Poi Workshops at the Mystic Jewell with Alien Jon!!!topic posted Fri, February 22, 2008 - 8:26 AM by Tricia M
Poi Workshops at the Mystic Jewell with Alien Jon!!!
I highly recommend taking this workshop. Jon is an incredible prop artist and AZ is very fortunate to have him here willing to pass on his knowledge of poi!
Friday, March 7 - w/Alien Jon & assistant Tricia: $40 covers both classes
• 6-7:00 Fundamental forms of modern poi $20 - Covers fundamental poi concepts, exercises, and poi scales. Indispensable for the beginner, fill in holes for intermediate spinners, and give advanced spinners a chance to delve deeply into the foundation that makes all advanced moves easy to learn and flow with.
• 7-8:00 Advanced Poi and technical concepts $30 - Covers an advanced model and understanding of the spin zones around the human body so that you can spin anywhere in any orientation including behind the head and back or under the legs. This also includes inside planes and inswings in between the arms all around the body. Further exploration in the body and poi relationships as time sculpture: tracing geometry through time. This yields incredible feelings and unbelievable visual effects for your audience. For the uber-advanced we can cover 'Composite' spinning: pattern construction using independent control of each hand/poi. For example advanced hybrids.
Call the Mystic Jewell, Alien Jon, or Tricia to reserve your spot!

For you west siders.
Big Hafla w/Souhail Kasper and Guests
An update on the hafla: we'll be partying down on the west side at a picturesque home in Goodyear. There will be food, goodies to buy from Anaya Tribal and Fashionable Movement, and lots of rocking live music to dance to. Featuring Moroccan music-maker Rachid Halihal on oud, violin and vocals (his enchanting voice being his best instrument, IMHO) and a kickass primal percussion section led by Souhail Kaspar, we'll be ready to rock the house! Bring some wine and a tasty snack and your best party gear and get ready to get your dance on. We'll have some surprise musicians, both local and otherwise, and featured dance performances by the sensational Helena Vlahos, the sublime Carrie Konyha, and the lovely Lara Kymana.
The hafla is $15 in advance and will be $20 at the door (see below). Also, check out our cool classes. If you want to learn to rock the drum like Souhail or get tips on shakin your booty to the rhythm, or if you liked Rachid's beautiful singing and want to learn a cool Moroccan ditty to sing or play later, there is a workshop there for you!
Registration details are on my website: www.phoenixhafla.com
I'll be updating it more over the next few days, so if you don't see the info you want, please drop me a line.
Also, a reminder that Midnight Caravan II will be October 17th-19th, so if you're working on an event for the fall or know someone who is, please pass the word. That weekend we'll be hooking it up on the east side at the Mesa Women's Club.
Can't wait to everyone there!
(In case you're wondering, the hafla fees help cover the musicians's airfare, food and hotel expenses, and occasionally there's enough left over to compensate them for their time. I do my best to find cool, eclectic locations to have a fun, yet affordable shindig and share the talent and teaching skills of these amazing artists with my friends in Arizona. If you have access to a big, cool house or venue or nice space somewhere and would like to host in the future, let me know! I'm always on the lookout for fun locations).
Pharos LIVE!
Date & Time:Saturday, June 14, 2008 - Sunday, June 15, 2008
9:00 PM
Pharos, the great lighthouse of antiquity and the eighth wonder of the world, whose height was not matched until the early 20th century, was built by the Ptolemaics in the port city of Alexandria on the coast of Egypt. It was a beacon, a light that could be seen for miles during the day and vastly further at night; and it guided the world to Alexandria, the ancient seat of knowledge and trade within the world. It collapsed in 1310 AD due to an earthquake, falling into the sea.
But now it rises again in spirit and purpose, being rebuilt by Phoenicians for Phoenicians and the world at large; to shine its great light again, to become a new beacon of the times, drawing all peoples together to learn, trade, dance, and play music. Now, what better place to embrace the light, than in Phoenix, AZ... in The Valley of the Sun? Now the light rises from the desert itself, shining brighter than ever before...
Pharos LIVE! is nearly 4 hours of incredible LIVE entertainment consisting of all live music from various local and national ethnic world music and drum groups, performing in conjunction with incredible local and national dancers and dance troupes. The list of performers includes:
Arizona Drum and Dance, the region's most amazing traditional West African ensemble; featuring Bernd Geh and Mabiba Baegne.
Soleil Noir- performing evocative music and singing. Performing with Deja Dance Collective.
Of the Earth - featuring fantastic cultural music and dance.
White Claws World Percussion, with music and heavy drumming... performing with local favorites: The Desert Flowers, Satori Sunrise, and the awe inspiring Anaya Tribal.
Cosmos - Arizona's premiere Greek folk band performing with dancers.
Traveler, Arizona's nationally known Celtic and Middle-Eastern music band. They are an incredible sight to see.
Headlining the show is the world renowned Raquy and the Cavemen out of New York City, and featuring the talents of Bastet (Florida/Georgia via New Mexico), local goddess Diosa Holmes, and the amazing and infamous Hands of Kali "Experimental Belly Dance" out of Seattle, WA.
But there's even more... audience tarot readings from Hands of Kali, the stylings of the sensual Katara... and stuff keeps getting added.
However, there is more to Pharos than just a show. Pharos is also about opportunities and learning. There are four drum workshops and eight dance workshops to dive into over a period of two days. There are Raquy workshops, Hands of Kali workshops, Diosa workshops, Bastet workshops, Mabiba Baegne workshops, and Bernd Geh workshops. Many of these instructors don't hold workshops that often, and some won't be back to AZ for a long time (if ever). If you're a dancer or a drummer (or both), take advantage of this opportunity now. Workshops will be held at the Pharos "Main" studio, The Mystic Jewell Studio (524 E. Broadway in Tempe), on June 14th and 15th , as well as overflow into the neighboring dance studios (Flamenco Studio).
PHAROS THE SHOW:
The venue for Pharos LIVE! is The Sets in Tempe, AZ., 93 E. Southern. There are two types of tickets: General Admission and VIP/Reserved. General Admission is $25. VIP/Reserved is $40. Every ticket includes two free drinks from the bar. Seating is limited and early purchase is encouraged. Tickets are available through www.trashcityentertainment.com and their affiliated sites. There is a $2 fee for purchasing tickets on-line. All ticket sales are final and no refunds will be given*. Obviously, this is a 21 and over show (bar). No photography/videography of any sort, without a press pass, is allowed. Violators will be escorted off of the premises with no refund.
* Should the Pharos Live show be cancelled, all ticket buyers will be refunded their monies less the on-line banking fee.
WORKSHOPS:
All workshops will be held at The Mystic Jewell Studio or its neighboring studios as per the workshop schedule (available at blog.myspace.com/index.cfm ).
Workshops range in price from $25 to $35. Check the Pharos workshop schedule for pricing per workshop, class times, and other info. All workshops will be held on Saturday, June 14th and Sunday June 15th, 2008, between the hours of 9am and 5pm*.
All workshop registrations and payments are final AND non-transferable**. Space is very limited and it is first come first serve. Registration for workshops is available at www.trashcityentertainment.com.
Package deals: There are two workshop package deals, the "ANY 3" and the "Pharos MEGA".
The "ANY 3" deal is this: You can choose any three workshops from any instructor (drum or dance) for only $80. If you purchase this option, you merely list the workshops you wish to take in the "comments" field when purchasing***.
The "Pharos MEGA" is ALL eight dance workshops (only) for $180. That's a huge savings! ****

***If a workshop is cancelled in relation to an "ANY 3" deal, the participant will be given the choice to take another workshop or have 1/3rd of their money refunded.
****If a dance workshop is cancelled in relation to "The MEGA", there is no refund of the difference. Should two dance workshops be cancelled, you will receive 1/7th of your money as a refund and 1/7th for each additional workshop cancelled beyond that. The MEGA was based on seven dance workshops. Pharos threw in the 8th one for free cuz we luv ya.
Ticket/registration sales for both Pharos LIVE! and Pharos Workshops will be made available out-of-state by March 4th. We sincerely apologize that the March 1st target didn't pan out. Things keep getting added, things change, etc., and so forth. Thank you for your understanding and support. In state ticket sales and registrations will be made available one week later.
PHAROS... It's alive. Follow the light Arizona. Bring the music, the dancing, the community, and the world together. Where? Well... right here in your own back yard. As other events fold, out of nowhere... the tower of light rises again within the desert of Phoenix. Follow that light. Support that light. Add yourself to that light. Then watch as its power draws the people in. Support Pharos; then... get ready for Pharos II (which will be quite SICK!). If you're gonna burn it... BURN IT with everything you've got!
