Why, yes! Yes you are!!!

I am one of the members of 4 Wench Productions and we produce an event called “Tribal Alchemy”. Now I know many of you think because of the word “tribal”, this event has nothing to offer to YOU. This would be incorrect.

What is Alchemy? By definition, alchemy is “ A medieval chemical philosophy having as its asserted aims the transmutation of base metals into gold, the discovery of the panacea, and the preparation of the elixir of longevity. “ How this translates to US is the mixture of different elements of dance and music to create something entirely new.

We offer affordable workshops, 36.00 each (which are approximately one week’s worth of fast food for most) and these workshops are instructed by some of the most sought after teachers around.

For the musicians, we have with us this year Mr. Dave Hall, who has toured with Solace Live and himself has been a drumming instructor for over 15 years. He has a vast knowledge base and much to offer.

For dancers who are not primarily of the “tribal” persuasion, one of our most requested an instructor (returning for a THIRD year) is Mira Betz. Her knowledge base is SO vast; it would fill this page to list every workshop topic she works with. She has taught workshops on Moroccan folkloric dance with us and this year is offering TWO very different workshops (one on improvisation skills and the other is all about the Taxeem!)

We have SOOZ, who is Fat Chance certified coming to share the ATS goodness. We have Theatrical bellydance, we have Belladonna bringing her unbelievable SWORD skills to teach. The list goes on and on!

The fact is, most bellydancers (no matter what style they fall into) use the same dance vocabulary. Our event offers the chance to learn some new ways to USE those moves, perhaps give you a FRESH view of your dance, and maybe turn you on to something you might not have previously been willing to try.

For 36.00 and a few short hours of your time, you can get a glimpse of something new and maybe start to figure out how some dancers “do that stuff”.

Most importantly, this event is NON PROFIT and benefits Safe Haven of Tarrant County. This center is a shelter and provides assistance for women and children who are affected by domestic violence. They can use our help, ALL OF THE BELLYDANCE COMMUNITY’S HELP. Please check out their website www.safehaventc.org/index.html

4 Wench Productions strongly believes in two core ideals: supporting our ENTIRE dance community by having an event that is affordable and offers exciting instruction. More importantly, we believe deeply and passionately about supporting our DFW COMMUNITY as a whole. Benefiting Safe Haven is a perfect way to do so.

So take a few minutes, check out our website www.tribalalchemy.net/ and marinate on it, consider the possibilities you might open yourself up to with just a few hours and a week’s worth of fast food money (okay okay 36.00 for those of us who take lunch to work every day).

If you have ANY questions about anything related to Tribal Alchemy, my email is ALWAYS open: obsidiadarkfusion@gmail.net.

Namaste and bright blessing to all,

Obsidia
