Finding a Venue



EIGHTH WEEK:

04.14.2012

This weekend’s rehearsal came after the excellent news on Thursday that a venue and a performance date have been set! The performance will be held at the Zamani Gallery in Georgetown (3145 Dumbarton Street NW, Washington DC). The Zamani Gallery features a wide selection of different pieces of Afghan artwork and craftsmanship from many parts of Afghanistan (http://www.zamanicollections.com/index.html), and we very much look forward to working with the Zamani Team who have been very kind to offer Afghan dresses and live music to accompany the dance the evening of the performance. After having the opportunity to visit the gallery yesterday (Friday), I am very much excited to begin rehearsing in the space!

The official performance information is as follows:

Date: April 29, 2012
Time: 5:00pm-7:00pm
Location: Zamani Gallery,
    3145 Dumbarton Street NW
    Washington, DC
    20007

We look forward to seeing you there if you are able to attend!

By way of rehearsal, this week we worked on thinking about how to rearrange the dance some to fit the space we will be performing in. Below, please find a brief video detailing the basic format and structure of the dance. Not all dancers are present in this video and the video serves as an informative video diary more than as a video displaying final performance material.

We, as always, welcome any thoughts or perspectives you may be willing to share!
