PRESENCE.
pres·ence (przns), n.:
1. The state or fact of being present; current existence or occurrence.
2. Immediate proximity in time or space.
3. The area immediately surrounding a great personage.
4. A person who is present.
5. A supernatural influence felt to be nearby.
6. A person's bearing, the quality of self-assurance and effectiveness that permits a performer to achieve a rapport with the audience: stage presence
What makes us authentically present, and thereby powerful and effective on the stage?
In this class we challenge ourselves to embrace a state of presence in our dance, in all the ways that the definition of "presence" implies. In a safe and supportive setting, we employ theatre and movement technique along with spiritual and emotional self exploration, delving into ways to achieve a fluid oneness and communion with our audience. Dancing on the liminal ground of technical precision *with* spontaneous expression, of control *and* letting go, we allow our energies to flow from the center with joy, wholeness, receptivity, strength, and passion.
4-5:30pm
at the St Lawrence Arts Center, Portland, ME

Performance and workshop in Providence RI: at TempleCon 09: Raqs Victoriana
photo by Michael HarkavyTemplecon 09:
This Saturday in Providence, RI.
12:30 performance, 3:30 class.
My friend Ximon has been working hard to put this con together! I'm glad to be a part of it.
From the TempleCon website:
Circus performers aren't the only spectacle to be seen during the Mid-Day Diversion. Intense and powerful, Aepril Schaile's dark fusion of bellydance, modern dance, and performance art captivates all who witness it, and we are privileged to have her join us at TempleCon 2009. In addition to her performance during the Mid-Day Diversion, Aepril will be teaching the TempleCon dance class "Raqs Victoriana: The darkly romantic art of Victorian-era inspired bellydance," which focuses on "Fusing the antique sepia and lace of Victoriana with the serpentine sensuality of contemporary bellydance..."

Dancing Creates Jobs?
Please watch this news video titled "Dancing creates Jobs?" on the imminentchallenge to arts support with the Stimulus Package threatened.

The arts could very possibly be cut out of Obama's stimulus plan due to pressure from "conserative" politicians. The vote is expected very soon.
Please call your senators right now to tell them how important the arts are to you.

just pick your state and call! (or email at the very least)
Every contact counts!
Thank you
