A
photographer has to have talent and skill
to capture the perfect moment. Especially now
since all cameras have that split second of mechanical
delay. A built in
sense of the music and what the dancer will do
is needed to be able to capture great
photos. Support your community photographers: buy
the photos
they take of you, acknowledge them in your publicity,
and thank them for attending festivals to take
your picture!

2-8-08 Amina's
North Beach Memories, Chapter 7: Yousef –Black
Lights and Veils by Amina Goodyear
It
was kind of hard to compete with this kind of action when we kept
our clothes on.
2-6-08 The
Secret of Saiidi Song and Dance-Straight from the Horse’s
Mouth by Keti Sharif
"Saiidi".
Say this word anywhere in Egypt (including El Saiid) and colloquially
it implies someone who is funny, backward - a loveable, gullible
character with salt-of-the-earth village simplicity. To call
someone “Saiidi”is a local term or endearment for
a likeable buffoon!
2-5-08 My
First Mid East Gig by Yasmina Ramzy
Once
we landed in Amman, we were greeted on the tarmac by solid lines
of soldiers on both sides leading to the doorway of the airport,
machine guns pointed towards the passengers. I don't recall ever
seeing even one Canadian soldier in the flesh and blood, let
alone a gun, let alone so many big guns and pointed at me. I
don't think I blinked during that endless walk. We were clearly
not in Hawaii.
2-1-08 MECDA
Breaks Its Silence by Rachel Lazarus Soto
Thomas
agreed that this was a good idea, and Schill volunteered to do
the paperwork, presumably on the behalf of MECDA.
1-31-08 A
Vendor's View by Artemis
Promoters
need to respect their vendors, not just for fees that they have
given them, but because without the vendors lining the room,
where is the color (other than on the stage), and where is the “bazaar”atmosphere
of the event?

Devil's Details, Show
Ethics for Professionals Part
5 - Beauty by
Yasmin
For
new dancers, mastering the art of glamour can be daunting. But take heart,
while internal sensuality requires character work, external beauty is easier
to fix
