LIZA’S NEXT RAQS SHARQI WORKSHOP IN THE UK!

June 18, 2012 by lizawedgwood


 ‘Pharaonic Baladi’
Saturday 23 June   2- 6 pm
Sunday 24 June  11 am-3 pm
Village Hall, Nympsfield nr Stroud, GL12 3UA
From the images on the ancient tombs in Egypt we see the geometric contours of gods, priests, pharaohs and queens. The angled shapes give strength to the beautiful  figures which have fascinated down the centuries.
During this year’s workshops in Gloucestershire we will explore these shapes and integrate them into a sophisticated but uncontrived form of Baladi which we call  ‘Pharaonic’. The June workshops will give a thorough basis for Raqs Sharqi arms and will extend the Baladi repertoire for all students. Included in the workshops will be discussion about where the dancer would perform this style, what kind of costume would enhance the dance, and we will contrast ‘Pharaonic’ with the ‘natural’ or more country Baladi with which we are familiar.
Individual workshops have their own focus and can be booked separately. Attended as a weekend and particularly as a year’s project, they offer an intense, deeply satisfying opportunity to integrate the dance physically, mentally and emotionally.  The teaching is holistic and supportive, and because the emphasis is always on ease and authenticity, beginners will find the workshops an enjoyable introduction.  Experienced dancers will gain confidence and find new inspiration.


Cost:   each workshop  £30    (Beginners  £15)
           both workshops £50    (Beginners £25)
I really do have to know numbers, so please book by sending a cheque to Liza, address on application.
