Amara will cover proper warmup and cool down practices and stretching and fascia release methods to keep our bodies healthy. How to check in with our body to prevent injuries and translate movements so they work right now. Basic nutrition to keep our energy going. Pacing to sustain our energy. And managing expectations to keep our minds and spirits balanced. Our goal by the end of the week is to feel inspired and ready to go. So, let’s do this! Skill Levels: All Levels Workshop Title: Let’s Talk about Swords Date/Time: Thursday, June 24, 2021, 7-9pm Central Time Workshop Description: I have to say, I love performing with a sword. I dance with it all the time. But… that doesn’t stop me from acknowledging that I feel conflicted about handling an item of violence as a dance prop. So, let us take a moment and ponder how and why we use swords in American Middle Eastern dance. What do we know about how artists wield swords in the MENAHT (Middle Eastern, North Africa, Hellenic, and Turkish) region? What do we know about its history in the USA? What is your relationship with it? We’ll discuss the sword’s legacy and how we deploy it in our personal dance. Then we’ll shift our exploration into a creative dance space. I’ll guide us through tasks and exercises to gently move around and hold this space of tension. These will then lead us to take the first steps to create a sword dance based in this friction. Having a sword or experience with a sword is recommended, but not necessary. But bringing a curious and kind mind is necessary. Skill Levels: All Levels Amara Biography Amara, PhD, is known for her American belly dance style and as a leading innovator in experimental Middle Eastern dance.

They are mainly found in Djelfa, Bou Saâda, M'Sila, Biskra, as well as in the province of Ghardaïa. Although they may come from the Banu Hilal of Hejaz, they also have Amazigh roots, like most North Africans. Algerian dancers from the Ouled Nayl tribe have fascinated and inspired the West for over a century and were known around the world through numerous Western stories, Orientalist paintings and a large number of colonial postcards. Over the past 50 years, their dance traditions have faded, in part because the West could not recognize that there was a difference between prostitution as a profession and the Algerian tradition that gave young Nayliyat temporary freedom. Most of the women of the Ouled Nail tribe have been trained in the art of dance since their childhood. The practice of leaving their ancestral home and settling in a nearby desert town. This Nayli tradition began with little girls learning the dance from their mother; at puberty, the young girl left her home village to go to other oases to start a professional dancer life while traveling and performing. These dancers, being paid by jewelry, led a life of courtesans. When they had enough money, they would return to their oasis, find a husband, finish their professional career, and pass on their dancing skills to their own daughter. This was especially the case in times of disaster and famine, when a woman had relative freedom to fend for herself in order to survive, save money, and improve her future economic status. French colonial representations of the dancers of the Ouled Naïl focused almost exclusively on women. However, none of the hill tribes to which they belonged specialized in prostitution and only some Nailiyat became dancers. Nevertheless, the exuberance of their ornaments and the exoticism of their costumes add to the general fascination. "The dancer is not walking, she is slipping." Their dance is ancient as all religions, unique and rooted in the earth; Amel Tafsout will share not only the movement, but also the history and culture of these extraordinary dancers and the impact that French colonialism had on their lives and their dance. Skill Levels: All Levels Workshop Title: City Dances: Andalusian Court Dance with Scarves Date/Time: Saturday, June 26, 2021, 4-6pm Central Time Workshop Description: Join Amel on a journey through ancient Andalusian Moorish dances performed by women at various festivities such as weddings in the Maghreb. This dance emphasizes the elegant gestures of the dancer's arm and hands and is inspired by classical music and dance that originated in Andalusian Spain and traveled to North Africa when the Moors were expelled from el Andalus. The movement incorporates the rich tapestry of Arab-Andalusian traditions from the ancient cities of Algiers, Constantine and many other ancient North African cities, at a time considered by many to be the golden age of tolerance and cultural exchange. Algerois, of urban origin, danced by women accompanied by music to the rhythm of the old city repertoire, classical or popular. The dancers, dressed in rich traditional costumes and adorned with jewels, highlight the elegance and harmony of the movements, made of small, light steps and modest inclinations. Zendali dance is widespread in the eastern regions of Algeria. It is practiced by women and they are dressed in beautiful dresses embroidered with gold thread. During the workshop, Amel Tafsout will focus on the different techniques of scarf dancing with the hands and hips and on how to keep the rhythm while improvising.

  • Dressing the Dancer: Identity and Belly Dance Students A
    Dressing the Dancer: Identity and Belly Dance Students A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Margaret Anne Deppe IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Joanne Eicher, Elizabeth Bye May 2010 © Margaret Anne Deppe 2010 1 Abstract Dressing the Dancer: Identity and Belly Dance Students Dress is a primary tool in the public presentation of the self (Stone, 1962). Clothing, grooming, and the physical appearance of the dressed body contribute to self image in both professional and recreational settings. Attending belly dance classes is a popular leisure activity among American women, and for many, dress accouterments are a significant part of the class experience. Dressing of the self for recreational events gives individuals the opportunity to express alternate aspects of the self not typically evident in other social settings and provides an opportunity for female socialization. The appearance of vendors selling specialized dancewear for classes, seminars, and workshops suggests that dress plays a significant role for students at all levels of belly dance activity, not just among those who perform professionally. This study examines the types of dress worn for belly dance classes and the motivations for dress choices made by students learning to belly dance from professional instructors in dance classes, seminars, and workshops. The study will further investigate how dress contributes to the expression of identity in the belly dance class context. The methods used for this study are participant observation at locations and events where belly dance classes, workshops, and seminars are held as well as half-hour interviews with students attending those events.

The roots of this structure reside in the Arabian Night’s renowned frame structure, which can be traced to the Islamic aesthetic, primarily its textile culture and organization of the Quran. To further investigate framing, embedding, and interlacing as narrative techniques, the thesis draws upon discussions by M. M. Bakhtin, Erving Goffman, Mieke Bal, and Gerald Prince, applying their ideas and definitions to Orson Welles’s Citizen Kane, Woody Allen’s The Purple Rose of Cairo, and Orhan Pamuk’s My Name is Red. The postmodern text The Hakawati is then reexamined in reference to these backgrounds, and finally, Pier Pasolini’s Arabian Nights is analyzed as a cinematic adaptation of the frame narrative.

For the Ouled Nail dancers; the women who inspired dreams Finally, at the extreme limit of the flattened plain, we were surrounded by an indecisive mirage. Here the earth no longer has either solidity or colour. It is a place where the dazzled eye reads the solid mountains as wisps of mist. A vague sequence of images replaces the seven heads of the Seba Rous, the Guest-Esthel and the mountainous entrance to the land of the Ouled Nail.
