So we have something called "performance homework" this semester in dance. We have to sign up for one class where we perform a short piece in front of the class. It can be choreographed or improvised. It can be to any music we like. I was going to do something to a normal belly dance piece, maybe something by George Abdo. But first, I decided to do a quick flip through my non-belly dance music, to see if there might be anything else fun. Dead Can Dance crossed my mind. But before I got to that in my CD case, I came across something else. "Should I? Hmmm. Yeah, you know, I really think I have to. Oh, fuck yes."

Tomorrow, I will be semi-improvising a short drum solo piece to Tom Waits's "Pasties and a G-String".

Oh boy is this gonna be fun...

Weird question for you (not quite out of the blue). My wife is a bellydance student locally (Cambridge) and I wanted to ask who your teacher is and where you take classes.

If you don't want to post this publically please email me :

Thanks

Oh, no problem. Amira Jamal is her stage name, and Miriam Hatoum is her real name. She kicks ass. Very cabaret, not tribal. And by the way, do I know you? I noticed you friended me, but haven't checked to see where you might have found me. :)

Thanks

Thanks... I'm trying to remember if I added you after seeing your posts in woodwardiocom's journal or if I met you at Arisia and added you after the convention (I was on the LJ panel). My memory fails at this point (Arisia was a whirlwind of faces, especially at that panel).

My wife, Kiralee (performance name "Sholeh") may also know you (she's not on LJ).

Sorry if I've created a mystery...

Ah, ok. I don't think I actually met you--I didn't see that panel--but I WAS at Arisia. Probably you saw me commenting in woodwardiocom's journal. Nice to meetcha. :)
