Abstract

In this paper the author examines the Balkan performing group Sveti Ivan from different identity perspectives, and shows how performances of music and dance can play important roles in how individuals perceive themselves and others. The experiences of the performers in Sveti Ivan are discussed, with particular reference to the significance of singing, dancing, and costuming as they relate to perceptions of Balkan identities, as well as “outside” identities.
