dance for charity!

labalianne — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 22:30:09 GMT

I got this from a fellow troupemate. Passing it on to any dancers wanting to dance for a great cause! If interested email justzheng@hotmail.com

I mentioned to you about a charity concert that I am co-organizing. Can you check with your dance group and any other performance groups you know, and see if they would be interested in joining the concert? The event will be on the afternoon of Sunday June 29, held in the Luther Burbank Park on Mercer Island, with BBQ, silent auction and a FREE CONCERT. All money raised will go toward building a new school in Ghana. You can see our website for more details: http://seattletoghana.info

We are looking for musicians and performance groups that are willing to perform for free, in exchange for audience exposure. We expect to have up to 400 people attending so it will be an exciting occasion! I would love for the concert to be multi-cultural, so your dance group will be a great addition. Please let me know soon if it will work!

On another note, if you can help us get any auction items (including “experience” items and gift certificates from stores/restaurants/services), we will really appreciate that as well. It’s all for a great cause and donors also get exposure for their businesses.

Thanks, and talk to you soon!

Workshop w/Leila Haddad of France - March 16

Middle East Arts — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 19:00:16 GMT

Three hours of oriental combinations and folkloric dance with Leila Haddad!!!

When: March 16
What time: Noon to 3pm
Where: Every Body Health & Fitness
2609 S Jackson Street / Seattle WA
How much: $50 advance / $55 at the door

Middle East Arts International presents a workshop with the internationally acclaimed folkloric dancer Leila Haddad, born in Tunisia. At the age of eighteen, Haddad moved to France. Soon she moved to London to pursue a PhD in English, however, it was theatre and dance that truly captivated her. Rather than continue on the PhD track, she followed her passion for Oriental dance. Out of rebellion, and then for the challenge, Haddad devoted herself to the dance. This dance, inhabiting her like a secret and wonderful flower is but a song of a subtle beauty lying in the principle of unusual things and melting into the body.

Death Posture Presents FLOOD Jan 19th!!!! Seattle

Briana — Sun, 06 Jan 2008 18:06:06 GMT

Death Posture presents a new butoh performance work, FLOOD, at the Chapel performance space at Good Shepherd Center in Wallingford on January 19th.

Dancer Vanessa Skantze lived in New Orleans for over a decade, where she cofounded the ensemble Death Posture in 2001. Less than a year after her arrival in Seattle to join her dance partner Alex Ruhe, Katrina fell upon the Gulf Coast. Vanessa began conceiving of this piece after her first return to New Orleans in July 2006. FLOOD journeys through invocations of the spirit of the land and the city of New Orleans with all her revelry and anguish, as well as imagery drawn from the catastrophe of the storm and the wrenching loss and devastation in its wake. FLOOD is danced by Death Posture (Vanessa Skantze and Alex Ruhe), Sheri Brown, Helen Thorsen, Azrael, and Lin Lucas. Original score is created by celadon and natazatan of In the Deep Museum along with percussionist Dean Moore.

Saturday, January 19th at 8 p.m.

The Chapel performance space at Good Shepherd Center in Wallingford
4649 Sunnyside Ave. N. near 50th

Martha Graham Dance Company @ The Moore Theatre 9/29

Helenwheels — Sat, 29 Sep 2007 07:59:12 GMT

Seattle Theatre Group presents
A Moore Theatre Centennial Celebration

Martha Graham Dance Company performs masterpieces, some danced at The Moore in 1936...

Recognized as one of the great pioneers of modern dance, Martha Graham lives today in the vibrant performances of the MARTHA GRAHAM DANCE COMPANY. As part of its 80th Anniversary Season, the Company presents a selection of historic works including Graham's early solo works Lamentation (1930) and Satyric Festival Song (1932) performed at the theatre in 1936. These works capture the essence of the early days of the MARTHA GRAHAM DANCE COMPANY and pay homage to their founder whose choreography revolutionized the world of dance.

The evening's repertoire is rounded out by the solo Serenata Morisca (1916), the eleven women cast of Sketches from 'Chronicle' (1936), the lyrical Graham classic Diversion of Angels (1948) and Ardent Song (Redux) (2007), a newly re-imagined version of a lost Graham work. The early solo works showcased vividly recall the MARTHA GRAHAM DANCE COMPANY's 1936 Moore Theatre engagement.

In more than 180 works created during a career of over 50 years, Graham illuminated the depth of human emotion through stylized movements that were intense, angular, direct and primal. In her lifetime, Graham freed the art of dance by providing a new dance language and new concepts while revolutionizing the stage and music with her creative perfectionism.

"Tribal Fest 8 Instructor" Lava's next workshop (Vancouver BC) ...

"Zills dat Killz" - Combos for Layering Practice

Sunday Oct.14/07
5:30 - 9:00pm
Scotia Dance Ctr. - 677 Davie St. (downtown Vancouver)

Finger Cymbals are not only a favorite accompaniment for bellydance, but also an excellent learning/practice tool for your timing, rhythm and musical instincts. Whether you choose to use finger cymbals in a performance setting or not, practicing finger cymbals will undoubtedly make you a better dancer by becoming connected with your music on another physical level.
Finger Cymbal Drilling techniques for a place to start for beginners and continued practice for those with some finger cymbal experience.
Progressive drilling with introduction to layering movement with finger cymbals (adding another rhythm of focus...). Plus, 2 short combos to keep developing your practice.
Open to all levels.

Seattle Nightlife

petermadril — Wed, 15 Aug 2007 20:38:09 GMT

This Thursday the Seattle City Council will be meeting to discuss the city's nightlife policies and possibly vote on a limited license for clubs that the city could later revoke if the club does not meet their requirements. In plain english, any club that is required to purchase this license can be shut down and put out of business at any time the city and our favorite mayor decide so.

The council will be taking public comment at this meeting.

It's important for us as a community to represent our interests and show that there is a large base of constituents willing to stand up for their rights and their way of life. There will be plenty of pressure there from the uber-rich condo owners who think they can buy homes in a club district and shut them down with noise complaints willing to make campaign donations to get their way. We have to show that we are just as powerful a force and that we ARE paying attention. Please come down and let your voice be heard, if only by being present.

The meeting will take place this Thursday August 16th at 6pm in West Seattle at the Highpoint Community Center, 6920 34th Ave. SW.

More details available at the Seattle City Council site:
http://www.seattle.gov/council/newsdetail.asp?ID=7618&Dept=28

Please repost this, and thanks for your support.

Seeking models for Soma work (structural integration)

kiel — Fri, 27 Jul 2007 18:53:10 GMT

Family and Friends,

I am attending the Soma Institute of Neuromuscular Integration, studying a specific style of bodywork much different than other massage modalities. The program begins in late September 2007 and goes into February 2008. For the program I will need 4 models to work with as we go through the 11 session series together. I am hoping to have 4 committed models by the first week of September.
The commitment requires the model to attend every session for eleven weeks at the Soma Institute campus, with a $50 fee for each session.
Each model will keep the same scheduled time every week, the times offered are;
Saturdays: 10 am 1pm 330 pm
Sundays: 1 pm
Although the cost, time, and distance can seem like a hindrance, I assure you this opportunity is priceless for anyone interested in learning more about their body and the healing arts. The school is located 45 min. from Seattle in Buckley, at the foot of Mt. Rainier.
“Soma” is not massage. We are in the field of Structural Integration which includes Rolfing & Hellerwork. Structural Integration has a specific intent to aid the body back into an aligned position in relation to gravity. This is achieved by following a designed “recipe” in an 11 session series that helps guide the muscle and fascia from a place of past patterns of trauma and injury back to the naturally intended positioning. Photographs of before and after prove every time that the work “sticks” and the body moves into alignment even after the work has completed. As a model you will see changes in your body. And with the physical changes comes the potential for a host of life changes.
I will take the first 4 people who commit. If you yourself are not interested, or cannot work it, It would be of great help if you will pass it on to anyone who might really benefit from this opportunity. People who have not recieved 10-session work and/or those whom have chronic issues of any sort (scoliosis, asthma, arthritis, allergies, past injuries) are put at the top of the list because this is where we will most likely witness the greatest affects. This "list" though does not exclude anyone either.

Write to Bumbershoot: Support Gogol Bordello and DeVotchKa!

ABunni — Fri, 13 Jul 2007 23:19:44 GMT

Hey friends,

You might already know that I'm a big environmentalist and usually rally behind much more pressing issues, but today I'm taking a break from that to focus on something truly tragic...

I just found out Bumbershoot scheduled Gogol Bordello and DeVotchKa at the SAME TIME! IDIOTS! So to combat it, please send the following message to their email address *and* post it as a myspace comment:

email: info@onereel.org
myspace: http://www.myspace.com/bumbershoot

text:
---------------------

Dear Bumbershoot Schedule Master,

I am HUGELY DISAPPOINTED by your decision to schedule DeVotchKa and Gogol Bordello in competitive time slots, on Saturday evening September 1st. Please reconsider! They share a large fan base who would greatly appreciate back-to-back performances from these two excellent bands. Neither comes to Seattle frequently and due to your contract limitations will not be allowed to play another venue in town during this trip. I know several people who would not otherwise go to the festival, but who are attending Bumbershoot this year specifically to see these two bands. At least a few of them are now reconsidering their attendance.

Please RESCHEDULE DeVotchKa and Gogol Bordello for the SAME STAGE so their fans can enjoy both of these rare and most excellent performances.

---------------------

Thanks!
Amy

Seattle Bollywood Dance Classes!

Andrea — Sun, 29 Apr 2007 05:16:13 GMT

Do you adore the bollywood dance sensation that has swept the globe? Have you always wanted to learn the intricate movements, dramatic facial expressions, and graceful stylings such as those of Aishwarya Rai and Madhuri Dixit? Come join our Bollywood class in the Seattle U-District!!!

Our instructor is the phenomenal Nalini, dance extraordinaire. She has studied and taught the Indian classical dance Kathak and Bollywood, her passion, since she was 13 years old. She is also a famous award-winning bellydancer, with a fine arts degree in dance choreography.

Her classes are challenging, inspiring, tons of fun, and focused on making your dancing all it can be. As her students, we are her biggest fans, her friends, and we welcome any to come and try it out! Don't be mislead - it's hard! When I first started, I wasn't sure I could do it. But it doesn't take long before you are jumping, gesturing, head-bobbling away to the sounds of Kajra Re, Choli Ke Peeche, and many other classics.

The class is listed as a performance class because many of the students wish to perform the dances we are learning as a group, however, performance is not a requirement to enter the class. The class is also currently running on Friday nights, however, we are looking into starting another class on a different day. If interested, please see Nalni's website for more information: www.nalinidance.com/ or email me at a_briggs2@yahoo.com. You can also view her page on Tribe! people.tribe.net/nalinidance

This is a new festival being put on by a consortium of organizations to raise money for the Solstice Parade and bring awareness of community issues. Beer Garden and performance stages. Delilah, and the Billion Bellies will be featured after the Solstice Pageant on the main Stage with Music by “House of Tarab” 6-7 PM !!! So our parade class will also have aspects of this project as well.

About the Parade;

It’s fun! It’s an achievement, It’s where dancers work together for a larger vision. I have been doing this for about 17-18 years now. Each year women see our beauty, joy and pride in the parade and are inspired to start belly dancing the next week. 2 years ago 15 year old Nicole saw us and got inspired to be in the parade the next year. She is 17 years old now and has been a featured dancer at Costa's and Taki’s Mad Greek and she teaches at her high school!
See Nicole in 2006 parade’s Billion belly March

Punk Rock Yoga and Belly Dance April 27

Kimberlee — Fri, 06 Apr 2007 16:03:13 GMT

Punk Rock Yoga and Belly Dance - Special one-time class April 27, 6:30 pm

We are thrilled to present a fun experimental class for our students. Belly dance is a great way to gain flexibility in the hips, stretch and strengthen the lower back and develop greater body alignment awareness. It's also one the best ways to learn how to engage core muscles. This class is a great mix of core-focused yoga and a basic introduction to tribal style belly dance. We also have a special treat with some fun alternative music. All are welcome to come - especially beginners.

American Tribal Style Bellydance (ATS) is elegant and graceful, celebrating the strength and beauty of the body, regardless of age and size. Tribal Style is largely improvisational, using simple steps and gestures in a repetitive fashion, building on the music and the interaction between the dancers. Dancers working together in cooperation; a group focused on presenting a dance as one entity.

Zu Leika, Yoga Instructor: When Zu isn't traveling to Mexico or practicing with one of her three bands, she's teaching Viniyoga Yoga. Breath and movement are linked together as a way to move the body and quiet the mind. In Viniyoga, students are taught that the breath should actually lead the body into and out of each posture. Viniyoga is less concerned with arduous precise exercises than with developing a balanced and appropriate practice for each student.

Katrina, Belly Dance Instructor: Katrina has studied American Tribal Belly Dance since 1999. She started in Chicago with Taj, and Stephanie Barto of Read My Hips. After moving back to Seattle she danced with Christina Larson as the tribal duo, Diatribe (Seattle's 1st ATS Troupe). Diatribe introduced ATS to Seattle live at the Lava Lounge, various parties and the Pyramid Restaurant in Honolulu. Later she joined Troupe Hipnotica for regular performances at the Baltic Room and various other locations. One of her final performances with Troupe Hipnotica was at the Folk Life Festival. She is a Licensed Massage Practitioner, Ayurvedic Body Worker, and Postpartum Doula. In addition, she is certified in General Skills by Carolena Nericcio of Fat Chance Belly Dance.

About Cafe Ibex:
Cafe Ibex is working hard to meet our needs for Music
and Dance performances. They have a nice intimate back
room with great dance floor, inexpensive good food,
and the service well....they are trying... so we will
give it another shot! In an effort to reduce the
language barrier/ confusion we have limited the menu
to a meat and vegi or vegetarian plate . Last time we
performed they had a water pipe explode in the kitchen
which really slowed thing down. So we apologize to
anyone who had less than prompt service.
