Hi there
Have you ever felt that you are so interested in a subject and you want to introduce it to others but you have 100 ideas ??? This is me now lol
So the case is this:
On October 2006 for first time its held in Athens Greece the "World Dance Congress, under UNESCO".
I'm a member of the International Dance Council, and have 3 things to show at the Congress.
a) a choreography (this is ready, its a Tekbilek song, ambient with saidi - debke at the back coming infront and going back again, so its gonna be a duet with 3rifily the only greek teacher for tribal - fusion, she will do the tribal parts, me the folk ones, both dressed with black with jewel's from the specific dance, we are working on 4 min choreo 3 months !!! we want to show that dance is an art form and that with hard work, friendship and sharing even 2 forms that are in war can be presented together in peace)
b) demonstrating a 30 min dance lesson
c) 30 min speaking about my dance subject
My problem is at the c) with what to start? what would be interesting for the other members (mind that there are gonna be 1.000 dance teachers from all dance forms from all over the world) so my first idea was to show and speak about the dances of middle east and how different and so beautiful they are compairing with what the general public / dancers of other forms believe, plus the missunderstandings that exist.
But I got a BIG no from the president about this subject.
Because he said that the professional's from other dance forms already know this.. but i dont believe they know it, i have met so many teachers from ballet and jazz and tap and ballroom and they dont have a clue what is oriental dance !!!
Anyway
So I'm struggling what subject now(((
A small presendation of the various styles of oriental dance?
Differences between traditional and social?
The musical connection with the dance and the istruments?
Arggggggggggggggg my nerves !!!
The congress is gonna take place at one of the Olympic 2004 Stadiums and its not exactly the perfect to create atmosfair ...
Any idea welcomed, even if you support my first idea, pls say it, cause I might do that at the end. (also already have prepared it lol and i need my vacations, short on time here)
