Tuesday night brings to New England a breakthrough event, bridging cultures and
community: Motif.
What: Motif: A Community Event Blending Music, Dance, & Ritual
When: 7pm, Tuesday 16th (2 hours long).
Where: World Dance & Music Center, 925 Central Ave, 2nd floor, Pawtucket, RI
02861
Motif started off as an experimental gathering, spearheaded by dancers Tempest
(founder of the Cauldron of Annwyn Pagan Society of RI which was active from
1998-2001) and Lee Ali, with musicians Karim Nagi and Tim Rayborn at Tribal Fest
8. It was created with the intent to bring the bellydance community back closer
to the roots of Middle Eastern dance and music - educating while actively
involving and immersing the participants in a community experience.
The attendees will learn dance, rhythm, and trance techniques, as well as
working with other dancers/musicians in a live setting, and understanding
working with energy and fostering community. It was such a success that it has
become an annual event at Tribal Fest, and is now a part of Gothla US, and has
traveled across the US with the Durga Tour.
Attendees can expect to learn dance movements and rhythms that have folkloric
roots, and gain skills to help both build community and personal confidence.
Musicians are encouraged to bring their instruments, and dancers, bring their
moves! This event will be led by Tempest, Asharah, and Tim Rayborn.
Price is an unbelievable bargain at $20, for this fabulous 2 hour event with 3
instructors! The organizers kindly request that you rsvp in order to secure your
spot.
