mekyriaThis weekend we performed several groupdances on Gunesh's hafla in Amersfoort. The candle dance went okay, though I felt is was better received at the hafla in Zeist. Melaya was fun, though my melaya didn't cooperate as it should after all this practicing. The slow 9/8 song impressed the audiencce with flourishing skirts (note to self: create choreo with skirt moves for myself) and the drum solo worked really well because the audience was spread throughout the room and the six of us did a good job at the floorpatterns and changing sides.
Talked with Roos about her hafla on june 14th. I promised to do a performance and I'm torn between a nice baladi on a song by Fatme Serhan or a dramatic piece to msafer by Abdel Wahab. Baladi is the easy way out (improvisation!) but Wahab would be nice because it's a staged show. Have to think about it: four weeks to go and already running out of time.
