The Bellydance Diaries

T396607509
This dance/drama allows you to experience the sights, sounds and sensations of modern Cairo through the richly revealing and often humourous tales of seasoned belly dancers in Egypt. Luscious and sensuous dances are interspersed throughout the "diaries" in this one-woman play, in which you also will learn about the history and meaning behind the different dance styles, and the taboos and strange freedoms women possess. Daphne's true-life experiences as a belly dancer, mixing and mingling with some of the very best performers in the Middle Eastern belly dancing world, is the inspiration behind her fictional dancers. Through a combination of previous journal entries, and new interviews, this year boasts an even greater selection of characters drawn to the dance for the most surprising reasons. Featuring live Arabic musicians on accordion, tabla and riq, the show ends with an improvised piece between shimmying hips and drum - a finale that delighted and inspired audiences at sell out shows in the UK for the past two years.
