Grace as the snake priestess in 'Dreams of Cleopatra.'
Performance is framed by time, the environment, and emotional context. This makes it essentially unrepeatable. The story transforms with the telling, and gains momentum.

TRIBAL FEST 9 Sebastopol, CA Workshop by Grace: Sacred Serpent Learn how to move like a serpent—Deviant style. The serpent is one of the most powerful symbols in the human psyche, and it is no accident that snakes are such a strong element in belly dance. In this workshop, we will address the singular, unmistakable quality of movement that a snake possesses. Instead of dancing with a live snake, we will embody the spirit of the serpent within ourselves, and slither! Here is a link to the registration page |
