She is most well-known for her Gothic Belly Dance performances and instruction, and is featured on the first ever GBD performance DVD produced by WorldDanceNewYork entitled “The Darker Side of Fusion” and is set to release “Bellydance for Beautiful Freaks,” an instructional DVD, this fall. You may also remember her from ‘Gothic Bellydance’ performance DVD. On Wednesday, September 20th, Tempest will be offering two workshops here in Minneapolis: 4:00-5:30pm: Creating Sacred Space With Your Dance Using ritual concepts from mystical spiritual traditions from both the East and West, we'll examine how the structure of a ritual can create a deeper sense of meaning and purpose in your performance. A basic understanding of Pagan spirituality is helpful, but not required (however, an open mind and creativity is!). Workshop price: $25.00 7:00-8:30pm: Dancing Darkly – Introduction to Gothic Belly Dance Gothic Belly Dance is the union of Middle Eastern Dance with the aesthetic, sound, and emotion of the Gothic subculture. More than just a look or a sojourn into alternative music, discover the theatrical elegance and drama that truly gives “Raks Gothique” its soul essence. We'll focus on key elements for performance, including movement, attitude, aesthetic, and presentation. All skill levels are welcome. Workshop price: $35.00 9:00-10:00pm: Gothla A Gothic hafla! Treat yourself to the incredible artistry of Tempest and various local talent. This is an intimate dance event which is free and open to participants in the “Dancing Darkly” workshop and a limited number of seats for the general public. We are working to finalize the performance roster. If you would be interested in dancing, please let us know (solos are always nice, but duets, triads, and small groups are also welcome)! Payment through PayPal is preferred; please send your payment to innerwilds@innerwilderness.com – putting your full name in the 'Comment' section and indicating if you'd like to dance in the Gothla. This event is for ages 16 and up. Dancers 16-18 must attend with a paying parent or guardian to be admitted. Both the workshops and the Gothla will be held at: Sabathani Community Center Banquet Center 310 East 38th Street Minneapolis, MN 55409 612-827-5981 For more information, please contact us through our website: www.mischievousdjinn.com Mon, 14 Aug 2006 19:49:20 GMT http://amberwaves.tribe.net/thread/ec4c33f3-6c9f-45cc-904e-c1c3d5b050fd#58e592b3-f0ba-46fd-b4bc-b750a3f62790 Lee 2006-08-14T19:49:20Z
