31 August 2008	FireWater Dance presents: A Day of Tribal and Tribal Fusion Belly Dance 31st August 2008 @ Islington Arts Factory, London
	Join us for an exhilarating day of workshops encompassing all things Tribal. Workshops range from pure American Tribal Style Belly Dance to sassy Tribal Fusion, hints and tips on Tribal costuming to rhythm and music for dancers. *** DATE: Sunday the 31st August 2008 *** TIME: 11am - 5:30 pm *** PRICE: Workshops individually priced (see below) or £55 for the day! Workshop Details: Workshop 1 – Tribal Make-up and Costuming with Moirai Time: 11:00 – 12:00pm Come explore what makes an ATS dancer look so mysterious and powerful! In this workshop, Moirai will take students through the history of American Tribal Style costuming and make-up. Tips and tricks for creating your own ATS costuming will be provided, as well a tutorial on how to apply make-up for the stage, so please come prepared! Those who register will be provided with a list of supplies they will need to bring with them before the workshop. Handouts will also be given out to each attendee. Experience Level: ALL £10 Workshop 2 – Middle Eastern Rhythms for Dancers with Rosie Morris Time: 12:00 – 1:25pm This workshop will include an overall look at rhythm – what it is and how to work with it; alongside a detailed practical session on several main Middle Eastern rhythms that the dancer needs to understand in order to move in time with them. We will also look at identifying the different musical layers in any danceable music, so that the dancer can start to think like a musician and work with it instead of against it. There will be frame drum, Egyptian tabla, zil (finger cymbals) and riqq (tambourine) examples and exercises too, so if you have any of these instruments – bring them with you, if not – your hands will be enough! Experience Level: ALL £15 Workshop 3 – Indian and Flamenco Inspired ATS with Philippa & Jesse of Moirai Time: 1:35 – 3:30pm American Tribal Style belly dance is an eclectic dance form originating in San Francisco in the 1970’s. Many of the steps are based on traditional dances from India, Spain and the Middle East as well as Oriental dance. This workshop will cover ATS movements which were inspired by Indian or Flamenco dance. This workshop requires an understanding and ability to execute the following moves: Arabic Step, Egyptian Basic, Hip Bump / Choo-choo, ¾ Shimmy, Taxeem and Bodywave. Experience Level: Intermediate/ Advanced Cost: £20 Workshop 4 – Tribal Fusion: Strength in the Karsilama Rhythm with Hannah of AnaRkali Time: 3:30 – 5:30pm Tribal fusion blends the original force, power and vocabulary of ATS movements with an artistic twist of freedom and an eclectic range of other dance forms. Concentrating on the slinkier and richer of the Tribal fusion movements and Romani inspired flourishes, Hannah will guide you through the earthy Turkish 9/8 Rhythm Karsilama.
