Thread: Article on my lecture/demonstration at LAU

Hello,

An article has been posted on the website of the Lebanese American University on my lecture and workshops. I'm supposed to be working on a transcript of it - I may put up excerpts from the discussion segment that was very lively and interesting!

LEBANESE AMERICAN UNIVERSITY


LAU | Reviving an Endangered Art Form: Classical Oriental Dance in the Spotlight

This looks wonderful - thanks for sharing!

I'd love to read the transcript when you've finished it. Thanks for sharing the article with us!

The three day program soudns great, it seems like you could really discuss a lot of information and teach the students a couple of bellydance moves too. were you practicing a backbend in the picture that you're all bending the knees and leaning back?

Thanks for sharing this. :)

Hi Mekyria,

The lecture was separate - it was given at the same theatre but that was open to the public. I'm actually glad they didn't upload a lecture pic because I was dressed like a rather prim librarian circa 1950! The pictures on the site are from the workshops that were only open to the Fine Arts students; I placed the cap on fifteen students. In that picture, I was showing them a backbend and explaining the importance of proper weight distribution and tensing the glutes to support the spine.
