Feedback33 with Shelly Maxwell Thurs 23 & 30 June 2011 @ London Studio Centre
Venue: The London Studio Centre, 42 - 50 York Way, London N1 9AB (adjacent to Lincoln Lounge)
Cuban Contemporary Dance with Shelly Maxwell, Thursday 23 & 30 June 2011 7pm – 9pm (registration 7pm – 7.25pm; class 7.30pm – 9pm)
Shelley's class is a fast paced Cuban technique class merging elements of la technica Cubana with her own unique contemporary flavour. The Cuban technique is loosely rooted in the Graham technique and through additional inclusions of undulations and spinal manipulations forces the dancer to master the shifting of weight through space. The class is highly physical with challenging exercises in the centre and travelling sequences that demand a sense of attack and musical dynamism. The class culminating in a challenging movement sequence to end.

TRIBE OF DORIS 2011
Many Cultures, One Race
The intercultural summer school, festival and global jamboree returns
9th–14th August - Black Down Hills, Devon
The world’s most vibrant intercultural exchange of acoustic music, dance, song and ceremony returns to its beautiful Devon site once again for its 19th year from Tuesday 9th till Sunday 14th August with a tantalising new line up of workshops and performances, featuring teachers from all pockets of the globe.
This year’s African highlights include renowned polyphonic singer Anita Deaulne of Zap Mama fame; authentic Moroccan Gnawa trance musicians and dancers, Jil Gnawa; African dance and drum legend Nii Tagoe from Baka Beyond; Senegalese drummer Seckou Keita, celebrated African dance teacher Idrissa Camara and Dr Olu Taiwo leading Animal Spirit Dance.
As ever, learning from these and many other amazing teachers will be the core activity bringing 40 + workshops a day in drumming, dance and voice, intermingled with a wealth of open mic performances, spontaneous jams, indigenous ceremonies, fireside gatherings and creative youth activities, in addition to a spectacular roster of evening showcase performances. The youth area proffers a thrilling diversity of activities, from theatre, circus skills, metal work and trampolining to hip hop, rap, poetry and digital recording.
For those that want to relax and revive there’s a wellbeing zone, yoga, tai chi, other movement classes and the ever popular sauna.
Workshop highlights from Africa include: djembe drumming, Sabar dance and drum, traditional and contemporary African dances and songs. Other highlights include Flamenco dance and song, samba reggae, Toltec shamanism, Orisha song, tribal belly dance, derbouka drumming, Egyptian stick dancing, Klezmer dance and Jewish niggum singing. Workshops cater for all levels of experience, from beginners to advanced students.
‘What’s so magical about Doris is its amazing cultural diversity,’ says Siobhan Kierans, one of the festival’s founders. ‘People say they feel at home here, no matter what their cultural roots. The act of learning and sharing through music, dance and ceremony creates a feeling of belonging that you don’t get from passively consuming ‘’other cultures’’ at most world music events.’
The festival’s climax is a spectacular showcase on the Saturday night, when the many workshop groups come together to present what they’ve learnt in a series of vibrant performances.
‘ Doris creates peace and happiness by communing through music, dance and song,’ declared veteran African drummer Adesose Wallace winding up last year’s Sunday morning closing ceremony. ‘This is the future, one tribe.’
