A 2-part number utilizing concepts from the zar and other spiritually motivated dances, in which first there is the expulsion of the bothersome spirit or frustration through the wild, trance-like movements, creating room for positive, rejuvenating energy that can then be shared with one's community. Following, is the exultant celebration of such a spiritual catharsis, influenced by many eastern styles and the kata I was studying at the time. Performed at the Durango 2007 show, videography by Janet Emmons (SimonDraw on YouTube). This is a full improvisation in my signature style Tejedora ("weaver")--and yes, I really went there. :)

Music: Qabil from the Gathering Season album & Khatar from the Ahsas album by Solace

  • ..... quick, warn the family and move the furniture, I'm feeling quite in need of a little Izzy-style catharsis! :-)

  • You go! Dude, I actually broke my bead necklace in this piece. Thankfully it was at the end of the first act. Heee!

  • Wow, you are fearless! :D

  • Er...actually not at all. *grin* I've heard bravery described, not as the absence of fear, but going forward in the face of fear. (or is that brainlessness, not bravery? hahaha!) hugs!
