“UNDERBELLY”
(A YEAR IN THE LIFE OF DANCER PRINCESS FARHANA)
WEST COAST PREMIERE SCREENING !
THURSDAY, MAY 15, 2008, 7:30PM
“Underbelly”, a feature-length documentary by award-winning director Steve Balderson, will make its West Coast Premiere Thursday, May 15, 2008 at Tribal Fest!
Providing the viewer with a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the world of contemporary American belly dance, as well as one woman’s personal journey, “Underbelly” traces a year in the life of international star Princess Farhana. Shot on locations across the globe (including loads of footage from Tribal Fest 2007). “Underbelly” is as insightful, inspirational and educational as it is raunchy and hilarious! It reflects the view from the stage and the personal lives of the dancers, while covering the dance itself - how it enriches and heals lives - and addresses the raging controversy Princess Farhana generated by pioneering the fusion of belly dance with classic burlesque.
Candid interviews with stars of the field such as Kajira Djoumahna, Samantha Riggs, Onca O’Leary, Rachel Brice, Lee Ali, Rachel Lazarus Soto, Marta Schill, Politti Ashcraft, Blume Bauer and John Compton bump up against the opinions of students and hobbyists. Outrageous differences in opinion are offered by belly dance purists and innovators alike, as well as burlesque stars like Miss Dirty Martini, Jo Weldon and Kate Valentine. Performances by Princess Farhana, comedian/dancer Margaret Cho, Blacksheep Belly Dance, Rachel Brice, Jim Boz , Tempest, illuminate the range of Oriental dance styles, the relationship between burlesque and belly dance, and how each artist puts a personal signature on the world’s oldest dance, as it’s performed today.
Tribal Fest 8 presents The West Coast Premiere of:
“Underbelly: A Year In The Life Of Dancer Princess Farhana”
Thursday, May 15, 2008
Sebastopol Community Center, Main Hall

SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
“Holds nothing back!”
FILM THREAT
“UNDERBELLY is so well done and feels so complete that it almost transcends the subject matter and becomes a documentary about passion…an unexpected source of inspiration!”
FRANTIK MAGAZINE
“In this eccentric and wonderful documentary film by Steve Balderson, Underbelly captures the essence of Princess Farhana and the underground, taboo world of belly dancing…”
BELLY DANCE TV
“This story - and the people in it - represents an intriguing part of our modern culture. "Underbelly" is an artfully crafted documentary.”

Amara will be teaching 2 workshops in San Diego
May 4
12:30-2:30
Workshop I - Dynamic Combinations for Any Kind of Music
Amara will drill a series of short combinations focusing on strength, flexibility, balance, isolation, and layering. Then we will rework the combinations by changing their speed, size, and quality (gooey, sharp, and shimmies) in order to assist in our visual presentation of any kind of music.
These combinations and exercises can be applied to create both choreographies and improvisations.
2:45-4:45
Workshop II - Fusion Techniques
Amara takes a unique approach to this emerging form as she presents techniques and tools on how to create Fusion with ANY dance form. Learn the differences between sequential and simultaneous fusion concepts, explore where to find various dance elements to fuse, and discuss issues of when and why to fuse.
Fusion is a great way to add to your current vocabulary, foster creativity, and push your dancing to new heights.
This workshop is appropriate for all levels and all dance forms.

ARAB DRUM WORKSHOPS "SAIDI, SAUDI, SUDASI" (SSS): Sunday
1pm - 3pm, $25 at door only.
Students may bring their Arabic Tabla, Dumbek, Darabuka, Riqq, Duff, Muzhar or Frame drum. Karim will teach these three dynamic
rhythms, emphasizing the Arab technique of double off-hand taks and running method. Students will learn how these rhythms propel
specific dance styles from around the Arab world. Karim engages all levels from advanced beginner (someone with basic skills) to advanced intermediate.
Every level will be adequately challenged and will benefit from the ensemble approach.
---SAIDI (Southern Egyptian) is used for cane dance, ghawazee, pop and folk music. Karim will teach a four part Saidi with emphasis on the empty first beat, and slow yet bubbling tempo.
---SAUDI (Arabian Peninsula) is used for "Khaliji" urban and popular folk music. Karim will teach the polyrhythmic multipart version that illustrates the Afro-Indo influence.
---SUDASI (Lebanese and Palestinian) is used for Dabka unisex line dance. Karim will teach this unique yet common 6/4 rhythm with variations to accent stomp choreographies.
RIQQ (ARAB TAMBOURINE): : Sunday 3:30pm - 5:30pm, $25 at door only.
The "Riqq" tambourine is the lead percussion instrument in the Arabic orchestra and classical ensemble. It is played with the fingers on
both the skin and the cymbals. The technique calls for three different holding positions and techniques. In addition to Arabic music, these
instruments are widely used in Turkish, Iranian, Balkan, Gypsy and Mediterranean music. Students will learn technique, stamina, rhythmic
repertoire and various ethnic styles.
Karim Nagi is recognized as one of the foremost performers of the Arabic style Riqq in the USA. He has performed Riqq with the Sharq
Ensemble, Chicago Oriental Ensemble, Boston Camerata, and Simon Shaheen. He has taught Riqq at the New England Conservatory, Tufts University, and Arabic Music Retreat and the Heartland Seminar on Arab Music. He has authored a comprehensive Instructional Riqq
DVD www.riqqdvd.com
