Creating Sacred Space with Your Dance

Motif - Music and Dance

Motif is an experimental gathering, merging music, dance, and ritual. This is NOT a formal performance - it is a communal interaction and lead experience. The event will have a formal beginning to awaken our space, and will be guided throughout the evening by the lead dancers and musicians, and have a formal conclusion. Participants are welcome to bring rugs, pillows, etc. Musicians are welcome to bring their instruments, and dancers should come prepared to dance!

• 5 to 7 p.m.—Creating Sacred Space with Your Dance - Tempest

• 6 to 7 p.m.—semi-private with Tim Rayborn—limited space

• 7:30 to 9:30 p.m.—Motif, an experimental gathering, merging music, dance, and ritual with Tempest and Tim

Tempest 

Tempest pulls from her visual arts background (BFA from RISD), literary tendencies, and global inspirations to create dance that crosses the boundaries of time and culture. Tempest began her journey into dance in 2000, and has traveled the country to study traditional, folkloric, and fusion forms of bellydance. She is the premiere instructor of Gothic Bellydance in North America, and her extensive work in the genre has helped to define and develop the movement across the world. Her compelling performances exemplify her distinctively theatrical and expressionate style, and are rooted in oriental dance technique with a transcendent approach. Her costume designs have revolutionized the look of modern bellydance, and continue to inspire new and old generations of dancers alike
