PERFORMANCE INTENSIVE

Moria will be teaching three PERFORMANCE INTENSIVES between April 9th and 19th.

The intensives include evening and weekend rehearsals for a performance in a dinner-theatre show on April 20th: World Dinner Theatre: India.

The goal of the PERFORMANCE INTENSIVE is to give dancers an opportunity to learn specific choreographies as well as how to develop and shape choreography in general. Moria will also share information on theatrical staging as well as the elements of costume and makeup design.

The focus of the intensive is to help train dancers how to perform in a dinner-theatre venue that is typical for belly dancers then give them an opportunity to immediately apply what they have learned.

The performance will showcase Odissi choreography, Tribal Fusion choreography, and a performance of the Court of the Red Snake Queen, which was performed at Hard Raq in 2017.

ADDITIONAL WORKSHOPS

TRIBAL FUSION DRUM SOLO

Saturday April 13th 10:00 am ~ 12:00 pm

Moria's TRIBAL FUSION DRUM SOLO offers a unique take on percussion and rhythm.

In this innovative class you will learn to play music through your muscles using Tribal Fusion’s signature locks, breaks, fluid arms, shapes, and combinations as well as Moria's Muscular Belly Dance Technique (MBDT) for layering, traveling, and transitioning.

Moria's fun and exciting workshop culminates in a Tribal Fusion drum solo choreography that you can continue to drill in your studio or perform immediately.

All levels are welcome.

SACRED GEOMETRY CHOREOGRAPHY

Saturday April 13th 10:00am ~ 12:00 pm

Moria's SACRED GEOMETRY CHOREOGRAPHY is based on the blueprint of Creation revealed in the timeless geometric codes seen in multiple life forms from DNA molecules to snow flakes, pine cones and the branching of trees, or a nautilus shell.

The workshop begins with a PowerPoint presentation designed to inform the dancer about the specific shapes and overarching proportions which govern the unfolding universe.

This mechanic of expansion, known as the "golden ratio," is clearly visible in physics and biology as well as ordinary movement, and more importantly, sacred movement.

In SACRED GEOMETRY CHOREOGRAPHY you will be trained to see these shapes in order to bring awareness to the angles, circles, and lines you use to create traditional choreographies.

During the class, dancers will learn how to make these shapes with her body as well as how to bring sequence and intention into the equation so that she can transfer this knowledge onto the stage.

The goal of SACRED GEOMETRY CHOREOGRAPHY is to help dancers enhance their abilities in the Sacred Performing Arts by learning ways to successfully articulate movements at the core of divine creation in order to transform the profane into the profound.
