Workshop Descriptions
Healing
Sounds -- with Judy Piazza
Explore dimensions of sound used for healing by indigenous people throughout
history in many cultures of the world.
Use of voice, rhythms, and timbrel qualities of various hand instruments
will be experienced, with the elements of Earth, Air, Fire, and Water
expressed through sound. We'll explore the potential of the voice to
effect our health on all levels, learn simple ways of opening the voice
up to its full power, and connect our exploration of elemental sounds
to movement, dance, and expression through the body.
Come with an openness to experience the beauty and power of sound in
unique and uplifting ways ... you will leave a changed person.
Bring hand percussion instruments such as rattles, bells, singing
bowls, clave, etc. |
Tribal
Dance -- with Suzanne Gerard and Gaiananda
Tribal Belly Dance is a fusion of dances from many cultures including
East Indian, North African, Middle Eastern, Flamenco and Gypsy dances.
It is danced in a group and the movements are based on a series of improvisational
cues.
Class participants will learn form and style, specific Tribal dance
movements and how to perform these dances as a cohesive group. You will
learn how to use the groupÕs collective movement and intuition to cue
or follow and the importance of using spatial relationships to transition
in and out of group formations.
All levels, beginning to advanced welcome and encouraged.
Dancing will be done to Middle Eastern rhythms. Drummers interested
in drumming for the dancers will be honored, although they should have
a Basic knowledge of common Middle Eastern rhythms, or can pick up and
hold new rhythms quickly.
Bring a full skirt and a hip belt if you have them. A limited number
will be provided.
