*Karim Nagi, Oct 1 & 2, 2010! www.karimNagi.com

Workshop 1, Friday, October 1st, 6:30-8:30pm. ARAB DRUM WORKSHOPS "SAIDI, SAUDI, SUDASI" (SSS) : Students may bring their Arabic Tabla, Dumbek, Darabuka, Riqq, Duff, Muzhar or Frame drum. Karim will teach these three dynamic rhythms, emphasizing the Arab technique of double off-hand taks and running method. Students will learn how these rhythms propel specific dance styles from around the Arab world. Karim engages all levels from advanced beginner (someone with basic skills) to advanced intermediate. Every level will be adequately challenged and will benefit from the ensemble approach. At Pleasure Point FDC, 907 41st Avenue, Santa Cruz, CA 95062

Workshop 2, Saturday, October 2nd, 12-2pm. MAQAM and TAQSIM FOR DANCERS : Maqam is the Arabic system of scales and melody creation. All songs, weather classical, pop or dance, are created in a Maqam, which dictates whether the song is happy, somber, uplifting, spiritual or sensual. Singing the maqam often herps the dancer feel the emotion created by the distances between each note. We then align notes in the scale with specific body isolations, allowing them to follow a maqam by using their bodily dance vocabulary. Dancers will learn how to recognize, sing and move to maqams by learning famous song examples. Special attention will be given to Taqsim, the art of instrumental solo improvisation. The dancer will practice interpreting the instrumental music into movement and personifying the mood of the music. This workshop is vital for dancers who wish to better interpret melody into movement. At International Academy of Dance, 320 Encinal Street, Santa Cruz, CA 95060
