Folks,

A fascinating evening for this Friday....

ANAR DANA 
Cultural Evening 
Focus on Orientalism & the Development of Middle Eastern Dance

A special feature of our Bay Area ANAR DANA Project is our Friday Cultural Evening Series. Each Friday before our training weekend we have a potluck and look at films, photos, costumes, listen to music, discuss history, ethnography and politics of one of the regions from our project. These eveings have been wonderful community events!

These evenings are open to everyone! 

Suggested donation is $10 for ANAR DANA members and $15 for the general public and goes towards new costumes for the ensemble.  

Our fourth Cultural Evening will be Friday, Nov. 9th, 2012 at Amanda's house in Campbell (South Bay).  The focus is Orientalism and the development of dance in the Middle East fr! om the 19th & 20th centuries.  How did the Orientalist painte rs, photographers, and writers see the Middle East and its dancers, and how did that vision shape the dance and its costume?  Come discover for yourself the development of "Raqs es Sharqi" or "Belly Dance" on hand from paintings, photos and old film clips!

Please feel free to pass this on and invite your friends.  If you can, bring something for the potluck that fits the evening's theme.

Please email Amanda to reserve your space and get directions!

Best regards!
