Cassandra is teaching and performing at the
Arab Dance Seminar November 1-3, 2013 The goal of this intensive weekend of workshops, lectures, performances, and dance parties is to give the student a comprehensive Arab cultural dance experience. Going beyond nebulous "Bellydance" or generic "Middle Eastern" categories, the Seminar puts all the skills, techniques, and practices back into their cultural contexts. The Arab world is the origin and breeding ground for multiple styles and practices with a common language and aesthetic. This Seminar helps clarify and illuminate that tradition. The 10th Arab Dance Seminar is 20 hours of dance classes and lectures and a live performance. This year they're focusing on Storytelling and Theater with Cassandra, Amel Tafsout, Kay Hardy Campbell, and of course, Karim Nagi. This seminar always sells out early, so register soon! Last I heard (April 9), only 12 spots left! |

Jawaahir's Annual Concert: Flower of Algeria featuring the music of Warda al-Jazeera Wednesday-Sunday, November 14-24, 2013 The
Ritz Theater This year’s concert features the music of the Algerian singer Warda al-Jazeera, who shares the same legendary status as Lebanon’s Fayrouz and Egypt’s Umm Kalthoum. She was dubbed The Algerian Rose and is known to her fans simply by her first name. Warda became famous across the Middle East for her love songs. At the height of her fame she starred in a number of films and in her lifetime recorded 300 songs. Her voice has been described as sultry, sweet, and powerful. “Excellent music was composed for her and she had a long and large repertory. It has quite a lot of dance possibilities,” Cassandra says. She has been wholly inspired and immersed in the music and can’t wait to share Warda’s depth and influence with local audiences. Jawaahir will be working with the fabulous singer Nidal Ibourk for the show. Nidal was born and raised in Morocco and is currently living in the U.S. She has performed in many Arabic and international venues with well-known Arab-American artists and music ensembles such as Simon Shaheen, the Middle Eastern Music Ensemble at the University of Chicago, Chicago Arabesque Festival, and the Arab World Festival. The incomparable 11-piece Georges Lammam Ensemble includes: the fabulous Georges Lammam (Music Director, violin, vocals), "Mr. Soul" Elias Lammam (accordion, vocals), Naser Musa (oud, vocals), Karim Nagi (rockin' riq), Miles Jay (bass), Ali Amer (qanun), Susu Pampanin (tabla, percussion), violinists Laura Harada and Salah Fattah, and the multi-talented Tim O'Keefe (percussion)! And, of course, Nidal Ibourk. Enjoy! You can listen to a concert of Warda recorded in Doha, Qatar in 1994. Here's a link to Nidal Ibourk singing with the Michigan Arab Orchestra, including a fabulous opening solo by our friend Elias Lammam. And here's her website. |
