore baro – a sleeveless doublet of rough cotton extending slightly below the waist. It is collarless and opens in the front. It is worn with a piece of cotton cloth covering the men’s loins and extending to mid thigh. • During the 18th century, the handkerchief - usually made of colored silk and inspired with European cravat - was introduced as an accessory to the baro. And while it was a more popular belief that barongs were worn loose and not tucked in because it looked better, the real reason was to show off the hand woven embroidery and sheer fabric for everyone to admire. • The Spaniards introduced the dressy standing collar shirt to the baro and allowed only the Ilustrados – the rich and landed Filipino families- to wear them with shoes and hats.
