SUMMARY:Poetry in Motion
DESCRIPTION:Where Movement Becomes Devotion\nAn interpretive\, improvisational\, and devotional dance form inspired by mystical and classical Persian poetry. \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. \nIn this workshop we will  \n\nlearn to bring the graceful words 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.\ncreate devotional dances and will be whirling to the sacred words of Persian Poetry (both in Farsi and English).\nlearn techniques to recite Persian Poetry\, find hidden messages\, and use it as guidance and healing.\nsing\, chant\, and dance both indoors and outdoors\, and whirl into ecstasy by listening to beautiful live music and poetry.\n\nBe sure to bring inspiring poetry 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. \nLight Snacks and refreshments will be available. Feel free to bring a snack for yourself or to share! \nRegistration\nRegister online \nOr pay by bringing $30 in cash or check.
