Air de Vacances

Hi!
I would like to invite you to my Oriental dance annual retreat in Sherbrooke, Qc. It is given in French, but dance being an universal language, you can still benefit of it. I have taken dance classes in German and still I was able to learn beautiful things!

Here is the link for all the information:http://www.nathalielebel.com/attachments/004_Un%20air%20de%20vacance%202010.pdf

Le Dunyavi:
Le Dunyavi est un style créé par Dalia Carella de New-York qui fusionne essentiellement les danses orientales turques, les danses classique de l'Inde et les danses latines. Dunyavi signifie "du monde" en indien. Marthyna étudie ce style depuis 12 ans. Elle approndie depuis quelques années les danses dont le style Dunyavi est issu afin de bien comprendre et surtout, bien interpréter les différents styles ainsi fusionnés.

Cet atelier vous permettra d'en comprendre les principes à votre tour et de pouvoir présenter une splendide chorégraphie avec de dynamiques mouvements de jupe !

Pour en savoir plus au sujet de Marthyna: www.marthyna.com

Tribal Fusion Bellydance with Rosanna McGuire

Shakti fusion welcomes Rosanna McGuire for a 2 day intensive workshop in tribal fusion!
October 9-10, 2010 - Thanksgiving weekend!
The workshop is in downtown Ottawa with a small possibility of Gatineau (151 Chapel or CEGEP as the backup!).

I'm delighted to bring Rosanna back for a two day workshop, Thanksgiving weekend, Saturday Oct 9 and Sunday Oct 10th. She'll be teaching workshops in her two signature styles, vintage/flapper fusion bellydance and bellyfunk hip hop fusion, each workshop is 4 hours - so you get a weekend intensive with 8 hours of instruction plus a fabulous show!. (for the show, I'm waiting for confirmation on the location/day from the venue).

Saturday 12-5pm
Yoga
Technique and drilling
Intro to vintage jazz dance and how to incorporate it with bellydance - In this workshop we will revue basic charleston, but adding more complicated variations. We will go further in depth into vintage jazz styles and steps, with more footwork and combinations.

***the Saturday workshop includes a mini costuming workshop and break***

Sunday 12-4pm
Yoga
Popping vs. Locking - whats the deal? In this workshop we will clarify what exactly is the difference between popping and locking. Many people confuse the two, mistakenly calling these two distinct dance forms by one term "poplocking." Through a breakdown of the differences and doing a short choreography with each one, we will see that there is actually no such thing as "poplocking."

Please register early to guarantee your spot :)

$170 Both days and show ticket EARLYBIRD!
$150 workshop only EARLYBIRD!
$75 Saturday only EARLYBIRD!
$75 Sunday only EARLYBIRD!

Musical Wheel at Chamberfest with Leo Brooks

Saturday, July 31
Marion Dewar Plaza
110 Laurier Ave. W.
1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.

From Leo Brooks:

As a member of the Hand Drumming community in Ottawa, I want to invite you to take part in a really special event taking place at the end of this month, put together by Chamberfest, Ottawa’s world renown chamber music festival.

The event is called “The Musical Wheel”, and it ingeniously incorporates cycling with music and community participation. Essentially, it is a bicycle ride along the canal from Landsdowne park to Ottawa city hall. Cyclists are treated to live chamber music performances at several stops en route, but the main event happens at Marion Dewar plaza in front of the municipal buildings. Here, the fantastic percussion quartet TorQ will be laying down some grooves for the cyclists to enjoy. They, in turn, will continue to ride around the perimeter of the plaza and are encouraged to join in with bicycle bells, horns and whistles.

And this is where you come in…

I have been commissioned to assemble as many volunteer hand drummers as possible to boost the sonic landscape created by TorQ around the perimeter of the plaza. These players will create a drum circle within the Musical Wheel, with TorQ as the hub. Hand drummers will get the unique chance to jam with each other, a professional percussion ensemble, and dozens of cyclists creating a moving sonic soundscape.

The event takes place on Saturday, July 31, 2010. Drummers are asked to assemble at Marion Dewar plaza by 1:30 pm. The first wave of cyclists is expected to arrive by shortly after 2:00 pm. The Musical Wheel will continue until approximately 3:30 pm. At this time we are hoping the carillon of bells at City Hall will join in for a true climax to the event.

Please let me know via a response to this email whether or not you are able to attend. Of course, friends and family members are invited to join in, regardless of their hand drumming experience. We should have enough experienced players there to carry the beginners along!

Thanks in advance. See you at “The Musical Wheel” 2010!

1st Friday of Every Month
Repo! The Genetic Opera

Shadowcast Performance by the Necromerchant’s Payment
August 6th, Sept 3rd, Oct 1st, Nov 5th and Dec 3rd, 2010

Club SAW?67 Nicholas Street (near the arts court and next to the youth hostel)?Ottawa

Welcome to "Repo! - the Genetic Opera!" Bring your zydrate and get ready for some fun with Ottawa's shadowcast performers - "The Necromerchant's Payment" - a tribute group to the movie "Repo! the Genetic Opera". This movie was released in 2008 and rapidly became a cult classic with groups soon forming to do shadowcast performances during showings of the movie. Shadowcasting is when a live ensemble recreates a movie on stage while the film is playing behind them. It is the ultimate melding of film and theatre, with the cast complimenting the action on screen, and subtly contrasting it with their own unique vision. As such, you are really getting two shows for the price of one. It is the perfect blend of theatre and film, with audience participation and gags thrown in to create a fun, unique event.
 
"The Necromerchant's Payment" are a bunch of lunatics with sharp things dancing around and throwing organs. It's a good old time, full of mischief, mayhem, drugs, rock N roll and anarchy. They perform the first Friday of every month at the Club Saw located at 67 Nicholas Street. The doors open at 8pm and the show starts at 9pm. Admission is a mere $10 at the door, and for your money you are getting a movie, a show, an event, and more importantly, a bunch of people dancing around while having their organs repossessed. What could be better than that?

Hypnosis for women

Judy White MacDonald...Nursing Consultant, Professional Coach, Clinical Hypnotist

All aspects of our lives add to the definition of who we are as women, but the person ‘at the core' is the most important one. Connection with this ‘real' self identity is necessary for us to answer all the important questions in our lives and to find that often elusive joy, happiness, success, peace and contentment.

As women, so many of us have been trained to put the needs of others first. We so often don't even understand what our needs are, or what to do about them. Hypnosis allows us to relax and allow the subconscious mind to reveal truths and strengths which might never have come to light otherwise. There are many ways in which hypnosis can be helpful to women. Please connect to: http://www.timeforachange.ca/womenspage.htm and learn what hypnosis can do for you!
