SEVENTH WEEK:
04.07.2012
This week we established who would like to and be able to
perform at the Nowruz Dance Initiative’s performance in Washington at the end
of April. It was determined that four individuals would be able and willing to
perform, and that these individuals would be those requested to continue
attending rehearsals. For those who preferred not to perform or were not able
to, but who still expressed interest in participating in the Initiative,
discussion was held as to how this might be best accomplished. It was
determined that those participants who still wished to be involved would be
welcome to write about their experiences with the Initiative to be shared on
the Initiative’s Blog.
One participant hoped to share the following:
---------
"To
preface, I'm not a dancer at all. I never really danced much, and I didn't even
go to prom because I wanted to avoid the dancing aspect. However, I have found
that the Norwuz Dance Initiative is really invigorating. I think dancing in
with an ensemble of people who all decided to create and develop our own dance
is fantastic. Moreover, it's great for those people out there with a creative
gene that typically remains unexplored and unused. All in all, I think the
Norwuz Dance Initiative is a great project, and I'm excited to see how the
final product of our efforts will look!"

Thank you to the above participant for his words, and I look
forward to learning more about participants’ experiences and continuing to
build the program!
The remainder of the rehearsal was spent in learning the
remainder of the compiled dance with one participant having to depart early. We
finished learning the piece this week. We look forward to learning from Charity Help International
soon which venue has been identified for the fundraising event at which we will
perform in honor of AFCECO.
