DESCRIPTION:What is an intercultural arts performer? How does he/she inter
 act in the field as a researcher? After exploring the identity of an inter
 cultural arts performer and examining the evolving relationship of music p
 erformance and academia throughout the 20th century\, this talk will focus
  on the dual identity of the performer as researcher in the field. Using t
 he case study of a year-long fieldwork period in Mallorca and drawing upon
  relevant ethnomusicological and anthropological literature\, I shall exam
 ine the insider/outsider dichotomy and endeavour to throw new light on how
  interculturality can be an advantage for field-based research. I shall al
 so explore how research can be considered as performance\, reinforcing the
  identity of the performer-researcher for the local residents.\n\n*Cassand
 re Balosso-Bardin* is currently completing her PhD in ethnomusicology at S
 OAS\, University of London. She is focusing on the anthropology of the xer
 emies\, the Mallorcan bagpipes. Cassandre is the founder of the Internatio
 nal Bagpipe Organisation and initiated the International Bagpipe Conferenc
 es in 2012\, featuring on national and international news. A graduate teac
 hing assistant at SOAS since 2012\, she has given talks for different univ
 ersities in France and in the UK. Cassandre also studied early music perfo
 rmance on the recorder at the conservatoire with Jean-Pierre Nicolas (Orsa
 y\, France).  After discovering bagpipes in her late teens\, she became in
 creasingly involved with folk and world music. For the last 10 years she h
 as been involved in many multi-cultural projects. She is a regular member 
 of several bands including Amaraterra\, World Scatterlings\, Olcay Bayir\,
  a new project with Senegalese kora player Kadialy Kouyate and the upcomin
 g transglobal roots fusion band Världens Band.\n
