Madal - 31st Annual SF Ethnic Dance Festival June 2009 - Parangal
Madal Prelude is a world premiere, inspired by Lumad dances. Lawin-Lawin is a Bagobo rite-of-passage dance performed by sons of the datu, or chieftan. The dance shows the maturation of an eagle (lawin) from egg to adulthood. As the eagle battles with strong mountain winds, he eventually finds his strength. Madal Taho/Madal Blelah is a T'boli dance portraying a mythical bird whose feathers contain the colors of all known birds. Note the beauty and careful dress of T'boli women—embroidered tops, tubular lewek skirts, hilot girdles, and hair in well-kept locks. Blit-B'laan is a courtship dance of the B'laan, imitating birds during mating season. The females scurry away, burying their heads under their wings, and the males enjoy the chase. The B'laan women wear elaborate blouses, necklaces, anklets, tiny bells, aromatic roots, and flowers. The men wear equally ornate jackets over tight-fitting trousers. In Makatod, a rite of passage from the Davao Mandayan, a young prince is born high by courtiers. The Mandaya dress uses distinctive block designs, line patterns, rickrack, and scrolls. Madal Finale, also a world premiere, is an original piece that affirms the communitys unity and distinct identities. www.worldartswest.org

Uzbekistan: Andizhan (Ethnic Dance Theatre)
This version of this Uzbeki men's dance was performed as part of EDT's Beyond the Crescent Moon show that debuted in the Fall of 2006 in Minneapolis, MN. In this traditional men's dance that recalls the Central Asian steppe, the men challenge each other around a campfire after the day's travel or shepherding work is done. Uzbeks were traditionally a nomadic people that inhabited the Central Asian steppe lands. Uzbeks were skilled horsemen and could be fierce, mounted warriors.
