At each class we will work on various performance exercises to stretch the artists creative muscles. During this session each dancer will pick an aroma or a taste as her muse. She will investigate it’s properties; scent, healing use, history, symbolism, color and texture. . . She will pick music, dance design, figure out costuming, and perhaps props that will be used to compliment in a dance inspired by it. This is a performance of her making, but it is worked on in class under the guidance of Delilah and the constructive feedback from other class members. Each dancer is then invited to perform it in our annual “In the Garden of Allah” Studio show Sunday April 29th 2010 from 8:00pm – 10:00pm

Herstory

This show concept originated many years ago when Delilah’s Visionary Dancers were studying the power of the muse in their dance. Searching for inspiration that engaged the body, mind and senses they began exploring the world of scent. Our sense of sent is the most mysterious and least understood. So the first few shows were all about the dancers exploration with chosen scents. They research their use history symbolism and then experience the effects of the sent and let it lead them to music, costume and dance composition. Truly a wonderful thought provoking and experiential show to attend.

In recent years we have branched out to also include a sister sense of Taste! So this year you may be invited to imbibe or chew a bit of the dance as well!
