Midwinter Mayhem
- January 25th, 2008 in Providence, RI -
3 hours of workshops with Tempest & Aradia
Workshop Descriptions (90 mins each):
ARADIA PRESENTS: Functional Fusion for Solo and Group Performance
Good Fusion vs Bad Fusion:Tips, Tricks, Tools and Versatile Combinations for Fusion Belly Dance. We will take established movement and theory and add a new twist for a modern and diverse audience. Alternative/modern music will be explored and variations of Belly Dance steps and combos will be adapted to the music with a focus on "being the music" instead of just dancing to it. Presence, intent and technical ability will come through your dance in a whole new way: the ideas and content discussed and drilled will plant seeds in the mind of the improv artist and the choreographer to deepen the dance experience for dancer and audience alike.This class is open to all levels.
TEMPEST PRESENTS: Dramatic Body Language for Gothic Bellydance - At the heart of Gothic Belly Dance is the ability to express deep emotions through the dance in a dramatic style. While in theory, this makes sense, understanding how to make this happen physically is another matter. How does one go about transferring matters of the heart, mind, and spirit into a corporeal expression? In this workshop, we learn to take regular belly dance movements and add Gothic accents to them, focusing on expressing emotion, intent, and power through our steps and presence. From facial expression to fingertips, we'll be dissecting the accents that give Gothic Belly Dance extra substance, drama, and excitement. You'll take home movement embellishments and flourishes to incorporate into your own style. This class is open to all levels.
DATE & TIME:
Friday, January 25th, 2008, 6-9pm

Pre-Registration: $35 for both workshops,
