{"title":"Sining Kambayoka Ensemble’s <i>Bayok</i> : Connecting Philippines and Canada in Teaching Voice and Performance","authors":"Dennis Gupa, Pepito Sumayan, Rosa Zerrudo","doi":"10.1080/23268263.2023.2262196","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/23268263.2023.2262196","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTHow does one mitigate the misappropriations of bayok in performance projects and voice training? Interweaving various positionalities and praxes of performance pedagogy and creation using the Meranaw bayok, this essay instigates a conversation on a decolonial and ethical appropriation of Indigenous voice style within the Philippines and Canada that seeks to connect various intercultural pedagogic and theatre praxes. By building a discourse on entwining the Philippine bayok in our theatre creation and voice training, the authors deploy a shared positionality and autoethnographic inquiry as critical approach of intersubjectivity, collaboration, and historical contextualization as interventions to misappropriation and other appropriative acts of Indigenous performance forms. In doing such, the authors enmesh three frameworks to cultivate a nascent but ongoing practice of decolonizing cultural appropriation through historical grounding, social-political contextualization, and informed collaboration. In shaping a discourse on ethical appropriation of bayok, the authors engage intercultural methods and predispositions of using bayok in teaching and performing theatrical projects while tackling certain socio-political goals like peace building, climate justice, and other global issues with self-reflexivity and collaboration.KEYWORDS: Bayokvoice genreSining KambayokaPhilippinesCanada AcknowledgmentsWe would like to express our gratitude to Dr. Reagan Maiquez, Dr. Dada Docot, Prof. Bajo Zaldua, Clarissa Mijares, Meranaw culture bearers, and the people of Mindanao for their generosity in helping us better our work towards decolonization.

As the second largest island in the country, it continues to attract migrants and settlers from two other large islands of the Philippines: Luzon and the Visayas.2. In the Philippines, the Indigenous peoples who are first settlers of Mindanao are also known as the lumads.3. In this YouTube video, an elder recites fragments of Darangen. The elder is the uncle of Pepito. This pre-colonial epic has 72,000 lines which narrates the heroic deeds of its characters and evokes the dynamic customary laws of the Meranaw.

A sample rendition of a bayok performance included as one of the tracks in Gifts from the Past recorded in 1996 by Ode Record and collected by Philippine Traditional Band.
