SUMMARY:Poetry in Motion
DESCRIPTION:Where Movement Becomes Devotion\n“Everything in Persian dance is poetry. Every movement describes a story\, a feeling. The dancer takes the audience into a world of fairy tales.”~ Farima Berenji \nPoetry in Motion is interpretive\, improvisational\, and devotional dance form popularized by Farima Berenji that is inspired by mystical and classical Persian poetry.  It originates from her research and life long experience in Persian sacred and classical dance. \nPersian poetry contains spiritual messages representing the Divine essence. The words in Persian poetry speak to us\, revealing the emotion of our soul. Persian poetry is rhythmic—it has an essence of melody\, which guides us to dance. The great Persian poets extolled dance in their poems to symbolize the power of life. Hafiz\, Saadi\, Omar Khayyam\, Attar\, and Rumi each represented dance in their verses as a spiritual instrument to become one with the Divine. \nIncludes live music and lecture by Persian musician Nariman Assadi. \nIn this two hour workshop we will  \n\nDiscover Persian poetry mysticism and some of the fundamental Sufi poets of Iran and their perspectives on the divine love. \nLearn to bring the graceful words and symbols of Persian poetry to life. \nMove\, write\, and practice to various Persian poetry and poetic styles (working individually and as a group). \nLearn to use imagery from the verses of poetry for improvisation.\nLearn techniques to recite Persian Poetry\, find hidden messages\, and use it as guidance and healing.\nCreate devotional dances and whirl to the sacred words of Persian Poetry (both in Farsi and English).\nSing\, chant\, and dance either indoors or outdoors\, and whirl into ecstasy by listening to beautiful live music and poetry.\n\nBe sure to bring inspiring poetry\, prose\, or quotations to read and be ready to dance with others. Farima will help demonstrate movements\, illustrate technique\, and lead us in recitation of Persian poetry and Poetry in Motion. \nPoetry in Motion is Farima’s signature workshop that matches Persian and Near Eastern sacred and mystical dance to poetry as a gateway for self-growth and spiritual transformation through movement\, music\, and moving meditation. \nRegistration\nBy online video conferencing.
