Workshop Descriptions:
Integrating Tarot and dance as a spiritual practice - Sugati
Throughout history, the tarot has traveled from sacred oracle to sideshow attraction, and then back again to an introspective practice in which we can better know ourselves. Within this workshop we will encounter how our dance can be a healing practice, one that opens a channel from our bodies to our spirits, while still incorporating the mind. Within this relaxed environment we will use improvisational Middle Eastern-inspired dance to power a connection, forming a relationship between the movements that we’ve learned and drilled as dancers and the ancient art of reading the tarot. Revealing how powerful it can be for our bodies to meet and take part within our spirituality.

Circadian, finding your inner and outer rhythm - Katie Bertsche
Rhythms fill our lives, from our waking and sleeping, walking, eating, coming and going...tides, the seasons, day and night, our habits and instincts join us with all dancing living things. And of course, Rhythm is the heart of bellydance. We'll explore together different ways to hear rhythm in music, and how we can translate that into movement. Is the music fast? slow? syncopated? even? Do you express the rhythm in yourself or can you have a conversation with it? What do you do when there apparently is no rhythm...we'll have to make our own!

Pops and Locks Laced with Smoove Slink - Joy Herbst
Are you craving more slink peppered with some syncopated locks in your tribal fusion dancing?
In this class Joy will lead you through style defining drills and exercises to better toggle between snake-like movements
and pops and locks. Combinations will be taught integrating the techniques learned in class.

Free Rhythm Warmup with Chris Phillips
We'll spend some time warming up and going over basic middle eastern rhythms. All drummers, musicians and dancers are welcome to join in. Free.

Begintermediate Dumbek with Dwayne Green
Beginners and intermediate dumbek players will enjoy learning and embellishing basic rhythms with Dwayne.

Gathering of the Tribal Moon
Charter Oak Cultural Center
Sunday, September 30 at 7:30 p.m.
FREE

What do you feel when the moon is full? Extra hairy? A desire to swell with the rising tide? Illuminated with the urge to dance and make music and dance some more? Let the lunar rhythms guide the music and the motion making you move on this magnificent night.

The Tribe follows no specific dogma, we are coming together in what was once the oldest synagogue in Connecticut. It is an evening of merrymaking, pure and simple, dress outrageously, have a little wine, drum and dance and laugh and sing, my friends.

Drummers, Dancers, Musicians and Others will gather every full moon to participate in a truly tribal experience. We will start with basic Middle-Eastern rhythms to get the dancers moving and see where we go from there. Please bring instruments, the desire to dance or the enthusiasm to share in a tribal experience. Extra drums and other percussion will be available as well.

Please consider joining the tribe for updates and an open exchange of ideas for all facets of this event, http://tribes.tribe.net/gatheringofthetribalmooninhartford

Nomadic Summer '07!

RadicalBunnny — Tue, 12 Dec 2006 20:13:51 GMT

Hello,

I'm working on the calendar for Charter Oak and have found, what appears to be, a good date for tis year's NSS. I'm looking at June 23rd, which works well for Charter Oak. Does anyone see any conflicts at this point?

I'm talking with Carmine about bringing Djinn up to Hartford and doing a workshop or two. I'm also thinking it would be a good time to have a PURE workshop and performance (that evening and possibly a street action in the afternoon).

I'm looking for wish lists at this point. What dancers or other musicians do you think would be a good fit for performances or workshops?

Thank you, Chris

Middle Eastern Drum/World Music Workshop
Michael Beach - bandleader, vocalist, drummer and founder of Portland, Oregon’s Brothers of the Baladi will cover basic Ethnomusicology, instruction on several world percussion instruments (including Dumbek and Riq), and the art of playing for dancers or in an ensemble setting. $25 Pre-registration, $30 at the door.

Charter Oak Cultural Center
21 Charter Oak Avenue
Hartford, CT 06106
www.charteroakcenter.org
860.249.1207

The Workshop will cover :
Basic Ethnomusicology - the study of music, culture and instruments from around the world and how it all relates to our contemporary Western world. Special focus on Arabic, Turkish, Armenian, Persian, Greek and North African music.
Basic / Intermediate / Advanced demonstration and instruction on Doumbek/Arabic Tabla [Middle Eastern drum], Riq/Daff [Middle Eastern Tambourine], Def/Tar [Frame drums] and drum set [if available] OR with any drums you bring.
How to create and orchestrate your own drum/percussion/music ensemble.
How to make your own instruments and how to utilize and use the regular western instruments you already have.

Michael Beach founded Brothers of the Baladi in Yuma, AZ in 1975 as a backup band for Belly Dancers. Since then the Brothers filial bond has been the music that they perform, create and record. First known for their traditional Middle Eastern music and Belly Dance shows, the quintet now tastefully mixes traditional ethnic acoustic instruments [Oud, Saz, Kanoon, Arabiic Tabla, Zurna, Arghul, Davul, Riq & Def] with Guitar, Bass, Keyboards and Drumkit, vocals in seven languages [Arabic, Turkish, Armenian, Farsi, Spanish, French & English] and exotic rhythms with familiar grooves. The Brothers of the Baladi are named from the Arabic word baladi [bah-luh-dee] which means country, country folk and people. These five Americans fuse all the traditional ethnic music with the music of their homeland – Rock n’ Roll. After 30 years on the road and 10 CDs distributed nationally and internationally with Allegro Distribution – the Brothers continue as “ Ambassadors of Goodwill “ with their music.

Gathering of the Tribal Moon
Charter Oak Cultural Center
Friday, May 12 at 7:30 p.m.
FREE

What do you feel when the moon is full? Extra hairy? A desire to swell with the rising tide? Illuminated with the urge to dance and make music and dance some more? Let the lunar rhythms guide the music and the motion making you move on this magnificent night.

The Tribe follows no specific dogma, we are coming together in what was once the oldest synagogue in Connecticut. It is an evening of merrymaking, pure and simple, dress outrageously, have a little wine, drum and dance and laugh and sing, my friends.

Drummers, Dancers, Musicians and Others will gather every full moon to participate in a truly tribal experience. We will start with basic Middle-Eastern rhythms to get the dancers moving and see where we go from there. Please bring instruments, the desire to dance or the enthusiasm to share in a tribal experience. Extra drums and other percussion will be available as well.

If you so desire, bring an offering for the altar of the full moon.

Please consider joining the tribe for updates and an open exchange of ideas for all facets of this event, http://tribes.tribe.net/gatheringofthetribalmooninhartford
